Script Writing Software

This year we're going to start our script writing using a program called Adobe Story. This program is offered in a paid installed version, a free online version, or a paid online version. We, for obvious reasons, are going to test it out using the FREE online version.

All students will need to create an Adobe ID using their LPSD email address. If another email address is used, this account will not be able to be accessed at school.

The address to create an account is https://story.adobe.com/. Create your account, and then log into Adobe Story. You'll likely need to verify it through email before you can use it. 

Stay tuned for a few screencasts to explain Story! 

If you're an Apple user, there's also an app for this program. Check it out here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/adobe-story/id430876855?mt=8

If you don't end up liking Adobe Story in the end, I also recommend using Celtx to write scripts. There are downloads for all devices for this too. Check it out at https://www.celtx.com/a/ux/#documents
