Premiere.Studio is a web-based AI screenwriting app for film and television. Its editor formats screenplay elements as writers work, with Tab and Enter cycling through sluglines, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions. The AI can draft or rewrite scenes and script elements, fill story beats, and answer questions based on a script. Rewrites arrive as tracked changes for users to accept or reject. The platform supports live collaboration with presence, inline comments, and version history, and offers draft coverage. Recurring workflows can pitch premises on schedules from daily to monthly; these use AI credits, and capacity depends on the plan. Users can import Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, or PDF scripts and export.fdx, Fountain, or watermark-free PDF. The site says writing is not used to train AI models and scripts remain private to the user and people they choose to share with. AI can be disabled in settings. The free plan includes two projects and collaboration access. Paid plans are monthly per writer and may be canceled at any time.
