Final Draft
Let’s start with the software that seems to be the choice of Hollywood, Final Draft.
Final Draft isn’t more robust or dramatically better than any of the other screenwriting software that I’ve used, but the thing is, in my experience, most everyone in the industry uses it.
And with good reason: It’s easy to use screenwriting software that is accessible to beginners and a valuable tool for professionals. Get your free trial version here.
Movie Magic Screenwriter
Next to Final Draft, the other screenwriting software program that is considered industry standard is Movie Magic Screenwriter by Write Brothers, Inc.
It has all the features that a scriptwriter needs.
It’s easy to learn and easy to use.
And if you have problems not only are the support staff responsive and helpful, they are there for you as long as you use Movie Magic Screenwriter.
