Questions
- Does Scriptory work offline like Arc Studio?
- Partly. A script you have open keeps taking edits when the connection drops, holds them encrypted on your device and syncs them when you reconnect. Arc Studio can also open scripts with no connection at all; Scriptory cannot, because it does not leave readable copies of your pages on the device.
- Why choose Scriptory over Arc Studio?
- Scriptory has comparable beat boards and story cards, and adds AI script analysis, AI storyboard art, a two-column AV script mode and Hindi/Marathi formatting.
