 Final Draft... Financial Disappointment May 27, 2008
Robin Ferguson

I'm a writer, here's my story. I bought Final Draft mainly because I felt I needed to upgrade from Microsoft Works or get left behind. Well, I've worked with Final Draft for a while, and to be honest I do not think it was worth the $150.00 dollars + postage. It's very hard to format scripts, especially ones that had been saved in other formats - it adds all these extra spaces and it's terribly time consuming to remove them. Also, it sometimes adds in a character heading when one isn't needed and it's very difficult to get rid of those showing up all the time.
I cannot figure out how to use the Tagger part at all. The most disappointing part for me was that it DOES NOT read the scripts back - it does however save your script in a new format that you cannot add to. And finally my last complaint is that the disk explaining how to use it is NOT INCLUDED and sells for $30.00 extra bucks. Now, maybe it's just my computer - it's an Everex with Microsoft Windows XP that's not even a year old. Maybe it's just my bad luck.

This software is excellent for formatting screenplays. Technical support answered my naive questions. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I decided to send the product back.
I ran into some glitches from the start. So, I figured
this isn't for me. It was supposed to be easy, but, it
was not. Then, I found out that if I wanted tech support,
I would have to pay after only twenty minutes of free assistance.
That alone was reason enough to send the item back. To charge at
both ends is ridiculous, at least that's my opinion.

Final Draft is so great for anyone looking to work with scripts. It's not that script writing is terribly difficult, it's just a lot of tedious formatting. This program makes it so simple and easy to write out a script and make it look polished and professional. As an added bonus, it's set up to work with Toon Boom Storyboard Pro - which just makes film making so much easier.
As most of you probably know, working on a film from start to finished is a lot of work; programs like Final Draft, Toon Boom's Storyboard Pro, FrameForge 3D Studio 2, etc. are great tools that help people who don't have a lot of resources create professional results and cut down on the immense amount of time that it would take (especially one person or a small group) to finish an entire film.
Overall, this is a great product that I haven't had any problems with at all.
