  1. Hello, have been watching your video which so helpfully offers a way to make a template on Final Draft for UK stagecraft. However, it is several years old and I am using the latest edition of Final Draft which unfortunately doesn’t list Celtx- which I also used to use and liked!- as a template. Have you an update please?

    1. Hi Gilly,
      Thanks for getting in touch. There is no official Celtx template for Final Draft, which is why I made my own. If you follow the instructions on the video, it should create a template you can save and use for your projects. Does that help?

  2. You’re using Final Draft 9, I’m using version 13, a newer version. On your video, you click ‘new from template’, then ‘scripts’ and a choice comes up which includes “celtx stage play format’ , which you then click on to modify. There is no such drop down choice in version 13. Celtic is not listed there.

    1. Hi Gilly, the choice I make from the dropdown in the video is the template I created – it’s not a standard template provided by FD. So, follow the instructions on the video to set up your own template, and save it as a template so that you can use it in FD13. 👍

  3. Mike , I sent a response and the automated system said it was a duplicate!
    There is no drop down choice of a celtx template to modify in the script section of FD , version 13, the one I have. There is one in version 9 , the older version you are using in your video.
