# 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](https://github.com/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](https://www.storyliner.online), 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.
