 Version 7 2nd chance? September 28, 2004
39 out of 40 found this review helpful
This should be a great new version of Final Draft but it's been dogged by bugs: it's crashed, chewed up text etc etc and I wrote an at-the-end-of-my-tether review of it a few weeks back. However, to their credit, the company does respond to user's comments quickly and they've just put out yet another update. I'd still reccommend getting version 6 and waiting to see if the problems with 7 are solved. Don't get me wrong, though: Final Draft is a wonderful programme, if you're a screenwriter it'll change your life.
 Overrated July 11, 2005

I have never been so disappointed with a piece of software. The interface is crude in the extreme. The help system is even worse, with nasty, cut-and-pasted bitmaps. There is very little scope for customisation. All-in-all it looks (and feels) about 10 years old. When you consider that you can achieve almost all of this using stylesheets in Word the price they charge is a total ripoff. Plus, they have the audacity to charge extra for a British English spell-checker - I could get a Japanese one for Word for free if I wanted. These people just aren't trying.
Are some of these people mad?! June 2, 2006

As a user of Final Draft in a production situation, I can honestly say it is the most frustrating piece of software i've ever come accross. The person who said they're not trying is spot on, this might be a good package for writers (Although i've been told its not great for them either) but it certainly doesn't help when you go into pre-production on a film. Small issues such as sending a script from Mac to PC gives you a different page count (They have different fonts for each machine??!) to the fact that you can't select the amended pages only, you get into copy and pasting fun if you only need these pages on a document. Totally overpriced, although sadly there's no alternative for the industry at the moment. Amazon is the cheapest place to buy that i've found so far.
 Final draft 7 certainly does it for me. August 13, 2005

I have been using Final Draft for quite some time and Version 7 proves why this is the industry standard in scriptwriting software. Not only does this program have all of the features I need for a professional looking screenplay, the company releases updates for the program regularly and it keeps improving. Things may have been shaky when version 7 was released; but this was well over one year ago and Final Draft 7 is now the most stable piece of software I have seen. Also, the package I received allowed me to install a British-English spellchecker for free when I inserted the CD. You don't have to pay extra for the spellchecker; it's in the package.
Final Draft 7.1 rocks! August 10, 2005

I recently upgraded from FD5 to FD 7.1 and it rocks! Now I can automatically create PDF copies, with or without a title page included. There are two sides to the Index Cards - so now I can type notes for scenes and they don't show up in the script itself because my actors don't need to know all the props or spfx that are needed in that scene, etc. I can split the window and look at TWO different script pages at the same time - saves time! And the split screen can be changed to show the Index Cards on one side or the Outline. I downloaded the demo from their site and when I called them to purchase the upgrade I got a customer number and didn't have to install anything else - they turned the demo into the full version. Very cool!
