Screenwriting : Scriptwriting software by Rhonda Stegall Aycock And Renee Stegall

Scriptwriting software

Curious what kind of software folks are using.

James Welday

I use a very outdated version of Final Draft, that has seen me through each script that I've written. It hasn't failed me yet, but I definitely should look into upgrading! lol

Dan Guardino

I use final draft... maily because I had to but I like it anyway.

Michael David

FD12 and I'm a total fanboy!

Maurice Vaughan

Final Draft 12. Really easy to use. I use WriterDuet as a backup.

E Langley

FD ver. 10.

Laura Fortino-Zeni

FD 11

Ahmed Reggad

You can use even Microsoft Word.. I can email you a template that makes screenwriting easy in Word.. the most important thing is the screenplay not the software.. good luck

Dan Guardino

Please don’t use Microsoft Word. If you sell your script it is a pain in the ass to turn it into Final Draft.

Timothy Moran

Final Draft. Hands down my favourite!

I use Movie Magic Screenwriter and found it to be pretty user friendly. But, it's not compatible with my newly updated computer... so I've been hanging on to my old computer for writing. I think it's time to take the plunge into FD. Thanks for all the input! :-)

Marília Fortini

Final Draft!!!:)

Rhonda Stegall Aycock And Renee Stegall. I used to use Movie Magic Screenwriter but had to switch to FD because everyone I was working with used FD. FD is pretty user-friendly as well.

Dan Guardino Good to know. Throughout my career, I've had to learn software by hook or crook, so I'm a quick study. :-)

Fade In software

Simply Microsoft WORD

There is no write or wrong answer to your question - just preference. You submit your scripts for consideration in a .pdf file format. Most any of the commonly used script writing software will do that. I use Final Draft 12 because I've come up through the years using it (from FD 6). It has a lot of bells & whistles that I don't use but as I've shifted into Producing/Directing, it has stuff that I rely on. The choice is yours but don't fret about it.

WriterDuet! It's pretty affordable and so simple to use :D
