AI can help with brainstorming, structure, dialogue, and analysis — but you should write the actual script. Think of AI as a writers' room partner that's always available for feedback and ideas.
Industry standard is 12pt Courier, specific margins, and proper scene headings. AI can help format your script, but dedicated screenwriting software like Final Draft or free alternatives work best.
Feature films: 90-120 pages (1 page ≈ 1 minute). TV dramas: 50-60 pages. TV comedies: 22-35 pages. Shorts: under 40 pages. AI can help you trim or expand to hit targets.
