Unlock the Art of the Story.
Modern filmmaking tools have unlocked the miracle of the moving image. Quanten Arc maps narrative intensity scene by scene, benchmarked against 200+ films that moved audiences. Design, test, and refine your story before you generate or shoot a single frame.
What is Quanten Arc?
Quanten Arc is a narrative structure analysis platform built for filmmakers, screenwriters, and production studios. It uses a custom audience model, based on granular data collected from real people, to simulate and map the intensity of every scene in a screenplay. The result is a visual "narrative arc" that reveals how tension builds, peaks, and resolves across an entire film. Every analysis can be compared against a library of 200+ analysed screenplays, from Oscar contenders and Cannes selections to genre-defining blockbusters, so you can see exactly how your story compares to films that moved audiences.
Whether you are writing your first feature or developing a slate of films for a studio, Quanten Arc gives you an objective, data-driven view of your story's pacing and structure. Upload a screenplay in PDF, TXT, or Fountain format and receive a complete scene-by-scene intensity analysis within minutes, including act structure detection, peak identification, and trend analysis. Then compare your arc against any film in the benchmark library to find structural gaps before you commit to production.
Key capabilities include:
- Scene-by-scene intensity scoring driven by a custom audience model, calibrated for genre (action, horror, drama, comedy, thriller, and more)
- Automatic act structure detection that identifies three-act (3-act), five-act (5-act), and unconventional story structures
- Side-by-side and superimposed comparison of multiple narrative arcs
- Rich metadata including cast, crew, genre, ratings, and poster art sourced from a comprehensive movie database
- Interactive charts with trend lines, act markers, and one-click PNG export
- Private screenplay storage where your script is processed and deleted; only the arc analysis is retained
Why Narrative Structure Matters
Something in the structure isn't working. The hard part is knowing exactly where.
Structural problems are felt before they are understood. Feedback describes the symptom: the pacing drags, Act 2 loses momentum, the ending doesn't land. But a symptom is not a location. Without seeing the actual shape of your story, every attempt to fix the structure is a guess.
The films that hold audiences don't just have better ideas. They have better pacing, better tension curves, better decisions about when to build and when to release. Those decisions are visible in the data. They just haven't been accessible until now.
See the shape of your story before it is too late.
Quanten Arc maps narrative intensity scene by scene across 100+ benchmarked films, from Oscar contenders to genre-defining blockbusters. Each film has been analysed for act breaks, climax placement, and pacing rhythm.
Upload your screenplay. Get an objective structural analysis in minutes. Compare your arc against proven films and identify flat spots, missing tension, and premature climaxes before you commit to production.
See how different stories are structured
Analyse them scene by scene, by act and overall narrative arc. The shape of tension is unique to every genre, every story, every filmmaker.
Every story that holds an audience has an intentional shape. This is what Arc maps, measures, and compares.
How it works
From browsing benchmarks to uploading your own work, the full loop runs in minutes.
Study how successful films are structured
Browse narrative arcs across 200+ films including Oscar contenders, genre leaders, and festival winners. See how the stories that actually worked are structured, scene-by-scene. Compare intensity patterns across genres to understand what holds audiences.
Filter by genre, year, or content type. Every film includes rich metadata (cast, director, ratings, and poster art) so you can study the structural choices behind the films you admire most.
Upload your own work
Bring in your screenplay as a PDF, TXT, or Fountain file. Quanten Arc maps your narrative intensity scene-by-scene, benchmarked against successful films. See the shape of your story before you generate. Know where it builds, where it peaks, and where it breaks.
Your screenplay is processed in minutes and immediately deleted from our servers. Only the arc analysis (intensity scores, scene structure, and act breakpoints) is stored in your private account.
Compare and fix structural gaps before production
Overlay your arc against any benchmarked film or view them side-by-side. The dips become visible. The deviations from proven pacing become clear. You have the data to make informed creative choices before you prompt Runway or Kling, not after.
Choose from four comparison modes (superimposed, side-by-side, one-by-one, or composite) and align by scene number or runtime. Create composite arcs from multiple films to design a target pacing template for your project.

Privacy & Fair Use
Your Work Stays Private
When you upload a screenplay, we process it to generate your narrative arc and immediately delete the screenplay file from our servers. We never store your script, never use it to train any models, and never add it to our public library. Only your arc analysis (intensity scores, scene structure) is retained in your account, accessible anytime you log in.
Fair Use & Benchmarks
Our benchmark library is built on analysis of publicly available scripts. We surface original narrative insights; source material is never reproduced. For compliance, only scene summaries are displayed within the platform. Original script content is not shown.
