Sidesy export results showing screenplay scenes sorted and named for production

The work

From script to set.
Fewer manual steps.

01

Split scripts into production-ready sides

Detect sequence boundaries automatically, preview every output name, then export clean, correctly sorted PDFs.

02

Prepare sides for every character

Filter the scenes where a character appears, highlight their dialogue and deliver only what they need.

03

Compare screenplay versions

Find added, changed and removed scenes, then create a clearly marked revision PDF for the crew.

04

Merge, reorder and protect PDFs

Combine documents, add watermarks and production stamps, or protect the result with a password.

05

Name files your way

Build reliable file names with sequence, episode, title, version and date tokens. Finder stays tidy by default.

06

Work straight from Finder

Use a Finder Quick Action for recurring jobs without interrupting the rest of your production workflow.

Bring the script

the interesting part.

The practical bit

macOS 13 Ventura
or later.

Scanned, image-only PDFs need OCR before Sidesy can read them.
