Fantastic software March 26, 2008

I checked out a few screenwriting programs over a period of time and the one I've felt most comfortable using is Movie Magic 6, which just works elegantly and smoothly. A PDF instruction manual plus a built-in tutorial run you through the basics. I found them incredibly useful to grow more confident using the program.
The NaviDoc is one of the program's greatest features, allowing you to make outlines and notes on your script. You can prep acts, scenes, sequences, beats etc by describing what you want to write. These appear colour-coded on your page, but don't appear when you export as Word or PDF files. This allows you to write down your thoughts which you can then work off of right in front of you, while you're writing the intricate details.
It doesn't try to hold your hand while you write. It doesn't tell you how to write. But as a writing tool for just allowing you to get down what's in your head, it's amazing.
If you check out Final Draft's reviews you'll notice one particular review by a BBC writer who recommends Movie Magic over Final Draft 7. Final Draft 7 has had quite a few bugs, ranging from page numbering and activation issues through to files not opening (as well as not exactly being a joy to use). Movie Magic just works.
