Useful Links and Resources
From CeltxWiki
This section of useful links and resources was born on the Celtx Forum and compiled as a group effort by our users and staff so that everyone can share 'the knowledge'. Primarily we look for links related to screenwriting, filmmaking, theatre, animation, new media, the industries in general, related technology, or really anything you find useful in getting your job done... whether you are student, amateur or pro.
Like the manual itself, this section is a work in progress with new links being added all the time. So if you have a golden nugget of info that would enhance the collection, please add it to the list. (Note: Main topics are in alphabetical order.)

Essential URLs (Useful Links and Resources)
- File Factory - Great for hosting your PDF generated scripts. Although it's hard to find how to download it for some people.
- OhShare - is a great file host! I recommend using them to host your files on the forum rather than File Factory because it's easier for users to figure out how to download the file.
