Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Choice of Hollywood Professionals
Are you a Hollywood professional or a first-time writer? Makes no difference: Movie Magic Screenwriter has virtually every feature invented to improve your writing process! Within minutes of opening the box, you'll experience the magic of a writing tool with stunningly intelligent design.

What Does a Script Formatter Do?
Writing scripts for film, television, and theater has traditionally been a time-consuming task. There are many elements in a script (i.e. scene headings, character names, dialogue, scene breaks, etc.) that must be correctly placed in your script. Following these conventions is essential in making sure your script is receiving proper attention from agents, producers and contests.

That's where a script formatting program comes in. Screenwriter works by your side, automatically formatting action, character name, dialog and other elements as you write your script. Even better, there are no function keys or special command keys to memorize-your fingers stay on the keyboard, always ready for creative thoughts to flow onto the page!

Why Movie Magic Screenwriter?
All writing tools are not created equal. Naturally, Screenwriter uses a simple TAB-ENTER system to quickly get your creative thoughts flowing into the computer. Screenwriter has index cards, script notes, simple entry of character names, spell-checking, and of course, smart margin changing. The comparison ends here.

Screenwriter alone has a full suite of internet features, such as real-time internet collaboration, online script registration, and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF format; superior production features, such as built-in script breakdown and detailed export to Movie Magic Scheduling; Script Analysis features; and the finest import and export facilities in the world of screenwriting.

I think my review sits squarely between the two other reviewers.

Honestly, MM is a very safe, solid program with intuitive tools. It is simple to use. Its features are genuinely useful. It IS used by a lot of people in the industry: normally either this or Final Draft.

I really think that if you're serious about screenwriting you should probably own this AND Final Draft (for compatibility) but that Movie Magic is probably the better of the two. Your director will almost certainly work with one or other program and using either software is better than sticking to MS Word and hoping the formatting will work (it won't).

I purchased this software to try out before I began a new project and unfortunately did not do my research before purchasing. I was completely unimpressed with its outdated interface and found none of my professional colleagues use the software (and never even heard of it), so it’s nearly impossible to write collaboratively on a project. I also realized it was called screenwriter 2000; but it seems it lost the “2000” because it has been over 5 years and it’s the same program. It will format your screenplay, but it’s not what everyone uses and it’s old stuff. Ask around, there are alternatives you should seriously consider.

Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 sets a new standard - it's hard to see how it can get much better. Without a doubt the most useful, flexible, and simple to use screenwriting software out there. No need to consider anything else.
