Adobe Story Free needs a format for American sitcoms, not just UK

Why in the world would you not include a format for American sitcoms in the TV scripts? I have no clue what I'm looking at with the UK script format, what with everything centered and weird looking.

Thanks for the info ... yea, that wouldn't look the same, would it?
As to language ... I've heard a couple different English linguistic historians ... from England ... who are really considered the top experts in their field, talk about language form, syntax, and spoken ... "feel and sound", and there comments had me rolling on the floor. My daughter took a serious English/language class on linguistic history, and says that no matter the hilarity it may induce, the dudes are probably spot-on.
They felt that the Boston area ... particularly a couple rural "parishes" as they put it ... have a far closer native syntax than anything currently in use in England. But for total similarity, get this ... go to the most remote Appalachian villages and hamlets and rural houses in southern West Virginia down through the western tip of Virginia and into nw-North Carolina and far ne-Tennessee, and get the most un-educated, least tv-aware people there, and you've probably got the closest to the way "Midsummer's Night's Dream", "Hamlet", and Willie's other plays actually sounded in first performances at the Globe.
Can you imagine staging "Othello" in the London theatre district with everyone speaking hillbilly-ese?

    There are currently no templates available for stageplays. I'd recommend using Celtx (free) until Adobe adds stageplay templates.

  • Does Adobe Story Free have a Type and template for stageplay format and if so where do I click for it. In the Type button I could only find screenplay, TV script, Two column script, AV script and other, but not for stageplay?

  • Signed up for Adobe Story Free and now my Script is gone?

    I signed up for Adobe Story Free, gave a script a title and wrote a few pages to try it out.  Just went back in to play with it a little more and everything is gone.  The samples of work that were on the template and my work are all missing.  Was this a Beta testing page?  Even when I go to the deleted items, it says failed to establish connection.
    Any ideas/news/answers?

  • No access to Adobe Story Free

    Hi,
    I've been using Adobe Story Free for probably almost a year. As of today, I've been unable to access any of my scripts from the desktop version. The online version, none of my scripts are on there. I've read on the forums that I was suppose to get a reminder that my subscription is going to end soon. I have not received anything saying this and I have lost all my scripts in the process as I was unaware and couldn't export them over.
    I'm a media production student and I use Adobe Story to write my projects. I desperately need my projects back as I need them for my projects for my university work. I don't want to pay for a months subscription for an hour to just simply export them out of Adobe Story. Is there a way to get my projects back without having to pay?
    Many thanks.

    4. Open Adobe Story and try login again.
    Thanks

  • Cannot access Adobe Story Free through any browser.

    Hi,
    I cannot log in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my home PC workstation, however I have no problems logging in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my work PC laptop or any other Mac or PC.
    So I suspect it's not an Adobe CC account issue, but rather a local issue with corrupted settings on my home PC...? I have tried deleting browsing history, cache, cookies etc. but problem still remains in all web browsers.
    I need urgent help to fix this please.

    Home PC Workstation: Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
    Browser Issues: Google Chrome, Firefox, IE - all hanging on a blank page after I sign in with my username and password.

    I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe Flash player...didn't fix the problem.

    ...I can confirm that Flash Player Version 17.0.0.134 is installed successfully on Firefox (V37.0.1) IE (v10.0.9200.17267) & Chrome (v 41.0.2272.118 m)
    ...I can also confirm that "Adobe Flash" is enabled on story.adobe.com (as shown above)
    However I still can't get into Adobe Story.
    I can see this screen:
    Adobe Story | Scriptwriting software
    Then I click on Sign In which takes me to this page:
    Sign in - Adobe ID
    Then when I enter my Adobe CC username and password, the page just hangs (blank white) in Firefox & Chrome, & an error message in IE
    Edit: Here's something new. I can log into Adobe Story Free on Firefox only (using my work Adobe ID = [email protected]) but not using my home Adobe ID. Is there an account issue maybe after all? Still doesn't explain not working in Chrome or IE though.

  • Adobe Story free application install problem

    I have been using Adobe Story Free version for a year but with the most recent automatic update (Dec 2012) the desktop application will not open. Upon clicking the icon for Adobe Story it attempts to take an update but stops with the following message:
    " Sorry, an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Sandeep,  Thank you! Adobe Story is okay now.

  • IPod is formatted for windows but i need it formatted for mac

    i just got my iPod a couple days ago used from best buy and hooked it up from my mac not aware that it was formatted for windows. when i try to restore my iPod it just freezes up my computer. do i really need it formatted for mac in order to get good performance?

    Right. If you restored it in Windows the iPod will still be formatted for Windows.
    Now see if you can restore it on your mac.
    Also, know that Windows-formatted iPods work fine in Mac OS X. The only "problem" is that you cannot update the iPod's software on your mac if another software version is released. You would have to do that through Windows.
    If you plan on using your iPod with both Operating Systems, you may want to keep it formatted for Windows.

  • Adobe story free - chromebook auto-scroll to bottom bug

    The OS used on the Chromebook is a variation of Linux called Kernel.  When using the online version of adobe story free, the page will scroll to the bottom of the script when scrolling the smallest bit. This is using the touchpad and was not tested using and external mouse so that may be the issue.

    This issue was reported in the this thread as well
    Scrolling problem in output window.
    It's logged as bug # 6021950 and the fix would be in the next release.

  • Bug SDK-17114  flex.effects.Rotate - Selection Glow Is Rotated For All Objects (Not Just Effect.Target)

    Re: Bug SDK-17114 flex.effects.Rotate - Selection Glow Is
    Rotated For All Objects (Not Just Effect.Target) at
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-17114.
    Looks like this bug was fixed as of yesterday - I'd like to know
    when there will be a patch available to users. I bought Flex 3 just
    in the last few weeks, so it would be nice if I could get a free
    patch. However, my main concern is how to do a workaround. I can't
    deliver my application with this problem, and if the patch is not
    available, I don't have an alternative. Is there a way to access
    the selection rectangle object and set its rotation
    explicitly?

    Thanks, Michel.
    I forgot to mention one point about copying shape layers into one shape layer:  when you initially use the Shape Selection tool to select a shape for cutting, make sure the option for the Shape Selection tool is set to "Add to Selection".
