![]() ![]() Culling is a problem with at the moment, omitting, revisions, and clearing shots for export/print. ![]() In fadein, it can only do this through a series of configurations linking two separate things together, and if you export or import another file, it does not keep the setting and makes both settings specified as just "general". These help in bypassing all the hassle of using my mouse so I can keep typing. For instance, I use alt+2 for shot, alt+q for a continuous slug and specified margins. But in summary for elements: you're pre-script configured with a layout for keys that in final draft will keep them. The way fadein handles its formatting, margins, and elements is something that you should have a look at, as fadein offers a demo. So, I have a system setup specifically for final draft version 7 to keep the speed of the overall program. Ever since final draft went to fdx format, and whatever other reason I'm ignorant to, the program itself is10x slower than version 7, which cannot run on certain operating systems. The program speed, overall, is faster than final draft 8+. It has nothing to do with the "industry standard" selling point, since other programs can save in. I found FadeIn very usable but FinalDraft has enough extra features that I didn't mind paying extra. I've also had it crash a few times (Mac) so I have the autosave set to every 3 minutes. Sometimes I can't press enter after typing a character name and I've had a space or formatting issue where I can't get it back to normal without copy-pasting a previous passage in its place and typing over it. There are a little quirks that can be infuriating, though. you can see how much female characters speak compared to males). You can also see how much each character speaks, especially if you're concerned about diversity and all that (i.e. I love Final Draft overall, and it has some great unique features like being able to plan your beats and page lengths right above your pages in a toolbar. You can easily export that from FadeIn, but it is an extra step.Īlso, dude who created FadeIn is an actual writer. Other software for breakdowns, scheduling, and budgeting needs your script to be an fdx file. FinalDraft is a lot more proprietary.įinalDraft is still the industry default. I've been able to share files and collaborate with folks who don't use FadeIn. You can import/export files from FD, Celtx, Highland, Trelby, etc. ![]() But some folks find them really helpful.įadeIn is a lot more agnostic and stays compatible with other software. There's all sorts of peripheral story plotting tools that FadeIn doesn't have. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you finish school, FD will kick you off the student discount too.įinalDraft is a more robust program. And I think severely limits how many installs you can do. And sync seamlessly through dropbox.įinalDraft needs an update (for a price) every time you change something about your devices. I have in on a Mac desktop, a PC laptop, a Kindle Fire, an IPad. Paid $59 for it and another $5 for the mobile version years ago and haven't been asked for a penny more since.
