StudioBinder runs your production — call sheets, shot lists, schedules. Arqo is where the script gets written. Export FDX from StudioBinder, draft in a real screenplay editor on every device, and hand it back for production when the page locks.
StudioBinder is built for production. Arqo is built for the screenplay itself — a full editor, not a browser tab bolted onto a production suite. Write here; produce there.
Export FDX from StudioBinder, import to Arqo, write. When the draft locks, export FDX back for breakdowns, shot lists, and scheduling. The script stays clean across the round-trip.
StudioBinder's script editor lives in the browser. Arqo is a native editor on iOS and Android plus the web — the same script, the same features, on the device in your hand.
Character index, location index, the through-line — surfaced on request. Arqo Assist answers questions about your script; it does not write it for you.
In StudioBinder: open the script → Export → Final Draft (.fdx). PDF works too if you only need a read-only copy.
Scripts → Import → drop the .fdx. Scenes, characters, and elements land in place.
Full editor on desktop, web, and phone. Story Memory keeps your continuity straight as the pages grow.
When the draft locks, export FDX back to StudioBinder for breakdowns, shot lists, and call sheets.
No — that's production, and it's StudioBinder's lane, not Arqo's. Arqo is the writing studio. Export FDX to StudioBinder when you reach breakdowns and scheduling.
No. Arqo imports the screenplay itself via FDX — scenes, characters, elements — not StudioBinder's production tags or breakdown data. Those stay where they belong.
Yes — that's the recommended flow. Draft and revise in Arqo on any device, then export FDX back to StudioBinder for production. Round-trip both directions as the script changes.
Because a browser tab inside a production suite isn't built for the long haul of a draft. Arqo gives you a real editor, offline-friendly mobile apps, and a memory layer for continuity — then gets out of the way for production.
Live co-editing ships Q4 2026 with the Max tier. Until then, hand off via FDX or PDF — the same way you already move scripts between writing and production.
Two scripts on Free. Full editor. Full export. Bring your FDX, see how it lands.
