Description FADE IN: If you have ever dreamed of
writing for movies, television or theater, or if you have tried to write using
conventional word processors, chances are you've been frustrated by all the
formatting rules and standards dictated by the entertainment industry. Scene
numbers, MORE's and CONTINUED's and industry-standard pagination, to name a
few, can quickly become too difficult for a normal word processor to handle.
CUT TO: Final Draft, the number-one choice among Hollywood's
professional writers. Specifically designed for writing movie scripts, TV
episodes and stage plays, it combines powerful word processing with
professional script formatting in one self-contained, easy-to-use package.
There is no need to learn about script formatting rules -- Final Draft
automatically paginates and formats your script to industry standards as you
write. Use your creative energy to focus on the content; let Final Draft take
care of the style.
DISSOLVE TO: Final Draft's interface, which
is so easy to understand and operate that you will be up and writing in almost
no time. There are no style sheets to build, no complicated commands to learn.
For the beginning writer, the built-in settings will make even your first
script look professional. For the working writer, producer or director, Final
Draft is packed with powerful features geared for the rigors of
production.
If you have put off taking the plunge and putting your
million-dollar idea on paper, or if you have been struggling to write with
inadequate tools, now is the time to act. Join the tens of thousands of others
who have seen how Final Draft can spur creativity and bring your writing dreams
back to life.
FADE TO BLACK.
NEW FEATURES IN 7.0 The next step in the
evolution of screenwriting software. Final Draft is now an even more powerful
writing tool that allows you to write and see your script in a variety of new
ways.
The Panels System Like most writers, you
probably need to keep a lot of things at the front of your mind while
youre writing: How does the Act 3 argument scene youre writing
today connect to the argument scene in Act 1? Where should the first-kiss scene
go? How many scenes are in the chase sequence? What are the plot points in Act
3? Like no other screenwriting program, Final Draft 7 can show you what you
need to see while youre writing.
You can split your screen into
separate panels and view your script pages in one panel and index cards in the
other. If you enable the new Navigator panel [a consolidated, linear,
top-to-bottom list of the Scene Headings] you can simply double-click on a
scene heading and Final Draft will jump to that scene in the script panel.
Or view Page 3 of the script in one panel and Page 66 in another,
side-by-side or stacked for easy viewing.
New Index
Cards For years Final Draft users have relied on the Scene Navigator as
a quick map of their script. Weve kept this tried-and-true tool but added
a whole new dimension of functionality: Now every card has TWO sides and you
can write on one of them! The Script side works just the way youre used
to in Scene Navigator but the Summary side lets you type in development ideas,
notes, sequence or act markers, comments, locations, blocking... anything you
need to build and organize your story. And the text you type into the Summary
Cards will appear as under the Scene Headings in the Navigator, so you can
always see where you are in the story.
To put it simply, brainstorming,
structuring, writing and rewriting your script will be a lot easier when you
have with this comprehensive, interactive overview at your command.
Tagger A new stand-alone application that enables you
to tag elements of a script [cast, costumes, props, etc.] and
export the results into any movie scheduling software. Created with the help of
veteran assistant directors, producers and unit production managers, Tagger
means no more going over a paper script again and again with highlighters.
There's More Weve also improved Final Drafts Cast
List, Revision Header, PDF exporting, the Title Page, CollaboWriter and more.
The Ask the Expert feature with screenwriting guru Syd Field has
been expanded to include expertise from television writer Larry Brody,
playwright Jon Dorf and WGAws The Creative Rights Handbook.

designed for Windows XP ScriptCompare Ability to save in
