Well this isn't going to really help anyone. I agree with all the positive customers on this one.
After endless crashes of version 6 on my Mac, I finally upgraded to version 7. Not wanting to do a scene re-number I was forced to go to an earlier auto save version.
FD6 is out there for "evaluation," and you won't need activation. I was too slow to return this version or I'd me on Movie Magic already.
AUTO SAVE OFTEN. I won't even get into the hopeless lack of keyboard shortcuts and cheesy incomplete porting to Mac.Don't waste your money.
I have been using Final Draft since version 4. Although I haven't had the classic v.6 total wipeout crash (where you can't even open the last saved version of your file or it opens blank), today I had a nice surprise where the scene numbering dropped down into the action.
No updates that mean anything the entire time I've used FD, and with 7 they screwed up the Navigator, a feature I actually liked.
I tried a bunch of free programs and even others that were 'low cost' - forget that. I'm really happy with it. I just needed a place to expand on, build on, a script I am working on. Final Draft does the job, easily, clearly and without a fuss.
There's lots of great little tools like being able to see your script with index cards and being able to make notes. Everything is made easy in terms of formatting and it's easy to just open up and start using. What more can you ask for. As a screenwriter I find this tool absolutely essential in order to appear professional. The "Tip of the Day" is a great opener to the program. Everything's at your fingertips like creating a pdf and registering the script with the WGA and it's pretty much the standard in Hollywood.
It was very fast and the product itself is great. Great job shipping. I'd recommend this service to anyone.
