Guys can anyone recommend a good script writing software?
Well, there are a few that I have used.
If you're looking for a hardcore actual script kind of thing, then Trelby is a good start. It's free, that's really the only reason I recommend it.
If you're going more hardcore and you're willing to pay, then Celtx is pretty cool too. But it's a monthly subscription that's more costly than Netflix. And if it's more than Netflix, it's a no-no for me.
Then there's google docs and microsoft word.
If you were talking about scripts as in code, then Visual Studio 2017 is my Go-To because they're really all the same to me.
P.S. Sorry I couldn't give links. I wasn't allowed to.
Yeah, google docs and word are pretty crap if you're looking for that format. Possible, but really not great. I'm pretty sure he's not here for super high-production film-making. But if he is, good on him. And good luck. If you're just making youtube videos, don't do the formatting. It's not worth it. At all. I used to, and I stopped. It was just a waste of time, at least for me.I had celtx before. I don't remember paying for a monthly subscription fee either. In fact first result on google for the search "celtx" says it's free.
You never might know where your craft will develop.

When I used Celtx, they kicked me out after my free trial was done, but maybe they stopped doing that. It has been a year since I've used it.
