Final Draft is easy to use. No worrying about how to format your script, what font to use, or how to paginate. It’s all built in to the software so all you need to concentrate on is the writing. Just open the format you want to write in, whether it is a standard screenplay, a television sitcom, or a stage play. Final Draft takes care of all the rest. With its Tab and Enter system, Final Draft allows you to easily navigate from element to element, being Scene Heading, Action, Character, Dialogue, etc. You just hit either Tab or Enter to go from one to the other.

Some other cool features of the Final Draft download are the new Scene Navigator, which lets you track your scenes in a list form and easily sort the scenes to gauge the flow of your story. The new Scene Properties Inspector lets you colorize your scenes, add titles and notes without affecting the scenes in the actual script. Smart Type is a feature that makes it easy to enter characters, scene headings, transitions and more. Once you’ve entered any of these the first time, Final Draft stores this in a Smart Type list so that when you key in the first letter of any of these elements, the name or word pops up. Just hit enter and it places it in the script document. This way you don’t have to enter the information every time. It saves so much time, especially not having to enter the same characters over and over again. Collabowriter is another great feature that lets you work on a script with a partner or partners over the internet in real time. You can make changes or write scenes together and you can all see the progress on your screen at the same time.
