ScreenWeaver

ScreenWeaver is a screenplay editor and visual-planning workspace for writers and filmmakers. It suits creators who want to develop a script and map its shots together. For now, it is a writing and storyboarding tool: video production is unavailable during beta.

Overview

The screenplay editor combines standard formatting with visual outlining, beat editing, notes, photos, audio and an AI researcher. Rewriting tools and PDF and FDX exports make it useful for drafting and handing scripts off in familiar formats. Its broader production pitch reaches beyond writing, but that promise currently stops at storyboards.

ScreenWeaver can be installed from a browser and used offline, with work syncing after reconnection. That is practical for writing away from a reliable connection, though it does not change the beta limit on video generation.

Key features

Script to shot breakdown

The platform generates shot breakdowns from a screenplay, with controls for frame, angle, movement and duration. Frames can be linked to scenes and beats, giving writers a way to connect script structure to visual planning rather than managing those tasks separately.

Continuity and models

Characters, sets and references can carry from shot to shot to help maintain visual identity. ScreenWeaver describes itself as compatible with Seedance, Veo, Sora and Kling, while its homepage names Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 as its power source. This breadth may appeal to creators planning around different generation models, but actual video production is not available during beta.

Privacy and security

Projects are private and are not published or shared without permission. User content is not used to train proprietary models unless explicitly stated, and is not sold or licensed to third parties for AI training. Outerframe Studio says it follows GDPR and uses encryption in transit, access controls, infrastructure security practices, monitoring and logging. Its service providers include hosting, payment processing, analytics, monitoring and customer support companies.

Pricing

The Screenwriter plan is free forever, with unlimited projects and pages plus PDF and Final Draft export. It is the clear fit for writers who need a script editor and exports without a subscription; it does not include the paid storyboard workspace.

Storyboard Beta costs $9.99 per month while in beta. It adds a storyboard workspace, storyboard generation and frames linked to scenes and beats. This suits writers ready to pay for visual planning now, but the plan is explicitly tied to the beta period, and video generation is not available during that phase. There is no free trial.

The Filmmaker plan has custom pricing, with pricing to be announced soon. It is intended for users seeking storyboard generation, continuity-aware visual planning, research AI, a visual workflow engine and real-time collaboration. No seat or usage quota is stated for these plans, so teams should confirm terms before choosing it.

Platforms

ScreenWeaver supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Browser installation and offline use with later syncing give it a useful option for work across connected and disconnected sessions.

Who it's for

ScreenWeaver is aimed at solo creators, screenwriters, independent filmmakers, studios and teams. The free plan is strongest for script-focused writers; the beta subscription makes more sense for those who want shot planning alongside writing. Filmmakers waiting for a complete script-to-video pipeline should wait until video production becomes available.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited projects and pages on the free Screenwriter plan make it viable for ongoing script work without project caps.
• Pros: Shot controls and scene- and beat-linked frames connect writing with visual planning.
• Pros: Offline use and later syncing support work away from a connection.
• Cons: Video production is unavailable during beta, limiting the product to writing and storyboarding for now.
• Cons: The $9.99-per-month storyboard plan is billed while in beta, so it is not a stated long-term price.
• Cons: The Filmmaker plan has custom pricing, which makes its cost harder to assess before committing.

Verdict

ScreenWeaver is a compelling choice for writers and independent filmmakers who want screenplay development and shot planning in one workspace, especially if offline access matters. The free script plan lowers the barrier to trying its writing tools, while the paid beta tier adds storyboarding. Look elsewhere if video generation is essential now, or if you need clear long-term pricing for a full production workflow.
