Final Draft 7 Professional Scriptwriting Win/Mac

from: Final Draft

April 01, 2004
I am a beginning scriptwriter and I found the software easy to use, and undestandable - however, it does on occasion crash, so I put my automatic save at 3 minutes. Also, you have to think twice when saving, because the fdr files can only be edited in Final Draft, so you need to make a rich text backup as well. But, let me tell you if you are looking for a way to save time - this is the product you want to get

Final Draft Scriptwriter's Suite [Final Draft 7 & Final Draft AV2]

from: Final Draft

April 01, 2004
Though I've never sold a screenplay, I keep writing them, keep trying, and my tool is Final Draft. This is an awesome piece of screenwriting software, perfect for a screenwriter wannabe like me. I have been using it for a long time now. The software formats your screenplay for you in proper format, which is invaluable and it saves you oodles of time. It also comes with several other features that help you write the best screenplay you can. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to be a screenwriter, or already is one and worries about formatting.

Final Draft Version 7 Academic Win/Mac

from: Final Draft

June 01, 2007
I'm a writer, here's my story. I bought Final Draft mainly because I felt I needed to upgrade from Microsoft Works or get left behind. Well, I've worked with Final Draft for a while, and to be honest I do not think it was worth the $150.00 dollars + postage. It's very hard to format scripts, especially ones that had been saved in other formats - it adds all these extra spaces and it's terribly time consuming to remove them. Also, it sometimes adds in a character heading when one isn't needed and it's very difficult to get rid of those showing up all the time.
I cannot figure out how to use the Tagger part at all. The most disappointing part for me was that it DOES NOT read the scripts back - it does however save your script in a new format ... Read More:

Final Draft AV 2.5 Win/Mac

from: Final Draft

November 03, 2005
If you're doing AV scripting (TV, particularly), this is a must. It's MUCH easier than struggling with Word columns or templates, and it delivers a very professional looking product.

But there are too many missing or problem features. First, it has an irritating tendency in Windows XP to shut down due to errors. So save...early and often. Then, there doesn't seem to be a zoom function for Windows (there is for Mac), so you're stuck with a full page at a time, which isn't great if your eyes aren't as strong as they used to be. And when it comes to sharing...if the person receiving your script doesn't have Final Draft AV, you'll have to export as a .pdf or a rich text file.

In other words, for as long as this product ... Read More:

Final Draft 5.0 with Syd Field's Screenwriting Workshop Video

from: Final Draft


To see a program work so well is very rare indeed. Looking at Final Draft made me uneasy for the price was so high. But do not, I repeat do not let the price take you away from this program. [the money] is well worth it. The interface is easy and very user friendly. I am not going to go in depth on what it has to offer, because you can just read it for your self at the website (finaldraft.com). If you are looking for easy to use format then this is the place. It is so good I am even thinking using this to type up my school research paper. Get the demo at the website, and buy at Amazon. You truly will not be let down by product this buy.
