== Overview ==
The '''[[Script_Editor|Script Editor]]''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] is the primary workspace for writing, formatting, and editing [[Scripts|scripts]] within a [[Project|Project]].
It combines automatic screenplay formatting, AI-assisted writing, and collaboration features, making it easier to move from text to [[Scenes|scenes]], [[Shots|shots]], and final [[Build_Video|videos]].

== Key Features ==
* **Auto-Formatting:** Automatic handling of scene headings (INT./EXT.), character names, and dialogue blocks.
* **AI Assistance:** Expand ideas, rewrite dialogue, or generate alternates with [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]].
* **Color Coding:** Distinguish between acts, scenes, and shots.
* **Split View:** Compare original drafts with AI revisions side by side.
* **Annotations:** Add inline comments for collaboration.
* **Script-to-Timeline:** Drag and drop script blocks directly into [[Timeline_View|Timeline View]].

== Workflow ==
1. Open the [[Editor|Editor Workspace]] and select the Script Editor panel.
2. Draft your script directly or [[Import_Script|import a script]] from Final Draft (FDX), Fountain, or Markdown.
3. Use [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] to generate story arcs, beats, and scene ideas.
4. Assign [[Characters|characters]] and [[Digital_Actors|digital actors]] to dialogue lines.
5. Revise using AI suggestions or manual edits.
6. Lock completed sections with [[Version_Control|Version Control]].
7. Push to [[Timeline_View|Timeline View]] or [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboards]] for visualization.

== Integration ==
* **[[Scripts|Scripts]]** – Central repository of dialogue and action.
* **[[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]]** – Generates beats and rewrites.
* **[[Characters|Characters]] / [[Digital_Actors|Digital Actors]]** – Assign roles directly from the script.
* **[[Timeline_View|Timeline View]]** – Maps script blocks into time-based editing.
* **[[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboards & Panels]]** – Generates panels from script descriptions.
* **[[Export_Script|Export Script]]** – Save in FDX, Fountain, Markdown, or PDF.

== Collaboration ==
* Multiple team members can co-edit scripts in real-time.
* Inline comments support review workflows.
* Locked drafts ensure approved content isn’t overwritten.
* [[Version_History|Version History]] tracks all revisions and contributors.

== Best Practices ==
* Use consistent formatting for clarity.
* Keep dialogue concise for pacing.
* Apply [[Style_Presets|Style Presets]] early for visual consistency in previews.
* Save manual [[Version_History|checkpoints]] before major rewrites.
* Link [[Scenes|scenes]] to [[Set_Design|Sets]] for faster visualization.

== Troubleshooting ==
* **Formatting incorrect** → Convert via [[Import_Script|Import Script]] (Fountain/FDX preferred).
* **AI suggestions missing** → Ensure AI features are enabled in settings.
* **Export not aligned** → Re-export using [[Export_Script|Export Script]] in the correct format.
* **Character mapping broken** → Reassign via [[Characters|Character Management]].

== Example Workflow ==
1. [[AI_Wizard|AI Wizard]] generates a beat sheet.
2. Draft dialogue and action in Script Editor.
3. Assign [[Characters|actors]] and link props.
4. Export via [[Export_Script|Export Script]] for external review.
5. Lock version and send to [[Timeline_View|Timeline]] for editing.
