Product Overview
What is Laper?
Laper is a screenwriting platform built around a single editable screenplay. It automates industry-standard script formatting, turns screenplay content into structured scenes, characters, locations, and beats, and provides contextual writing and analysis tools. Writers, directors, and producers can collaborate on the same project while connecting scripts with storyboards, visual references, and pre-production assets.
Key Features
Automatic Screenplay Formatting
Formats scene headings, action, dialogue, character cues, parentheticals, transitions, and pagination while supporting Hollywood and Asian screenplay layouts.
Contextual Script Assistance
Lets users analyze or revise a selected scene, script range, outline, character, beat, or broader draft context instead of relying on generic chat prompts.
Script Doctor
Reviews story structure, pacing, character motivation, conflict, theme, and scene-level issues to support targeted revisions.
Structured Story Planning
Derives scenes, characters, and locations directly from the screenplay, then organizes them through outlines, cards, tables, relationship graphs, and planning boards.
Collaborative Production Workspace
Keeps writers, directors, and producers aligned through real-time collaboration, version history, saved revisions, and shared project data.
Storyboard and Visual Assets
Generates and organizes character portraits, location references, props, scene stills, shot structures, and storyboard frames alongside the relevant script content.
Use Cases
- Screenplay Drafting : Screenwriters can write scripts in proper format without manually managing technical screenplay conventions.
- Script Revision : Writers can inspect specific scenes or the wider draft to identify pacing problems, weak motivations, missing story beats, and revision priorities.
- Writers' Room Collaboration : Writing teams can develop, review, and revise a shared screenplay while preserving one synchronized project source.
- Pre-Production Planning : Directors and producers can turn script-derived scenes, characters, locations, beats, and props into practical planning materials.
- Storyboard Development : Filmmakers can transform selected scenes into shot concepts and storyboard frames while retaining the original screenplay as context.
- Script Study and Remixing : Writers can publish approved scripts for reading and discussion, or copy eligible public projects into a private workspace for authorized adaptation.
