For Directors
Scene-by-scene intensity analysis and act structure mapping for any script. Benchmarked against 200+ produced films. Know the structural shape of your material before principal photography.
Structural issues that look like minor pacing notes on the page become expensive problems once you are in production. A scene that does not carry its narrative weight cannot be fixed in the edit.
Reading a screenplay linearly makes it difficult to see the overall intensity shape. Where does tension plateau? Where does the second act lose momentum? These patterns are invisible until you see them mapped.
Describing pacing problems in abstract terms leaves room for disagreement. A structural analysis gives you and your producers a shared, objective reference when discussing what is working and what is not.
Quanten Arc maps the narrative intensity of every scene in the script and places the result against a benchmark of 200+ produced films. You see the shape of the material, not just its content. Act breaks, intensity plateaus, momentum drops, climax build-up: all visible before you schedule a single shooting day. It does not tell you how to direct the film. It tells you what you are working with.
Structural tools that fit into how directors actually prepare for a shoot.
Every scene scored for narrative intensity. See the full arc of the script visualised, so you can locate momentum drops, false peaks, and structural imbalances before you prepare.
Compare the script's structural arc against produced films in the same genre. Understand whether the pacing matches what audiences in this genre expect.
Precise detection of act breaks and turning points. Confirm that the structure lands where it needs to before you commit your schedule around it.
Upload revised drafts alongside earlier versions. See exactly which scenes changed structurally across rewrites so you know whether the revisions solved the problem.
Share a clean structural summary with producers, editors, or your first AD. A common reference point for production discussions without sharing the full script.
The screenplay is deleted from our servers immediately after analysis. We retain only the structural arc data. The script stays with you.
Submit the screenplay. Analysis takes a few minutes.
Receive a scene-by-scene intensity map and act structure breakdown.
Compare the script's arc against produced films in the same genre.
Bring structural data into your conversations before principal photography.
Understand the structural shape of the material before you schedule a single day. Know which scenes carry the most narrative weight and ensure your prep reflects that, not just the production complexity.
Use structural data to ground your notes on unfinished drafts. Replace vague pacing feedback with specific, scene-level observations that writers and producers can act on.
Before you commit to a project, benchmark the script against comparable produced films. Understand the structural gap between the material as it stands and the films it is trying to compete with.
It gives you a scene-level intensity map of the entire script before you step on set. You can see exactly where the structural weight of the film sits, which scenes carry the most narrative load, and where act breaks land in the page count. This is useful for scheduling, for conversations with your editor about the shape of the cut, and for identifying scenes that may need to work harder than they currently do on the page.
Yes. Analysing an early draft is often more useful than waiting for a locked script, because it gives you structural data to bring into development conversations. You can upload multiple drafts as rewrites progress and compare the arcs to confirm the changes are improving the structure.
It shows you the structural arc of films that were produced and released in the same genre, so you can see whether the script you are preparing follows a similar shape or deviates significantly. A thriller that structurally resembles a drama is useful information. A second act that flatlines relative to comparable films tells you something specific about where energy needs to be added.
You can share the analysis result directly via link. They see the same structural arc, act breakdown, and benchmark comparison without accessing the script itself. It gives both parties the same objective reference when discussing pacing, act structure, or the impact of a revision.

PDF and Final Draft (.fdx) files. Standard screenplay formatting produces the most accurate scene-level detection.
