Efficiently produce documentaries and factuals.
Documentary and factual productions can span from two people with a camera via magazine-style factuals with a lot of standups and interviews to big multinational productions with reenactments rivalling any high-end drama production. That’s why we offer three different script formats so you can find the perfect format for each specific production. All of them are integrated with the rest of Dramatify’s features for maximum production efficiency and speed. Time is money!
You and your team get a digital collaboration platform specifically developed to support the demands of modern film and TV production. You can use parts of the platform for smaller productions, or all of it for large, demanding productions. It’s that flexible!

3 different script types to choose between!
Dramatify offers three different script format types for you to choose between depending on your own storytelling style and your specific production. Dramatify works great for teamwriting!
- First, with our screenplay format you can either write in Dramatify or upload an existing screenplay through our Final Draft / .fdx file import. If your prefer writing in a screenwriting program, you can also synch any later rewrites!
- Secondly, our rundown format comes with both a distraction-free scriptwriting editor for scriptwriters and journalists, and a technical rundown view. The rundown format is super-flexible and allows you to decide exactly which content you want to show and what timing features you like. Even better, if you need integrated cue cards and easy text export for teleprompters, subtitling and close-captioning, the rundown is your perfect choice!
- Thirdly, if you are a visual person, use our image-based AV (audio/video) script format. Apart from images, you have space for camera instructions, sound/music, action, dialgoue, set, cast members etc. With scene duration and production time visible in the script flow, it’s also perfect for trailers and promos.
