Final Draft 7/Syd Field's Screenwriting Workshop DVD Bundle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, so I found out that Final Draft is the Industry Standard in Tinsel Town. Great. I'll buy one. Check out who uses it on their website. Wow! But the software alone doesn't tell us, say, what goes where and why in a screenplay. It just lays there, blank, with blinking cursor... waiting for some brilliance to be entered by me. Enter Syd Field. I have his books on screenwriting and, although the DVD is a little 'talking head'-like, it did make me understand more about the craft of screenwriting, like plot, story structure, action points and character arcs - the things that make up a really great movie. Take notes while watching the DVD! It made me better and less insecure about taking the movie idea out of my head and Final Draft is a cool tool that formats for you and types things you type alot for you. An excellent combination!! Highly recommend.

Scriptwriter's Suite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't buy this product! First off, they don't disclose the considerable copy protection on this product. You'll be forced to activate it time and again. If you have a disc failure you will lose your install. You can't use this on more than one computer without buying another expensive license. This product costs twice what Microsoft word costs. I finally gave up using this thing and tried for 2 years to get my money back. Please vote with your dollars and don't buy applications crippled with heavy handed copy protection. You can replicate what this program does in Microsoft Word.

Final Draft 7 Professional Scriptwriting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never written a review of anything in my life. When Final Draft 7 crashed for the umpteenth time today, I felt compelled to. I am a working screenwriter who has been using Final Draft since version 5. All told, six years. Whatever bug that caused FD6 to randomly crash in OSX HAS NOT been fixed, despite what Final Draft says. At least in Final Draft 7 the crash doesn't render my file "incompatable with this version of Final Draft" -- if any of you out there have had that happen, I deeply pity you, as you understand what it's like to be that maze-bound rat that randomly receives electric shocks.
Throw in the fact that this product is edging toward $250.00 (nearly as much as digital video editing programs), the fact that customer support costs $2.00 a minute -- you heard me right, $2.00 a minute to ask them ANYTHING, no matter how small -- and you get a clear impression of a company that peddles severely inferior software becuase they know they have the market locked. This is, however, NOT THE CASE. 25% of people that use screenwriting apps DO NOT USE FINAL DRAFT, becuase there are vastly superior programs out there. As of today, I am a proud member of the 25%.
Thanks to easy .pdf file conversion, anyone can use any screenwriting app they like.
Those that for some reason do decide to purchase this product, I implore you to change your preferences so you auto-save every five minutes, as this is the only way you won't lose a day's work, a week's work -- or God forbid, if don't back up your files -- an entire script.
