Rights Handbook. What's new in Version 7 The next step in the evolution of
screenwriting software. Final Draft is now an even more powerful writing tool
that allows you to write and see your script in a variety of new ways. The
Panels System Like most writers, you probably need to keep a lot of things at
the front of your mind while you're writing: How does the Act 3 argument scene
you're writing today connect to the argument scene in Act 1? Where should the
first-kiss scene go? How many scenes are in the chase sequence? What are the
plot points in Act 3? Like no other screenwriting program, Final Draft 7 can
show you what you need to see while you're writing. You can split your screen
into separate panels and view your script pages in one panel and index cards
in the other. If you enable the new Navigator panel [a consolidated, linear,
top-to-bottom list of the Scene Headings] you can simply double-click on a
scene heading and Final Draft will jump to that scene in the script panel. Or
view Page 3 of the script in one panel and Page 66 in another, side-by-side or
stacked for easy viewing. New Index Cards For years Final Draft users have
relied on the Scene Navigator as a quick map of their script. We've kept this
tried-and-true tool but added a whole new dimension of functionality: Now
every card has TWO sides and you can write on one of them! The Script side
works just the way you're used to in Scene Navigator but the Summary side lets
you type in development ideas, notes, sequence or act markers, comments,
locations, blocking... anything you need to build and organize your story. And
the text you type into the Summary Cards will appear as under the Scene
Headings in the Navigator, so you can always see where you are in the story.
To put it simply, brainstorming, structuring, writing and rewriting your
script will be a lot easier when you have with this comprehensive, interactive
overview at your command. Tagger A new stand-alone application that enables
you to "tag" elements of a script [cast, costumes, props, etc.] and export the
results into any movie scheduling software. Created with the help of veteran
assistant directors, producers and unit production managers, Tagger means no
more going over a paper script again and again with highlighters. With the
Panel System, Final Draft 7 can show you what you need to see while you're
writing. Click to enlarge. Brainstorming, structuring, writing and rewriting
