Well this isn't going to really help anyone. I agree with all the positive customers on this one.
I won't even get into the hopeless lack of keyboard shortcuts and cheesy incomplete porting to Mac.Don't waste your money. I was too slow to return this version or I'd me on Movie Magic already.
After endless crashes of version 6 on my Mac, I finally upgraded to version 7. I have been using Final Draft since version 4.
AUTO SAVE OFTEN. Although I haven't had the classic v.6 total wipeout crash (where you can't even open the last saved version of your file or it opens blank), today I had a nice surprise where the scene numbering dropped down into the action.
Not wanting to do a scene re-number I was forced to go to an earlier auto save version. No updates that mean anything the entire time I've used FD, and with 7 they screwed up the Navigator, a feature I actually liked.
FD6 is out there for "evaluation," and you won't need activation.
I just needed a place to expand on, build on, a script I am working on. I tried a bunch of free programs and even others that were 'low cost' - forget that. Final Draft does the job, easily, clearly and without a fuss. I'm really happy with it.
As a screenwriter I find this tool absolutely essential in order to appear professional. There's lots of great little tools like being able to see your script with index cards and being able to make notes. 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. 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.
Great job shipping. It was very fast and the product itself is great. I'd recommend this service to anyone.
