Continuity Tracking Software, Checked Against Your Script
Continuity errors are expensive to fix once you're in the edit — or impossible, if a reshoot isn't an option. The Story Maker's continuity tools check your script and production notes for inconsistencies — wardrobe, props, timeline, dialogue — at the screenplay level and the scene-by-scene shooting level.

Nothing changes until you Merge
Every edit opens an A/B compare — nothing changes your scene until you Merge.
Your script is never used to train AI
Zero Data Retention on every model — your script is never used to train AI. Zero Data Retention means the model providers we send your pages to are contractually barred from storing them: your script is processed to produce your result and then it is gone from their side. Read the policy.
You stay the author
These tools read your script and tell you what they found. Where they suggest a change, it arrives as a proposal beside your original, never in place of it.
Your work stays yours, and you can delete it
Your projects stay in your account for as long as you use it. An account left completely inactive for 2 years is notified before anything is removed, and you can delete a project or your whole account at any time. Full terms in the privacy policy.
What “A/B compare” means in practice
- Character Voice
- “Rewrites only this character's dialogue — action and other characters stay untouched.”
- Alternate Takes
- “Two contrasting rewrites of this scene, compared side-by-side — pick one, or blend the best of both.”
Both quoted from the editor itself. Every suggestion lands next to your original with a Merge button; declining it leaves the scene exactly as you wrote it.
What's included
Two layers of continuity checking
Screenplay Continuity Mix checks your script itself for internal consistency before you shoot — a character's eye color, a prop that appears in the wrong scene, a timeline that doesn't add up. Scene Continuity Check works during production, flagging inconsistencies across takes and shoot days.
What continuity failure actually costs
Continuity errors are cheap to prevent and expensive to fix. A prop that changes hands between angles, a costume that is wrong for the story day, a wound that heals across a cut — none of it is visible on the day, and all of it surfaces in the edit when reshoots are no longer an option.
Structured notes tied to scenes rather than scattered across a notebook mean the record exists in the form post will actually need: what was established, in which take, on which story day.
Story days, not shoot days
The confusion that produces most continuity errors is that scenes are shot out of order but must be consistent in story order. Scene 4 and scene 52 may be the same story afternoon and shot three weeks apart, and nothing on the call sheet says so.
Because continuity notes sit alongside the breakdown and schedule in the same project, the story-day relationship between scenes stays visible rather than living only in the script supervisor's memory.
Notes that survive the gap to post
Continuity notes are written under pressure on set and read months later by someone who was not there. The failure mode is not that notes are missing — it is that they are unintelligible out of context.
Structuring them against scenes and story days means an editor can find what was established for a given moment without reconstructing the shooting order first. The record is only worth the effort if it is legible to the person who eventually needs it.
What to record, and what not to bother with
Useful continuity notes are specific and sparse. Which hand held the glass, how full it was, whether the jacket was buttoned, what the watch read — details that appear across an edit point and would be noticed if they changed.
Trying to record everything produces notes nobody reads. The practical filter is whether a detail crosses a cut: if two angles will sit next to each other in the edit, it matters; if it only ever appears in one shot, it usually does not.
Working across a fragmented schedule
The reason continuity is hard is that the shoot is fragmented and the story is not. A conversation may be covered over two days, an emotional throughline may be shot in reverse order, and a story afternoon may span three shooting weeks.
Notes anchored to story days rather than shoot days are what let the script supervisor answer the question that actually gets asked on set: what was established last time we were in this scene, and when was that?
Frequently asked questions
Can continuity checking catch script-level errors, not just on-set ones?
Yes — Screenplay Continuity Mix checks your script itself for internal consistency, separately from the on-set Scene Continuity Check used during production.
What kind of continuity errors does this actually catch?
Wardrobe and prop consistency, timeline and dialogue continuity, and other detail-level inconsistencies that are easy to miss reading a script scene by scene.
Does this replace a script supervisor?
No. Someone still has to watch the take and notice that the glass moved. This is where the notes live and how they stay connected to the scenes and story days they describe.
What does post get out of it?
A structured record of what was established where, which is what an editor needs when two takes disagree and someone has to decide which one the film committed to.
Can continuity notes be exported?
Yes — they export to PDF alongside the rest of the production documents rather than being locked in the platform.
Who actually uses these notes later?
Primarily the editor and post team, when two takes disagree and someone has to decide what the film committed to. Notes tied to scenes and story days are findable months later; a notebook usually is not.
How detailed should continuity notes be?
Detailed enough that someone who was not there can use them, sparse enough that they get written during an actual shoot day. The practical filter is whether a detail crosses a cut — if two angles will sit next to each other in the edit, record it.
Do these notes help with reshoots?
Yes, and that is often when they matter most. A reshoot months later has to match what was established, and the notes are usually the only reliable record of what that was.
