Purpose-built script elements
Separate scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, and transitions instead of styling every line by hand.
Automatic screenplay formatting
Write the scene. Let the screenplay format take care of itself.
Keep scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions readable while you stay focused on story. Then carry the same scene into a visual storyboard without rebuilding it from scratch.

Stay focused on the scene
Write in screenplay format without formatting every line by hand.
Choose the right block for a scene heading, action, character cue, dialogue, or transition. LlamaGen keeps the page readable while you concentrate on character, rhythm, and what happens next.
Readable revision passes
Review pace, dialogue density, and scene flow in a page shape that remains familiar to writers and production teams.
A direct path to frames
Use formatted scene intent as the starting point for shot planning, visual references, and AI storyboards.
Worked example · Built for the handoff
Formatting is more valuable when it survives the next creative step.
A clean page helps the writer, but it should also help the director, storyboard artist, and visual creator understand what happens, who drives the moment, and which details must remain consistent.
- Keep action concrete and visible
- Make speaker changes easy to scan
- Carry scene context into storyboard prompts
The workflow
From rough scene to visual plan
The workflow keeps formatting useful without letting it get in the way of the draft.
01
Draft in screenplay language
Write the scene with clear action, speakers, and dialogue rather than wrestling with manual indentation.
02
Review the dramatic read
Check whether the page is easy to scan, the action is filmable, and every line earns its place.
03
Open the storyboard workspace
Translate the scene into visual beats and candidate shots while the original intent is still close at hand.
Explore the connected workflow
Keep building from the same story.
Visual screenplay handoff
Break down an approved scene into cast, location, props, story beats, blocking, continuity notes, and storyboard handoff requirements. This is a visual production workspace—not a replacement for drafting or screenplay formatting software.
Storyboard coverage planning
Turn one approved screenplay scene into a reviewable coverage plan: map story beats to shot purpose, framing, screen direction, continuity risks, and an intentional shot order. This workspace is for pre-production decisions, not one-click storyboard generation.
AI screenwriting workspace
Bring the current line, scene, character arc, outline, and storyboard into the right task at the right time. Work with focused context instead of pasting the whole project into disconnected chats.
FAQ
Practical answers for the next draft.
What screenplay elements should be formatted separately?+
At minimum, keep scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions distinct. Their visual differences help readers understand the page at a glance.
Does automatic formatting write the screenplay for me?+
No. Formatting organizes the page. You remain responsible for character, action, dialogue, rhythm, and every creative decision in the scene.
How does screenplay formatting help storyboarding?+
Clear scene headings and action make it easier to identify locations, characters, visual beats, and shot opportunities before generating storyboard frames.
