Professional tools for serious writers.

Radial Timeline's Signature tier unlocks advanced capabilities designed for professional workflows: runtime estimation, premium exports, campaign tools for Author Progress Reports, and specialized Chronologue visualization modes.

Early Access: During the Open Beta, all Pro features are available free to early adopters. Your feedback shapes the future of Radial Timeline. When paid licensing launches, early supporters may receive special perks.

Runtime Estimation

Runtime Estimator modal with mode selection and progress
Runtime Estimator — select mode and scope for duration analysis

Estimate screen time, audiobook duration, and manuscript length with precision.

Runtime Estimation analyzes your scenes to calculate realistic duration estimates for different content types. Create multiple profiles for different projects or formats.

Capabilities:

  • Screenplay mode — Separates dialogue and action line pacing, with parenthetical timing for (beat), (pause), (long pause), (a moment), and (silence)
  • Novel/Audiobook mode — Unified narration pace calculation for prose content
  • Custom word rates — Fine-tune words-per-minute for dialogue, action, and narration
  • Session planning — Track drafting speed and daily writing minutes for completion projections
  • Scene hover metadata — Runtime estimates appear in scene hover tooltips
  • Chronologue integration — Duration arcs visualize scene length in the timeline

Explicit duration patterns are always parsed when found in your scene content:

  • (30 seconds) or (30s)
  • (2 minutes) or (2m)
  • (runtime: 3m)
  • (allow 5 minutes) — for demos, podcasts, presentations

Settings: Settings#runtime-estimation

Campaign Manager and Teaser Reveal

Run multiple Author Progress Report (APR) campaigns and reveal your timeline over time.

Campaign Manager lets you manage multiple APR configurations for different platforms (Kickstarter, Patreon, newsletter, website) with independent schedules and export targets. Teaser Reveal adds a progressive reveal system that exposes more detail as your completion percentage rises.

Capabilities:

  • Multiple campaigns - Separate refresh schedules, export sizes, and embed paths per platform
  • Update frequency - Manual, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly auto-updates
  • Refresh alerts - Custom reminder thresholds for manual campaigns
  • Manual reveal options - Toggle acts, subplots, status colors, and percent display when Teaser Reveal is disabled
  • Teaser Reveal presets - Slow (15/40/70), Standard (10/30/60), Fast (5/20/45), or custom thresholds

Settings: Settings#social-media

Chronologue Runtime Sub-mode

Visualize scene duration in the chronological timeline.

The Runtime sub-mode is one of three sub-modes within Chronologue mode. It replaces elapsed story time with runtime duration arcs. Toggle it using the RT button in Chronologue mode.

Features:

  • Blue wireframe overlay — Distinct from the Shift sub-mode (gray) and Alt sub-mode (red)
  • Duration arcs — Arc length represents estimated runtime, not story elapsed time
  • Runtime cap slider — Adjust the maximum arc size to emphasize shorter or longer scenes
  • Scene selection — Click scenes to compare their runtime visually

Usage:

  1. Enable Runtime Estimation in Settings → Pro
  2. Switch to Chronologue mode (keyboard 3)
  3. Click the RT button to enter the Runtime sub-mode
  4. Adjust the cap slider to tune visualization
