Title page#

The cover page of your screenplay — title, author, contact details, and an optional cover image — laid out the industry-standard way.

Click Title Page in your project's sidebar to open it.

Filling in the fields#

The page opens in a read-only preview. Click Edit in the header to fill in the fields. There's no Save button: each change saves itself a couple of seconds after you stop typing. Click Done to return to the preview.

The fields you can fill in:

  • Title — the name of your screenplay.
  • Credit — the credit line (for example, Written by or Screenplay by).
  • Author — your name.
  • Source — a "based on" line, if your story is adapted from something.
  • Draft Date — the date of this draft.
  • Contact — your contact details, over as many lines as you need.
  • Copyright — a copyright line.
  • Notes — any extra notes for the cover.
  • Revision — a revision marker.

Clearing a field on purpose is respected.

Note: Nabu keeps a backup of your edits on your device while you type. If a save never reaches Nabu, it offers your unsaved words back the next time you open the page.

The preview#

When not editing, the page shows an 8.5 × 11 paper preview of your title page exactly as it'll print. If you add a cast page, it appears as a second sheet.

A cover image#

You can put a picture on the cover instead of the text title:

  • Upload image — add a cover graphic (PNG, JPEG, or WebP).
  • Replace image — swap it for a different one.
  • Remove image — go back to the text title.

A cast page#

Tick Characters page to include a cast list page after the title page in the preview and PDF export. Leave it unticked to skip it.

Undo and redo#

Undo and Redo buttons (Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z) step back and forward through your recent field edits.

Good to know#

  • The title page flows into your exports. When you export as PDF with the Title page switch on, the title block — and the cast page, if turned on — appears on the front of the script. A Final Draft (.fdx) export includes the title block but not the cast page; instead it carries the characters in that script as autocomplete suggestions. A cover added in Nabu exports centred at about 2–3 inches wide, with a short gap above the title. A cover imported from Final Draft keeps its saved size and placement.
  • Updating the title refreshes the app. Changing your screenplay's title here updates the title shown elsewhere in Nabu.
