short_description: Parse Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain screenplays into JSON

Screenplay Parser — interactive demo

Paste a Fountain-format screenplay or upload a .fdx file. Get structured JSON output with scenes, characters, dialogue counts, and shot estimates.

Built from the open-source library mcqx4/screenplay-parser.

Use cases

• AI pre-production tools — preprocess scripts before feeding to image-generation pipelines
• Script analysis — count scenes, identify main characters, estimate runtime
• Tooling integration — convert legacy .fdx files to JSON for modern workflows

About

This demo and the underlying library are maintained by the team behind STORYLINER, an AI storyboard generator that turns scripts into production-ready storyboards in under 2 minutes with consistent characters across every frame.

If you need full screenplay→storyboard automation, try Storyliner directly. If you just need to parse screenplay files for your own pipeline, this library is open source under MIT.
