CONTINUITY

Every continuity break, before it costs a shoot day

A screenplay continuity check reads your script the way a script supervisor would: as a set of facts that have to stay true across 121 pages. It auto-detects what is in each scene — INT or EXT, location, time of day, and which characters are present — then reports what contradicts what, with a severity and a specific fix.

Continuity errors are cheap to fix on the page and expensive to fix on the day. This is the pass that moves them from the second column to the first.

Before you upload anything

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 it catches

  • A prop planted early and never paid off — in the sample, a ring on a chain introduced on page 18 that the script never returns to, flagged Critical with a suggested payoff moment.
  • Timeline contradictions — in the sample, a character travelling between locations in a span that the surrounding scenes rule out, flagged Critical with a re-sequencing suggestion.
  • Object-state drift — in the sample, a vehicle whose state is inconsistent across scenes 11 to 17, flagged Warning.
  • Scene elements detected automatically: INT/EXT, location, time of day, and the characters present.
  • A score out of 10 for the scene under analysis — the sample scene scored 4.3.
  • Severity tagging so you can triage: Critical in red, Warning in amber.
  • A strengths section, so a pass is not only a list of faults — what the scene already does well, with scene and page references.

Diagnosis that hands off to a fix

The panel ends by telling you where to go: rewrite the affected dialogue in Polish, or fix the action lines directly in Edit. That handoff is the point. A continuity report you have to re-find in your script is a to-do list; one that opens the scene it is talking about is a workflow.

Every issue names the scene and page it concerns, and proposes something specific — a payoff moment for the planted prop, a re-sequencing for the broken timeline — rather than reporting that a problem exists.

Where this connects to the shoot

Continuity is the first analysis that is really a production document. The same parsed script populates the script breakdown, and the scene metrics export carries INT/EXT, time of day and stunt, vehicle, animal and crowd flags into scheduling.

A vehicle-state inconsistency across scenes 11 to 17 is a story note on Monday and a problem for the 1st AD in week three. Catching it while it is still a story note is the whole argument for reading the script this way.

One feature, one page

Scene Continuity Check and Screenplay Continuity Mix are the same feature under two names. There is one continuity pass, and this is its page.

What a continuity check does not do

  • It is not on-set continuity. It reads the script, not your dailies, and it does not know that the actor's shirt was blue on Tuesday.
  • It does not catch every break. It catches contradictions expressible in the text — props, timeline, character presence, object state — and a deliberate ambiguity can read as an error.
  • It does not fix anything by itself. It names the scene and proposes the change; applying it is a separate action in the editor.
  • The continuity and contradiction passes that check against your project's own facts run on the Premium tier. Fast and Standard do not include them.

Continuity and contradiction passes run on Premium (800 credits). Every generation shows its credit cost before it runs, and a failed generation refunds automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of continuity errors does it find?

Contradictions the script itself contains: props introduced and never paid off, timelines that the surrounding scenes rule out, object and vehicle states that drift between scenes, and characters present where they should not be. Each is tagged Critical or Warning and carries a suggested fix naming the scene and page.

Is this the same as Screenplay Continuity Mix?

Yes. Scene Continuity Check and Screenplay Continuity Mix are the same feature; there is one continuity pass and this is it.

Does it replace a script supervisor?

No. A script supervisor works on set against what was actually shot. This works on the page, before anyone is on set, and its value is that page fixes are cheap and set fixes are not.

Which tier do I need?

The continuity and contradiction passes that check against your project's own canon run on Premium. Fast and Standard cover the rest of the analysis but not those passes.

Will my script be used to train AI?

No. Zero Data Retention is enabled on every model used; your material is never used to train, fine-tune or improve any foundation model. See section 3.1 of the privacy policy.

Can it check a script written in Telugu or Marathi?

Yes. Continuity analysis is generated in the language of the script, across 17 supported languages.
