Software Reviews of Final Draft 7 Professional Scriptwriting [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: The Quintessential Writing Tool...
Summary: 4 Stars
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 is made easy in terms of formatting and it's easy to just open up and start using. There's lots of great little tools like being able to see your script with index cards and being able to make notes. 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. What more can you ask for?Customer Review: Great product/Fast Delivery
Summary: 5 Stars
Great job shipping. It was very fast and the product itself is great. I'd recommend this service to anyone.Customer Review: Industry standard. Bug fest. Company is arrogant.
Summary: 2 Stars
Okay, for starters, I've been writing scripts professionally for years... for Warners, Paramount, ABC, CBS, etc.. and for myself.
THE PROS:
1) It's THE industry standard. You can send Final Draft files to any studio, no problem. Everybody uses it.
2) It's easy to jump between slug lines, action, dialog, etc.
3) Keeping track of revisions is simple and works.
THE CONS:
1) Buggy as hell. In fact, its embarrassingly buggy and the company hasn't fix the bugs IN YEARS!!! Guess when you dominate an industry, why waste money on making the product work as advertised. This policy worked wonders for the American auto industry, didn't it.
2) If you have a problem with their bugs, call the company and they charge you $2 per minute to solve their software screw ups.
3) Their "collabowriter" feature. Hah. I've known countless writers over the years in Hollywood. Never met a writer who got that to work.
4) No updates in years!
5) Oh, did I mention buggy?
6) Notes feature is super basic. Barely useable.
Customer Review: Soild program with good customer service
Summary: 4 Stars
Final Draft is the industry standard and I have bought the last three versions of the product and put them to good use. However, they have all had their quirks and bugs. On the most recent verison a prepackaged template simply crashed the program everytime it was used.
That said, while trying to fix this problem, their customer service department has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Even though we still haven't been able to totally solve the problem, they have been great. This program is a big help, just remember to save often.
Customer Review: Final Draft!
Summary: 5 Stars
Final Draft is seriously the best screenwriting software out there. I'm a college student looking to go into the Film industry, and with the help of Final Draft, I am able to get my ideas easily into the script format!
