TRELBY PDF VS FINAL DRAFT PDF

[easy...@gmail.com]

Hi. My script is 3/4 of the way done. In Final Draft 8 it comes out to 81 pages in the PDF format, and in Trelby it comes out to 71. When marketing a script, does Trelby PDF format qualify as legit?

Thanks,

Eddie

Um -- sure. Trelby format is correct screenplay format.

If you're worried about age count, look under settings and set the page type, and element settings to mimic final draft.

That's because 54 is industry standard lines per page as per Final Draft. 

By default Trelby uses 61. Because it's .5" top margin and A4 paper size

I just adjusted the top margin to 1" and changed the paper size to US LETTER

I ATTACHED THE CONFIG FILE

all you need to do load this file at the script settings>LOAD 

each time you start a new script :)

Thanks for the final draft CONFIG file!! I too had been wondering why my screenplays were coming out shorter with Trelby than they were with Celtx; though admittedly I wish the shorter version was correct as I often write a bit too much.

Thanks again :)

I posted this as a question but I`m trying my luck and post it here as well because it seems related. 
I am trying  to set the character cue indent in the Element settings to 4'' (10 characters = 1 inch so I set it to 40) but then the indent from the left margin is 4.5'' instead of 4'. 
When I export to PDF its even more than that...Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Man, yes, the quality format is legit!
