Final Draft Update 13.2.0 Brings Redemption
Kommentare: Final Draft (FD) has redeemed itself with the wonderful 13.2.0 update. I, like so many others, had mixed feelings with the initial version 13.0.0 release. But with the latest update, the Final Draft team has redirected its efforts to something we may all appreciate, and that new feature is called Autocorrect. Like the great novel-writing software, Scrivener, the equally great screenwriting software, Final Draft v13.2.0, now has an autocorrection facility. Hundreds of words will automatically be corrected as you write your screenplay. For example, "theif" will change to "thief" before your very eyes. But more than that, you can add your own corrections or make changes to the list. For example, you may wish to have your characters capitalised wherever their names appear in your screenplay. To do this, in the Windows version of FD, click the Tools menu > Options > Autocorrect tab ... once there, click the + button, type "clarence" in the left column and "Clarence" in the right column, click OK and you're done. Go further to make your writing smoother: make "im" = "I'm", "ive" = "I've"; but take care with "ill" = "I'll" because "ill" may be written to mean "sick"; instead use "il" for "I'll". This is what many of us ask from Final Draft: empower our writing, facilitate the nitty-gritty process of typing. The Macro utility, Typewriter Mode and now Autocorrect help our writing to flow. And this is what makes Final Draft arguably the best screenwriting software, just edging out some fantastic competitors. After all, more than any one feature, we write 70, 80, 90 or more pages of a screenplay. We write — that is our modus operandi. Why lose a millisecond pressing the Shift key to capitalise a character's name? Why lose a couple of seconds to correct a spelling error? Why continually scroll to keep the writing near the top of the screen (closer to eye level)? To the incredible credit of the FD team, it has listened and has set itself back on course to enable writers to write more smoothly and flowingly. For many screenwriters, to list Emojis as a new feature — as was the case in the initial 13.0.0 release — was too much to take. Right or wrong, screenwriters take their craft and creative efforts a little more seriously than to work out where to place a smiley face or a sad face. Another new feature of the initial release is Stats, which would interest producers more than writers. Set Goals is more for professional screenwriters on contracts than probably hobbyists who are at the mercy of the Muses. The new Autocorrect feature, introduced in 13.2.0, is likely to bring back into the fold many disaffected FD users.
Vorteile:
# provides great story-planning tools # facilitates smooth writing # has uncluttered workspace # exhibits bits and pieces of intelligence everywhere # has an easy-to-learn Macro Utility # quick response-time from the Final Draft team to user-concerns
Nachteile:
There isn't much to dislike as it provides options. If you don't want to use a certain feature, you don't have to. If you don't like a certain feature and can't ignore it, you probably have the choice of using another feature to do the job.

Best collaborative writing
Kommentare: I have used Final Draft as a student and then on some companies where I worked. On my new job this is the software we use for every script and I find it so comfortable and easy to use and to send the new versions. Is great to collaborate specially when developing tv scripts, I like the option to track the changes and the beat cards.
Vorteile:
Final Draft is the best option when you are a professional writer. Even there are other softwares Final Draft is the one if you are working on the film or tv industry as most proffesionals and producers tend to use this one. The new version is great and the options to write along a colleague and see changes on real time is what I love the most.
Nachteile:
I think is a little expensive for the ones that are just starting. Is not that much intuitive you need to learn trough the practice, but anyways there are plenty of tutorials on their site
The biggest brand, but not the greatest value
Kommentare: I loved what I accomplished with it. Seeing the scripts and really getting a knack for the craft that brought them to life. I was unfortunately rubbed the wrong way by the way my script fell apart and being told the only way to save my work was to buy the incredibly expensive, new version of the software. This led me to a much more cost-effective alternative that I have been incredibly happy with since.
Vorteile:
There was an incredible thrill seeing a software that easily and smoothly formatted my words into industry standard screenplays -- ESPECIALLY after having done it for quite some time manually in a more commonly used word processor. The ease of use and the quality of the final document was a true thrill when I was beginning my career.
Nachteile:
The list is long. Numerous features never worked for reasons that as far as I can tell were due to the compatibility of different software versions. While that might sound reasonable, the updates were frequent and always cost substantial amounts of money (for just an update!). This led to several collaborators having a different version of Final Draft that couldn't communicate with each other. While I understand the need for updates, I do not understand the frequency and the fact that it would knock out certain features such as the writer collaborating feature (which can now be easily replicated with online websites). I also reached a point where my software was working fine, but told that I needed to update it in order to work with my new computer. I went along with this, yet the update completely crashed my software, leading me to find alternative options.
Final Draft Got Me Recognized
Kommentare: Since using Final Draft I have written an award-winning screenplay and was hired by a production team to draft a television pilot.
Vorteile:
Final Draft is outstanding when it comes to being simple to use and how it anticipates my next prompt or formatting arrangement.
Nachteile:
This software is absolutely essential for any serious writer.
Essential Software
Kommentare: I’ve had a good time using it as I sold a script. Wouldn’t have been possible without it.
Vorteile:
Absolutely essential for screenwriting. So once I made the leap and spent the money ($200) it was incredibly easy to write my script. The one time I needed support it was personal and solved my problem
Nachteile:
Just a bit of a learning curve with not much instruction. You have to kind of intuitively figure it out
