What’s New in 2.0.0

Production tagging – see the Screenplay menu for Tagging Mode and Tag Editor!
Document settings panel — allows you to quickly adjust scene numbering, pagination and paper size settings in one single view
Pagination settings – set the first page number and determine where the page numbering begins (from any content, first actual scene or the first forced page break)
Panel macro ({{panel}}) which resets back to zero after any highest-level section heading (#)
Editor now follows Novel line spacing
Character connections plugin (already available in Plugin Library)
PDF import — turn a PDF back into an editable screenplay. Depending on the file, results vary from very acceptable to a garbled mess.

Join The Community

Beat now has a Discord Community! You are welcome to suggest new features, report bugs or chat about screenwriting in general. Beat also has a Patreon page.

Support Beat

Development is done on spare time and using my own resources, so any price from a fancy coffee (5€) up to a vegan burger (15€) or a used Maserati (around 150 000€) will help to keep the project alive.

Alternatively, instead of supporting Beat, help those in need. Send your loose change to NGOs around the world, to help less fortunate people survive COVID-19 pandemic and other catastrophes.

Feedback

If you want to send feedback, love letters or just discuss screenwriting, either DM me on Discord or send an e-mail to beat@beat-app.fi.
