Fountain Publisher: A Screenplay Studio in Plain Text
A source-first editor that turns Fountain plain text into a live screenplay preview, PDF, or Final Draft file.
Field notes
The interface separates plain-text Source, formatted Preview, and an Insights panel that reports pages, scenes, words, dialogue balance, and character usage. Documentation explains that Fountain elements are inferred from capitalization, blank lines, and screenplay conventions, while helper buttons insert title pages, scene headings, dialogue, direction, transitions, and page breaks. Export controls expose compiled PDF and Final Draft FDX output, with US Letter and A4 options.
