Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Movie Outline was designed and developed by a produced screenwriter in order to take the complexity out of the process of creating a screenplay so that you can concentrate on your story without the technicalities of formatting a script or using complicated software hindering your creative flow.

Movie Outline helps both the novice and professional screenwriter develop their screenplay using the simple technique of step-outlining to build your story, characters and script scene by scene, allowing you to focus on your story's key events without losing sight of the bigger picture. With Movie Outline you can easily plan and customize your story structure, color-code acts, rearrange scenes, develop and track characters, format your screenplay to industry standard and gauge the progress of your own story to that of included outlines and analyses of successful Hollywood movies, allowing you to simultaneously compare your own narrative's pacing with the pros. What's more, Movie Outline is 100% cross-platform which means projects saved on Macintosh systems will appear identical when opened on Windows - and vice versa. Simply put, Movie Outline is the ultimate writer's tool.

Why is Movie Outline Unique? Movie Outline offers what no other screenwriting software can offer - an all-in-one screenplay development package that takes your initial idea from concept to professionally formatted script. By streamlining the creation process of each scene and structure as a whole, Movie Outline gives you the space to think and view your full outline while simultaneously working on individual scenes. The unique and powerful Reference feature allows you to assess your own story pacing in comparison to successful movies in the same genre and can be used with PowerView (to structure your script), Step Cards (to organize your story) and FeelFactors (to analyze the pacing and emotional impact of your narrative).

What else can Movie Outline be used for?

Although Movie Outline was designed for writing movies, television and stage plays, at its heart it is a fully-featured word processor and is extremely versatile, so it can be used for any number of writing disciplines such as novels, short stories, treatments, pitches or even dissertations, essays, resumes and project planning.

Good, good, good! 28 July 2010
By Hwelb
I wasn't sure which script-writing software to buy so I downloaded demo versions of the available choices - Movie Outline, Final Draft etc and found Movie Outline to be the best and as such bought the full version.

It's very easy to use and understand and is perfect for quickly setting up and writing your script. The software also has has considerable depth with regards to story development and character development by charting the course of your character through the story and by creating in-depth biographies for them. It is also possible to break your story down into bite-sized 'steps' which allow you to work at a less daunting pace and be more focused on the part of the story you're working on.

The only issue I've had with this software is that once my script gets to 50+ pages it begins to slow down quite conisderably. The software has an auto-complete function in which, for example, a list of character names are prepared for you so you don't need to keep writing them everytime they speak. However it is this feature which I find grinds to a halt when my script grows in size. I cannot. however, say whether this is the fault of the software or my computer.

All in all, if you want a good piece of scriptwriting software I would recommend Movie Outline.

movie outline 9 Jan 2010
I was very happy to receive Movie Outline quite fast and I started to use it immediately. The software is very simple to use and very good for writing screenplays and to export it in pdf format. I needed some help for a problem that I didn't understand and the people at Movie Outline very kindly and quickly helped me by phone to solve it. I was astonished by this fast reply to my problem, because nowadays companies often sell thing and do not care about what's happens afterward.

Having used Final Draft for a number of years I was reluctant to switch products and had every intention of just updating to the latest version. However after hunting around the web for a bit I came across Movie Outline and am really pleased that I did. This software goes that step further then simply helping format your script this takes you on the whole journey from initial idea through to the final screenplay. This is a an easy to use piece of software that takes away that feeling of being all on your own when writing.
