Script formats a board tool reads
A script format is the file layout a screenplay is written in: Final Draft's FDX, the plain-text Fountain, PDF, Word or pasted text. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Board tools read scene headings, action lines and dialogue to decide where shots break, so a cleanly formatted script boards more predictably.
Some tools accept a one-line brief instead of a script and write the scenes themselves.

A script is read once per project; switching affects later tasks such as a storyboard.
