I like Final Draft 7 due to the assign voice funtionality. For some reason when I hear my scripts read back to me, I can find flaws better. Final Draft 8 has issues playing the different downloadable voices, but FD 7 plays them just fine.

If you can obtain it -  sophocles.  It's the best, basic, software.  

If you can afford it - movie outline.  It's the most complete.  

I use and love them both for different reasons.  I loath Final Draft 8.  Won't even boot it up anymore.  Got it from my wife as a gift "god bless her"...

I've used both and it's a mixed bag. I think the features and usability is significantly more superior in Movie Magic, so that's what I use every time I have the choice in the matter. FD just has some really clunky things that drive me nuts that can be done with a click of a button in MMS. I also tend to have way more crashes with FD, especially in Windows.

But then again, FD seems to be the more prevalent industry standard, so if you're looking into making a serious go at this to the big time, you'll probably have to both own and be fluent in FD.

I've solved this by writing in MMS and then just copying and pasting it to FD so that I can deliver it in the format that the people seem to require it. The formatting will be messed up, but that's actually a pretty good proofreading step. You have to pay attention to the text when you're correcting the format.


The act of writing is a quest to put a hundred thousand words to a cunning order.
