Can I import and export Final Draft files?

Yes. Skarvia imports and exports FDX (Final Draft) files, plus Fountain and PDF, so you can move scripts in and out without lock-in.

Does the page count match Final Draft?

Skarvia paginates in true Courier metrics — roughly 55 lines per page with real screenplay indents, (MORE) and (CONT'D) handling — so a page is a page.

Will it write dialogue for me?

No. Skarvia never writes your script. It formats, checks facts and continuity, runs a table read, and surfaces insights — the writing stays yours.

For screenwriters

The whole script department, at your desk.

Industry-standard format with true Courier pagination, FDX in and out, a continuity editor, a fact-checker, and a table read — everything a script needs on the way to the page, except the writing.

Skarv reviewing a page on a lectern — The Script Supervisor

Skarvia never writes a line of your screenplay.
It formats, checks, and remembers — the dialogue is the one thing it won't touch.

On staff

Format that behaves

Tab and Enter flow the way you expect, INT./EXT. sluglines auto-form, and scene numbers toggle on. A title page on its own unnumbered sheet, dual dialogue, rename a character across the whole script, and (MORE)/(CONT'D) handled at the break.

True Courier pagination

Roughly 55 lines a page with real indents, computed live — so your page count means what a production expects it to mean, and a typeset PDF comes out clean.

Final Draft, Fountain & Movie Magic

Import and export Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain, import Movie Magic Screenwriter (.mmsw), plus PDF. Bring your existing scripts in, take them anywhere — no lock-in on your own work.

US and UK television layout

Write to US screen convention, or flip on UK/BBC television style while you draft: boxed scene headings, wider dialogue, extra scene spacing. It is a writing-surface preset, and the typeset PDF prints to US convention either way.

Fact-check and continuity

Period detail checked against the real timeline, with citations; a continuity editor that catches the prop that changed hands or the wound that healed too fast — each finding vetted by a second reviewer before it reaches you.

On staff

Table read on demand

Cast a voice per character and hear the scene read aloud, follow-along highlighting the current line — the fastest way to feel where dialogue drags.

A series that shares a world

Episodes under one show, sharing a single codex, research library, and continuity — because a season is one world, not eight unrelated files.
