About

Used by 95% of film and television productions. Final Draft is the choice of professional screenwriters and filmmakers around the world. Final Draft® 11 automatically paginates and formats your script to industry standards allowing writers to focus on what they do best: writing. Collaborate simultaneously with your writing partners IN REAL TIME - around the corner - or around the world. Speech to Script customizes Mac’s Dictation feature so you can write your screenplay without ever touching a keyboard. Use SmartType to cut down on keystrokes by auto-filling commonly used names, locations and more. Insert images on title pages, in the script or even in the Beat Board to help visualize your story. Use Alternate Dialogue to store as many different versions of lines as you can imagine. Eliminate distractions and get down to business with night mode.

About

In Highland, the words come first. You don’t need to think about margins or formatting. Just start typing. Seriously, just type. Leave a blank line between paragraphs. Type the character’s name in UPPERCASE. The line below it will become dialogue. With Live Margins turned on, Highland will automatically indent. Need a parenthetical? Put it in parentheses. Highland automatically recognizes scene headers like INT. and EXT, and also transitions like CUT TO. Once used, Highland automatically suggests character and location names. To see a preview of what you’ve written, tap the Preview button or choose View > Go to Preview. Congratulations! You’ve just mastered 90% of screenwriting in Highland. Highland 2 was the first screenwriting app to include Gender Analysis. It’s a great way to look at the breakdown of male and female characters in your script. Not just how many times they speak, but how many words.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Formats just like standard Hollywood script and has a few nice reformatting features and scene/character reports.

Cons

  • You can't hot key element type but have to mouse navigate; any imported scripts (even if output by final draft) have to have each element hand adjusted among other manual changes. There is zero support for languages with 'orbital' vowels and consonants - Particularly Thai and Khmer. I have opened numerous support requests and am always told it will be supported in a future version but has not been considered as of interest by their development team for over 5 years now. Both languages support unicode - word and open office and celtx all support but not final draft - and you can't paste in either - you just get non printing characters even if the system supports this languages for every other app (Windows 10 latest updates). So every script I work on in SE Asia has to be translated into english to format in final draft exported and translated back and then manually formatted to match the Hollywood 'paramount' format final draft provides. The developers are paid to work, right? All real software supports internationalization right? 😡😡

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like how easy it is to use for writing a screenplay or writing a simple manuscript. It formats everything for you and you don't have to worry about it. Also, the free trial has a lot of features, but purchasing the pro version is better. It takes out the watermark on every page if you purchase the pro version. The price is actually not bad either. $50 for pro. I also the different revision colors that are used. All in all it is a good solid software, but there are some cons.

Cons

  • I have been using the software for a while and I have noticed that there is something lacking in the program. Character cards to create backgrounds. It's missing a cork board of sorts to move scenes around.
