Magic® Screenwriter™ beats Final Draft®
Head-to-Head
Movie Magic® Screenwriter™ has been the best dedicated screenwriting software
program on the market since it was first introduced as ScriptThing
in the early 1980's.
And,
true to form, it has continually stayed one step ahead of all would-be
competitors, including Final Draft.
In
fact, Final Draft has always struggled to keep up with Screenwriter™.
And the latest version still falls short.
Don't
take our word for it. See for yourself!

| We've
actually been using Movie Magic Screenwriter once we discovered
how much it kicked the ass out of Final Draft. |

| I'm
writing to tell you how pleased I am with your Screenwriter™.
In fact, I liked the software so much, I intend to have
the Drew Carey Show switch over to your product next seasons
to replace the program we're using now. |

| Four
years ago, a studio put us on Final Draft for a green-lit
film. But as months passed, then years on subsequent projects,
working with Final Draft meant struggling with a piece
of software that deep down you know isn't giving you everything
you should have. But it's what you've got. It's better
than nothing. It's good enough. That's a lie. What's good
enough, what's better than good, is switching to Screenwriter™.
With Screenwriter™, sitting down to a days work
is a completely different experience -- and an eye-opening
one. Screenwriter™ is a powerful, elegant tool that,
by contrast, shows just how mediocre the competition really
is. But most importantly, Screenwriter™, the perfect
assistant, lets you do what you sat down for in the first
place -- create and enjoy. |

Magic® Screenwriter™ is one of the easiest screenplay
formatting software on the market. The new version annihilates
Final Draft 5.0 in every way imaginable. |

| Screenwriter™
is simply the best - AND WE'VE TRIED THEM ALL - the flexibility
and features are tremendous and though other software
writing programs offer similar capabilities, none offer
the range of features and templates. This means focusing
on the issues at hand: writing of course but also taking
the script to the next level - shooting it. This is where
Screenwriter™ is more than just a great writer's
tool - it becomes a Production team's tool to actually
'make the movie' with it's ability to create complete
breakdowns of scripts and interface with the other remarkable
Movie Magic tools." |
