Creating a blank script

Open a production and select New Script to create a blank screenplay. Spark Story uses Fountain syntax for screenplay formatting — scene headings, dialogue, action lines, and transitions are all supported.

​
The script editor interface

The script editor includes:
  • Toolbar — Formatting controls for scene headings, dialogue, action, and transitions.
  • Formatting palette — Quick-access panel for common Fountain elements.
  • Sidebar — Lists all scenes generated from your script headings.

​
Scene headings

Scene headings (also called slug lines) structure your production. Each heading that begins with INT., EXT., or similar prefixes automatically creates a corresponding scene in the scene editor. Write headings in standard Fountain format: 
INT. STUDIO - DAY
EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT
See script outline and 3D scene list for details on how headings become editable 3D scenes.
