Of course, moving Celtx Studio and the collaboration features to a paid model is ideal for Celtx - it's finally a business model, and shows that Open Source can find ways of making money.

Interestingly, they haven't specified whether that's Canadian or American dollars - Celtx is based in Canada but the majority of professional users are likely to be in America (Hollywood and all) so that's a decision that will be important.

It's currently free during the beta period, but after the kinks are ironed out they plan to charge $50/year. Never worry about accidentally deleting that great line again - you'll always be able to go to your archives and recover safely!Ĭeltx Studio, being proprietary, is where Celtx has revealed they plan to make money. They've also added a long-requested backup feature, which will let you go back to any save point in your project history. In fact, the only way to make it public is through the 'preview' function or by uploading it separately to Project Central. It's different from Project Central because a project isn't inherently public if you upload it. Project Central is great, but it doesn't offer a lot of granular control, and is mainly designed for showcasing your work to others.Ĭeltx Studio is designed to augment Project Central, allowing folks to upload their projects and set sharing permissions and other necessary settings for managing a project. Until now, Celtx has used Project Central, an online site, to facilitate collaboration between writers.

That brings me to the next big new thing: Celtx Studio to use specific functions of the Celtx collaboration servers and to be listed on the Celtx website, your plugin has to be approved by Celtx, however I've been assured that you are still allowed to make and distribute your own plugins as long as they don't use functions that plug into the Celtx server (the proprietary aspect of the Celtx ecosystem). To be an 'official' toolbox application, e.g. The ability to use add-ons and modifications is one that I've actually had since 2005, when I first used Celtx! I'm thrilled it's finally made it in the application. ToolboxĪs a user of Celtx myself (and a longtime writer and reviewer of it here and at YouMakeMedia, our sister site), I've always had a few feature requests and complaints. It's still missing movable tabs, but hopefully the next feature can help solve that. In 2.0, Celtx finally makes the leap to the Firefox 3.0 codebase, bringing with it some awesome new stability updates, speed increases, and more.

A new codebaseĬeltx is a XUL application, and repurposes the underpinnings of Firefox for its evil machinations. So it might seem a little odd that only eight months later, Celtx is making the jump to 2.0 (and it does seem a little sudden) so let's take a look and see if this new version worth its version number.

After years of perpetual beta (it's vogue these days), Celtx, the open source media pre-production and screenwriting application, finally earned its 1.0 status this past June.
