 This is the true Industry Standard, 2008-07-11
I've worked in and around the entertainment industry for almost 15 years now and though there was a time when Final Draft could be considered the industry standard those days are long gone. No matter what you hear I am here to tell you that in my experience, literally, most people actually working in this town use Movie Magic Screenwriter. Not just the writers and directors but the producers and nearly everybody who has to do something with the script during production. The simple reason is: it is more powerful and easier to use.
For that matter I've seen far too many people finally decide to throw Final Draft away (after I had been telling them to do so for years) when in the middle of shooting and trying to rush to get something ready for the next day Final Draft either crashed or had some funkiness that completely gummed up their files. I've never had anybody tell me they've experienced that with Screenwriter.
The new outlining feature is great if still not fully realized. Ultimately the company should have found a way to just integrate StoryView into the program, especially considering it seems this outline feature is the primary reason it took them about 7 or 8 years to come out with a new version and it isn't anywhere near as powerful as StoryView. Having said that the whole Navidoc is excellent. The notes feature is enhanced to make creating different kinds of notes super easy and much more functional than it was before (and light years ahead of anything Final Draft offers). I don't really use the book marks feature all that much but I've spoken to a lot of my co-workers and friends who use bookmarks frequently so you may find it a useful feature.
I can also tell you this: if you truly have plans to actually see your screenplay go into production anybody who will be working with you and the file will greatly appreciate you using Screenwriter. Everybody is still using Scheduling and nothing, NOTHING, works as seemlessly with Scheduling as Screenwriter. Sorry Final Draft. Nobody wants to open another program to do their tagging and production work and go back and forth between that and the main program while doing rewrites and going through the production cycle. Not to mention having all that work go to waste when bugs wipe stuff out.
Beyond the basic funtionality there are so many advanced features in Screenwriter that it would take an expert manual to cover everything. In my experience any time I've thought "hey, it would be nice if I could..." after poking around a bit I've discovered Screenwriter can and I'm off and running. Now with the new outline feature and script notes changes I am almost 100% fully loaded. Not quite, but as close as anything else out there.
