I can't comment on the story map and beat board features.
#Buy final draft 10 tagger upgrade#
I can't say that I think it's worth the upgrade cost. The alt dialog feature is handy, but I use it in Fade In very rarely. Better to screen-share if you're both on macs.

The only comments I've heard about their collaboration features have been scathing. So, what I've heard is that the general answer is no, the upgrade isn't worth it.
#Buy final draft 10 tagger pro#
I just want the FD newb to know that there are pro writers out there, working just fine with FD. The only reason I pipe up on some FD threads is I feel sorry for the newb who asks a simple FD question, and gets swamped with the hate. Are all these successful writers wrong? I don't think so.

Despite this, McKenna continues to use Final Draft on all her computers, as the video clearly shows. August sells his own program, and Mazin champions Fade In Pro. ABM is a good friend of John August and Craig Mazin, both sworn enemies of Final Draft. Every one of these A-List screenwriters (except John August) is shown using Final Draft. Look at these videos from the Motion Picture Academy. When writers like Jim Cameron, JJ Abrams and Aaron Sorkin use and recommend Final Draft, the logical conclusion is that it works.

Top writers can afford to use any screenwriting software they want. I think this is somewhat of a bogus argument. If FD was so bad, top people like Jim Cameron, JJ Abrams and Aaron Sorkin would not use it. I don't think it's "hate" to point out that there is a tool on the market that does the same thing, better in many ways, for much less money. There are other reasons why it's the most popular app - one of which is that they spend a tremendous amount of money marketing their product, whereas some of their competitors don't do any meaningful marketing and only spread by word-of-mouth. If FD performed so poorly, it wouldn't be the most popular screenwriting app on the market.Īnd I disagree, strongly. Given that I continue to hear examples of stuff just not working (e.g., a recent thread where somebody complains about how FD10s spell-checker works) I'm skeptical that they're really fixed all of the stability issues. I'll believe FD has turned it around when they fix the basic foundational things with their software like unicode support. MMS wasn't really in active development, and there simply weren't any other options. The truth is that for much of the past decade, FD had what amounted to a monopoly. But Final Draft works fine as screenwriting software. You can say it's overpriced, or it doesn't have your favorite feature. After all, FD 8 has been pretty good to me. It's not needed at all but I feel like I could definitely still have a use for it.Ĭan anyone give me some feedback as to what they think of those features? It helps that FD 10's upgrade would cost $80 instead of $100 during Thanksgiving weekend but if the new tools are crappy and need a lot of work before being a little more polished, I'll just wait it out for now. The Alternate Dialogue tool seems pretty nifty. Is this merely just a chat program within Final Draft or is there more to it than that? If both he and I had FD 10, it seems like it'd be easier to collaborate while we can't write side-by-side (if one of us is traveling for example). I like the idea of having everything be in the same documentĬollaboration: I'm in the middle of a second draft of something with a co-writer. These tools make it seem like I may be able to ditch Word entirely, which would be a plus. The Story Map and Beat Board tools: I usually break down my stories using Word. I saw that FD 10 has quite a few new features and those that interest me the most are the following: I've been using Final Draft 8 for the longest time and though I have no complaints, I was looking into maybe upgrading.
