Break scene 3 of The Yellow Umbrella into a shot list I can shoot with one camera, and put it in my storyboard.
  • get_scene · scene 3 read
  • create_shots · 5 shots created in scene 3
  • list_shots · timeline checked
Scene 3 now has 5 shots: a wide on the crossing, two singles, an insert on the umbrella and a slow push in to close. Each one has its framing, camera and duration.

Why connect

ChatGPT drafts fast. Your script needs a home.

On its own, ChatGPT gives you text in a chat that you copy, paste and reformat. With ScreenWeaver connected, the same work goes into your screenplay, where it stays formatted, versioned and linked to your storyboard.

ChatGPT can still brainstorm and draft on its own. The connector changes where the result lives.

Prompts to try

Six things to ask ChatGPT today

Copy a prompt, change the project and scene names, and send it with ScreenWeaver selected.

  • Send a draft to your project

    Take the scene we just wrote and add it at the end of my ScreenWeaver project The Yellow Umbrella, with proper scene heading, cues and dialogue.

  • Import a Final Draft file

    Import the Final Draft file I’m pasting into my project. Show me the preview first and ask me before linking any name that looks like an existing character.

  • Coverage for one camera

    Read scene 4 and create the storyboard shots for a one-camera, handheld shoot. Keep each shot under six seconds.

  • Tighten a scene

    Read scene 9 and cut it by a third without losing a story beat. Show me the new version and wait for my go before you edit.

  • Find every line

    Search the script for every line Seo-yeon says about her father and list them with their scene numbers.

  • Fix the camera

    In scene 3, make the second shot a close-up with a slow push in, and give it two more seconds.

Script

ChatGPT’s scenes arrive formatted

Scene headings, action, cues, parentheticals and dialogue keep their types. Character names and places link to your story elements, and missing ones are created for you.
  • Import preview before anything is written
  • Similar names flagged, like TOBY and TOBIAS
  • Version History before each change

  • Continuous shots chained together
  • Collaborators see every change live

Guides and tools

FAQ

Screenwriting with ChatGPT

Can ChatGPT write a screenplay?
ChatGPT can draft, rewrite and critique scenes. With ScreenWeaver connected, it writes them straight into a real screenplay, in industry format, instead of leaving you text to copy and paste.
Which ChatGPT plan do I need?
Adding a custom app goes through ChatGPT’s Developer mode, and the plans that include it change over time. OpenAI’s help center has the current list.
Does it cost ScreenWeaver credits?
Access to the MCP is reserved for accounts with credits, included in the Auteur and Studio plans. Using the tools spends nothing: they read and write your script and shot list, and none of them consumes credits.
Will ChatGPT change my script without asking?
ChatGPT edits what you ask it to edit. Deleting lines or replacing the whole script needs your explicit confirmation, and the version before every change is saved in History.
Can ChatGPT generate my storyboard images?
Not through the connector yet. ChatGPT can create and adjust the shots: action, framing, camera, duration. Image and video generation stay in the ScreenWeaver app for now.
What does ScreenWeaver record about my conversation?
ScreenWeaver logs which tool was called and when, never your prompts or your script text. What ChatGPT keeps from the conversation depends on your ChatGPT settings.
Who owns the script?
You do. Your projects are private to you and the people you share them with, and you can disconnect ChatGPT at any time in Connected apps.
