Dramatica Pro's Strengths Over Other Story Software:

GENERAL STRENGTHS:

• Dramatica Pro is holistic, which means writers can approach stories from any aspect of character, theme, plot, or genre that they want.

• Dramatica Pro does what no other software program can do:  Based on answers writers give to story questions, it can tell the writers things about their stories that the writers did not tell it.  This is essential when trying to work out story problems.  By answering questions writers know about their stories, Dramatica Pro can indicate how the other parts of the story should fit together in order to support the choices they have made.

• Dramatica Pro is story content and subject matter independent.  This means writers can use it for any genre, medium, and topic.   That is why it is good for screenplays, novels, stage plays, TV shows and series, as well as documentaries and other unexpected uses.

• Dramatica Pro is based on the Dramatica theory of story, which is compatible with many aspects of other popular story paradigms, such as those of Robert McKee, Chris Vogler, Syd Field, Linda Seger, Michael Hauge, John Truby, Dara Marks, Aristotle and others.

• Dramatica Pro is equally useful for story creation as it is for story analysis.

• For serious writers, Dramatica Pro is most comprehensive tool for developing story structure and understanding the inner workings of story available.  
  

• StoryGuide: While most of Dramatic Pro is holistic, the StoryGuide leads writers through the process of creating (or analyzing) a story step-by-step.  The StoryGuide begins with the story's title, moves through creating characters, developing the plot and themes, and ends up with building a step outline of the story.   It has three levels, each level adding depth to the development of the story.

• Structure Templates:  Dramatica Pro comes with three preset structures templates: Screenplay, Novel, and Short Story.  These templates give writers a jump start by having a set of character archetypes and general suggestions for a beat outline of the story included.

• Story Engine: The story engine lets writers make story structure choices and see the effects of those choices on the other parts of the story structure immediately.

• Character Building:  The build characters window lets writers give specific story functions to the players in their story using drag-and-drop.  This allows writers to give structural purpose to their characters, while also controlling their complexity.

• Reports: While developing stories in Dramatica Pro is at least half the benefit, another benefit are its reports.  Dramatica Pro has over two dozen reports that organize the story elements into readable prose.  Some reports focus on character, plot, or theme, while others show an overview of the story's structure and storytelling.  The Treatment report shows a beat outline or treatment, which can be exported directly to Movie Magic Screenwriter or Outline 4D.  All reports may be printed or exported as text.
