"The Best So Far.", This is the best, most user friendly writing software I've used so far. Once you read the manual and familiarize yourself with the program, you will be writing screenplays faster than ever. If you've been struggling with word programs, you need this software. It allows you to concentrate on the story, and not on fighting ill formatted programs.

"you need this program", This review is in response to A.A. Cucolo "trezku13"

If you are serious about writing scripts you need a screenwriting program. And there are only two that should be considered Movie Magic Screenwriter or Final Draft. I choose MMS because of bugs with the release of FD 7.0. Apparantly FD 7.1 has been bug-fixed and may now be the better purchase. I don't know--I'm sticking with MMS.

Now it is true you could use Word or Wordperfect to write "Cut To:" several thousand times, but why on earth would you.

Scripts need to be in a particular format, and screenwriting programs make putting the script in that format significantly easier than screwing around with Word.

A comparison might be made to cooking, sure you can make Chinese food without a wok--but why on earth would you?

Word processing programs are general purpose tools that can be re-fitted to produce scripts.

Screenwriting programs are specific purpose tools that are designed to do one thing well--produce scripts.

There is no serious screenwriter out there today that does not use one of the two programs mentioned above (Movie Magic Screenwriter or Final Draft)--even those screenwriters who prefer to do their first draft on paper subsequently move those pages to electronic format in one of these programs.

Is this worth $172 or $200 or $250? Considering that a spec script can sell for over $500,000--and the surest way to get that script rejected is to use improper script format--I'd have to say yes.



"Highly Recommended", Great for writing screenplays, teleplays or any work of fiction. Keep track of characters, move scenes around, and be able to register your work with the WGA immediately. This software came highly recommended by screenwriter friends and writing workshop instructors. The free book, The Screenwriter's Bible, is the perfect companion for this software.

"This IS the latest version!", I must apologize!
This IS the latest version of Movie Magic Sgreenwriter! The paperwork I received told me it was 4.5 and I didn't open anything else until after I heard from the manufacturer which took awhile. They told me I could get upgrades so...
Today I opened the cd wrapper and found it to be the newest version. Don't ask me why it wasn't labeled earlier?
Anyway this is the latest and I apologize for earlier comments.
Cheers, By George

"Top Screenwriting Program Avaliable", Movie Magic Screenwriter is by far the most helpful, easy to manage screenwriting program on the market. I have used other software such as Final Draft, and have found that Movie Magic is by far the best. It makes formatting your script as simple as possible, offering a wide variety of templates, such as television scripts, motion picture scripts, etc. It also helps you organize your characters and makes it easy to find certain scenes with it's variety of tools to help you manage the script. This program is definitely worth the money.

"Excellent font performance.", Further to my last review of this product the most significant feature in comparison to Final Draft 6.0 is Screenwriter's flawless font rendition quality as a page is scrolled up and down. Unlike Final Draft, Screenwriter re-draws the page without a horribly smudged, or raggedy line look., which takes repeated scrubbing up and down with the mouse to correct.

So, for a more pleasing screenwriting experience, Screenwriter 2000 is a better choice.

"Excellent application that expands with your needs.", Screenwriter 2000

Screenwriter 2000 enables you to create script-documents based on a number of pre-formatted templates, which respond to a set of hotkeys, mostly Tab and Enter, in order to conveniently place text in the appropriate place for screenplays, stage plays, etc. You can also use Screenwriter 2000 as a you would normally use a word processor, since it has spell checking and font formatting features. Custom templates can be created from scratch, or by modifying those installed.

The format set-up property sheet / control panel is well thought out, access to all the parameters needed are from that screen, there being no need for jumping from one dialog box to another. The primary interface is usefully uncluttered, and is switchable between standard Microsoft Word view and its own. Not that there's a lot of difference, but it could be a comfort factor if you're used to Word.

Import and file save-as options are very comprehensive. But you'll mostly be saving as a SCW file, a PDF for distribution and printing from outside of Screenwriter, and RTF for those who don't have Screenwriter and need an editable draft.

Pasting a previously created script with the correct formatting from an RTF will result in Screenwriter applying the correct tags to the copied text, so that you don't need to worry about having to re-do the script in Screenwriter.

The only distraction that I encountered was in Dialogue text. In Screenwriter 2000 you have to insert a specific line-break to avoid the enter key splitting the dialogue with the ( more ) and Joe Blow ( cont't ) tags as if you were crossing a page-break. This can be done by going Edit > Add Dialogue Paragraph or using Ctrl+Alt +D. The index cards are directly editable, which might be useful, but you are warned that some of the features used in the main editing window will be lost. Warnings of this type abound, so you're unlikely to do anything disastrous if you heed them.

Screenwriter 2000 is a great product for writing scripts which will keep their formatting automatically updated as you proceed, revise, and amend. It should also be borne in mind that Screenwriter 2000 is part of a suite of products, which will allow you cover many aspects of the production process beyond the screenplay.

"You wanna write, or do you wanna read the instructions?", After trying out a couple demos for the leading formatting software, I couldn't stop working on Screenwriter. It was so easy to use, and fun, I ended up writing a 40 page script on the demo. The other demos demanded I spend the time learning the software before I was able to start writing, what a bother!

Screenwriter frees you up to let the ideas flow, it's like having a secretary who thinks you are so brilliant he will take care of all the annoying details for you and even predict what your thinking. Screenwriter will also rib you about procrastinating if you wonder off to play with the preferences.

I love choosing the actors to read my script out loud, and the storyboard feature.

Defiantly the software to get if you want to enjoy writing.
