You can’t get the text out as text.Īs of the rest of the functionality it’s just a matter of how much you use it in order to justify the expense or yourself. On the Beat Board I have to say you CAN export it to pdf, but what you get is just one big, simple pdf. We can't find products matching the selection. Join the ranks of Hollywood’s most notable writers and use your creative energy to focus on the content while Final Draft takes care of the style.

The question is, are they worth the upgrade price of $80? Final Draft Upgrade Final Draft version 8 has more style, more muscle, and more features to help take your script from idea to the screen. And a night mode.Īll good things, if you ask me. In version 11 you get the possibility to export the Beat Board as a pdf, something that hasn’t been possible in version 10, you get a better collaboration feature, and you get alternate dialogues.

There are a couple of little features that they added in version 11, but in my opinion it boils down to this: If you already have a copy of Final Draft and you think about upgrading, here are my two cents.

And they usually also export pdf and Final Draft file format.

Just be aware that there are a lot of alternatives that can do the writing and formatting part equally well at a lower price. So, if that’s what you want, go ahead and get a license. Just firing it up gave me the kicks, like, woooow, I’m really writing a screenplay.

I remember when I started out, there weren’t so many different applications to choose from, it was basically between Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter. But as a new writer you probably don’t need all that.Īnd if you use it just for the writing, you end up paying for a lot of functionality that you don’t even need.Īnd other screenwriting apps can do the writing equally well for a lower price. It’s great for the production cycle, where you need locked pages, revisions, and all that jazz. But it’s not so good for outlining and storing research, in my opinion. And that means, Final Draft is by no means the only software that reads or creates the Final Draft file format.Īlmost any screenwriting software can do that.Īlso, you should ask yourself, what is it that you want to use the software for? And by that I mean, for what steps of the writing process?įinal Draft is really good for the writing part. It’s true though, that Final Draft is a commonly used file format for intercompatibility between different software packages. Of course your writing should be really good as well. So, as long as you can make a pdf in proper screenplay format, you’re fine in terms of the technical aspects. The official industry standard file format for screenwriting is not Final Draft, it’s pdf. Let me give you a couple of my own opinions in order to facilitate your decisionmaking. Let’s look at the first case first, the new writer scenario.Īnd the simple answer is, of course, it depends. You already own some older version of Final Draft, maybe even Final Draft 10, and now you’re thinking about upgrading and you’re not sure if the upgrade price is worth the upgrade in terms of functionality.Then, you maybe took a look at the price and now you’re thinking, geez, is this really worth it? Do I really need Final Draft to write my screenplay? You’re a fairly new screenwriter and somewhere along the way, maybe through internet research, in a writer’s group or some other place you’ve heard that Final Draft is “the industry standard” software when it comes to screenwriting.Live technical support (phone, chat, email) for Final Draft 9 with a Final Draft technician is no longer available.
