Publisher review:Final Draft is one of the most popular utilities when talking about professional movie script and stage play writing. It brings you a powerful word processing engine combined with scripting formatting, which makes it suitable for professional use.
Final Draft comes with a panel system that allows you to easily keep your writing in sync with scene views and index cards. The application makes it much easier for you to write down your ideas into separate panels, so you can access them at a later time.
The application also allows you to keep tracks of ideas and feedback for your current script. It includes a ScriptNotes feature that allows you to review your own scripts, or the ones written by other users.
Final Draft also includes some features available specifically for movies, such as screenplay templates. These will help you start from a familiar point instead of starting from the beginning, without any guidance.
Operating system:Mac OS X 10.7 or later
