This software specializes in screenwriting for film, TV, and theater.
As a software designed specifically for writers of movie scripts, television episodics, and stage plays, Final Draft has established itself as the most popular word processor in this niche. Combining powerful word processing with professional script formatting, Final Draft is a self-contained, easy-to-use package that eliminates the need to learn about script formatting rules. The software automatically formats and paginates the script to industry standards as the writer focuses on the content.
One of the key features of Final Draft is that it is 100% cross-platform. Scripts created on Windows and Macintosh platforms are identical and can easily be exchanged between both. Import/export files from any word processor can be done easily, eliminating the need to type the script again. Multiple file formats (including PDF) can be exported to enable secure sharing of scripts.
Final Draft is the only scriptwriting software that has an authorized agreement with the WGAW online registry service. The software can handle production functions such as scene numbering, A and B pages, multiple revisions, character sides, and specialized reports with ease. The Tagger application enables the breakdown of Final Draft scripts into their various elements, making it easier to export them into any scheduling software.
The software includes over 50 templates for various television shows, movies, and stage plays, complete with characters and locations. The format assistant checks scripts for common formatting errors such as missing dialogue, extra spaces, carriage returns, and blank elements. Scriptnotes allows the user to jot down ideas, notes, suggestions, or scene fragments in pop-up windows without taking up space on the screen.
Final Draft's CollaboWriter feature enables users to write, edit, and discuss a script in real-time with other Final Draft users anywhere in the world. The text to speech feature allows users to assign different voices to characters, enabling the script to be read back to them.
In conclusion, Final Draft is an essential tool for writers of movie scripts, television episodics, and stage plays as it combines powerful word processing with professional script formatting in one self-contained, easy-to-use package.
