Some of our users wrote to us that they would want the ability to layout scenes in the structure canvas. Up until 0.4.4 beta, users had to manually place scenes in the structure canvas. With 0.4.5 beta, users can use any of the 4 built in layout engines. Suppose that you have a screenplay with […]

Ever since we had Surya Vasishta join our team as a UI/UX contributor, he has been churning out some amazing ideas for improving the UI of Scrite.
