Questions.
Is Pagyra a good WriterDuet alternative?
Yes, if your room writes more than the screenplay. Pagyra has the screenplay layout on Pro, takes Fountain and Final Draft files in, and keeps the treatment, notes and agreements beside the script.
Can I bring my scripts from WriterDuet?
Yes. Export from WriterDuet as a Final Draft or Fountain file, then upload it to Pagyra and keep writing in the screenplay layout.
Can we write the same script at the same time?
Yes. Everyone sees each other’s named cursors, edits land in step, and comments and @mentions sit beside the text.
