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.p 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.p Or view Page 3 of the script in one panel and Page 66 in another, side-by-side or stacked for easy viewing.p table align="left" width="350" cellpadding="5" tr td img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/finaldraft2.jpg" border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1brbr/font/td/tr/table bNew Index Cards/bbr 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!p 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.p 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.p "Final Draft 7 is spectacular. It lets me build my story on scene cards, then allows me to see that outline and my script pages at the same time. This is a tremendous tool well worth the price of admission. With Final Draft 7, they've moved from a software that formats your work to one that actually helps you write better." p-- Peter Iliff,i Varsity Blues/i, iUnder Suspicion/i, iPatriot Games/i, iPoint Break/ip bTagger/bbr 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. "The tedium of transferring from script to breakdown sheet is over#133;I helped design Tagger and now I can do budgets and schedules faster than ever -- and I was pretty fast before." p-- Jay Tobias, Director, iThe Agency/i, iDawson's Creek/i, iHomicide: Life on the Street/i, iChicago Hope/ip table align="center" width="350" cellpadding="5" tr td img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/finaldraft3.jpg" border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1brbr/font/td/tr/table bThere's More/bbr We've also improved Final Draft's Cast List, Revision Header, PDF exporting, the Title Page, CollaboWriter and more.
