See How All the Pieces Fit Together
StoryView is the only writing tool that lets you create the elements of your story and arrange them on a timeline. You see what pieces make up your story, as well as how much time (movies, TV, events) or how many pages (novels, other stories) each piece occupies. Zoom back for a full panorama of your entire story and "see the forest for the trees," or zoom in to focus on the smallest detail.
Take spontaneous ideas and place them at any point in your story's timeline - even if you don't know what comes before or after that piece! You add the building blocks of your story in any order and immediately see any gaps!
Limitless Space for Your Big Ideas
StoryView lets you create virtual index cards that contain unlimited text. Create items that range from a few words up to hundreds of pages. Story elements are easily manipulated and rearranged, regardless of their length.
Track Important Aspects of Your Story
Visually track almost any kind of information in your story, such as character and thematic development, plot twists-virtually any throughline or element. StoryView can even search your writing for specific keywords and make connections automatically as you write!
Click a button and StoryView displays only those portions of your story that are connected to selected tracks. You instantly see where specific characters or concepts appear in your story. It's the ultimate way to get an overview of your writing!
Outline Window - New in StoryView 2.0!
Version 2.0 introduces an entirely new way to compose and view your story: The Outline window. The Outline window provides a familiar word processor interface which lets you work with text in a familiar vertical (top-to-bottom) manner, similar to other outliners. Writing in the Outline window is easy! You can create and edit events, promote or demote them (change their indent in the outline), move them around the outline, and selectively hide or show portions of the outline. Get to know the basic features and you’ll be an outlining pro.
Print an Impressive Map of Your Story
StoryView lets you print an impressive map of your story. You decide how many pieces of paper you want your story to fit on-from a single sheet to several sheets, depicting the timeline of your entire story. You can even print your story's timeline on a large, continuous sheet of paper using a large format printer (usually available at larger copy centers). StoryView also prints standard reports that show the text of your story in outline or standard text form.
Visualize and Outline Using any Structuring Method
StoryView's hierarchies let you organize your story from the broadest strokes down to the smallest detail. You can visualize structure using almost any writing system developed. Levels, tracks and event names are completely configurable by you, making it easy to take the methods of your favorite writing instructor and build templates from which to develop your story.
Connect to Other Powerful Writing Tools
StoryView is designed to work with Microsoft Word, Dramatica Pro, Dramatica Writer's DreamKit, and Movie Magic Screenwriter. Dramatica users can quickly import a Dramatica story file, making the initial writing, illustrating and weaving of your story a snap! For the screenwriter or playwright, StoryView can take your story text and-with the click of one button-export it to Movie Magic Screenwriter, the most powerful screenplay word processor available. Within seconds your script is automatically paginated according to professional screenplay standards, ready to print and distribute to readers.
You've longed for a better way to plan your story. So put away those index cards, that legal pad and those hand-made charts. StoryView will do all of that for you-and more.
