Standard Features:
Tab and Enter functions.You can install and start using Final Draft within minutes due to the easy to use Tab and Enter functionality that helps format all of the various types of script elements to industry standards.
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts. If you prefer to adjust Final Draft to a set of Keyboard Shortcuts and Macros you’re already used to, Final Draft allows you to customize your workflow specific to your writing needs.
Final Draft Courier Font. Having a consistent page count that production companies and studios can depend on to help them estimate their budgets is crucial when working on a script. That’s why Final Draft offers its own font to ensure proper pagination on both Windows and Macintosh.
ScriptNotes. These effective pop-up windows hold your ideas, suggestions, or scene fragments that you’ve cut but don’t want to toss without taking up space onscreen. Use ScriptNotes to provide feedback on a particular scene when reviewing your partner’s script or print your ScriptNotes as a report for easy reference when reviewing your script.
Templates. Television show, screenplay, stageplay, and graphic novel templates are included to get you started. In addition to what is included in the software package, the Final Draft Online Template Library is updated regularly and allows registered users to download additional templates directly from finaldraft.com.
Format Assistant. This writing tool checks your script for common formatting errors such as missing dialogue, extra spaces, carriage returns, and blank elements. You can set it to run every time you print or only when you want it to.
Text to Speech. Have your script read back to you by assigning different voices to your characters. It’s like having a live script reading in your computer.
ScriptCompare. Dynamically compare two drafts of the same script (.fdr or .fdx) and Final Draft will highlight any changes, allowing you to easily see the differences from one file to the next.
