Story Discontinued...

This is not a good look for Adobe. Yes there are other screenwriting programs such as Finaldraft and Screenwriter, but Adobe missed a chance to integrate all facets of the creative process with Sy. Perhaps better marketing and more listening to from the people who actually use the program. Our feedback would have been essential to the success of the program. We could have helped Adobe improve on what they had with Sy, if they would have listened to our suggestions. Oh well, back to Screenwriter it is.

I too used Story often. But then I always use OnLocation for location shoots. The scopes and note section is very helpful. I have an old Win 7 Laptop I take on shoots.

The various reports were a help, and just the ability to keep the script in with other production documents and be able to search by character or prop was a great perk.

Just followed the instructions for submitting a feature provided by ​ProDesignTools above but had the same result as Screenway Media has reported. Anyone know of another way to get hold of the Adobe Story team directly?

Clicked on the link you supplied namely http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and it took me back to the Adobe Story Forum window. Selecting either "File a Bug Report" or "Submit a Feature" has a redirect to the original page. The functionality works for other products but not for Adobe Story.

So how could Adobe see this thread? 

Any ideas??

In a different thread, I wrote about some of the ways the product COULD have tied into the video production suite, honestly, ways I assumed it would eventually.  I'm just gonna do a little copy and paste action here:

• I, for one, was hoping Story would find integration into the post workflow, through Prelude (if I ever figure out what that's for), Premiere, and After Effects.  At one point in time Avid Media Composer allowed you to tag clips in a bin to a script, so you could literally look through a script and see, "these 2/8th of a page are covered by all these clips here, and the reaction covers this stuff over here."  That's a great integration that one might hope for.
• What about A/V scripts with cells?  You could use a cell like a bin, tossing clips/sequences into cells.  Hell, why not let a script actually assemble a multiclip sequence for you?
• Also, imagine looking at a script in your screenwriting software, and it's dynamic-linked to Premiere, so you can scrub through the current cut by reading the script.  You can see where holes in the sequence are.  This would be pretty sweet in an animation workflow, where sequences are assembled in all sorts of orders.

I'm not a software engineer.  My coding expertise is limited to the long-defunct lingo language of macromedia Director, some light actionScript and MAXscript, so, grains of salt, but I can't imagine that Story could have been as deeply complex a program to maintain as Premiere.  The HTML5 roll-out was so bungled, I think we all sort of realized that Adobe was going to abandon a frankly pretty solid tool. 

In my own work, I use Story because I can access my scripts anywhere, I don't have to worry about google Drive's directory structure and my own folder structure on laptops and desktops and on client computers.  No worrying about uploading or downloading.  And most importantly, my collaborators can also access and edit and comment on scripts, without the constant file-attachment ping-pong that happens with an .fdx.  I'm a professional cinematographer and editor, but I write my own stuff from time to time.  I'm not going to pay for a subscription to Celtx because I'm not getting paid to write, nine times out of ten.  And as mentioned, emailing fdx docs back and forth, or constantly uploading or downloading the docs is a mess. 

I guess what I'm saying is: if Adobe doesn't want to continue Story, will y'all sell it to me, and I'll be the publisher or whatever?

Very disappointed they are killing Story. It is a great program and needs to stay!

I'm a daily user of many adobe products (premiere, after effects, photoshop, illustrator, lightroom, audition, story) and was really sad to hear about this. I can't say I'm surprised, but I do think they should reconsider. As I've started script writing again in the last few months I have engaged with a lot of people unhappy with final draft and other options, and when I show them story they're really intrigued.

Please Adobe, keep Story alive!

It really is a shame to see it gone. I seem to remember an Adobe representative talking about aiming for a complete pre-to-post solution some time ago, but it looks like they are shying away from the idea. I used Story for a while, but when the updates stopped flowing and as time passed and I saw it was still not available as a standard CC app, I pulled away, worrying that my work would be lost.

The application was not perfect. But it was also very new, and if it had been incorporated into the pipeline better, I would've stuck to it for sure. I fear this is a case of Adobe not believing in their own products.

For what it's worth, if Adobe was willing to stand by it's product, I'd give it another shot.

Could I maybe ask each of those who have contributed to this thread if they know of others who use Adobe Story could they contact them and invite them to make comment here to (if they are so minded)?  I hope Glaustin thats okay with you seeing as how it was you who started the thread?

Having now researched many other scriptwriting software packages I have concluded that Adobe Story is the best value with the most valued facilities. I know FD now has Story Maps and Beat Boards which look good but its online collaboration seems antiquated and time consuming. Adobe Story could become the market leader with a bit of resource and commitment from Adobe.

It's ridiculous! I chose Adobe Story over other software and now I'm (we're) left scrambling. I should've seen the writing on the wall when we could no longer save files in a Final Draft format. Don't get rid of it; instead correct some of the issues previously mentioned and advertise it as an alternative for other writers. It was great product that was never given the fair shot.
