FINAL DRAFT VERSION 7 AVAILABLE New Software Release Empowers Creativity with Flexible Panels System and Includes Tagger – the Final Draft Breakdown Utility March 25, 2004 – Los Angeles, CA Marc Madnick, President and CEO of Final Draft, Inc. announced today the release of Final Draft Version 7. Recognized as the Hollywood standard professional scriptwriting software, Version 7 delivers enhanced writing tools and a new script element breakdown utility. Fully compatible with Windows and Macintosh platforms, Final Draft Version 7 is available at www.finaldraft.com and at selected retailers worldwide. Delivering a comprehensive upgrade to an already solid scriptwriting software platform, Final Draft Version 7 introduces the Panels System, a suite of new organization and development tools for the writer. Central to the Panels System, the new Summary Card feature can be used to develop story-lines, check dialogue consistency, note development ideas, track sequence markers, and keep notes on any aspect of writing and production. Another facet of the Panels System is Navigator. This tool allows the writer to review scene headings and quickly navigate to a specific scene. With the introduction of the Panels System, writers now have the capability to tailor the screen display and more effectively manage workflow. “Writers can view the script in one panel and Summary Cards in a second panel. They also have the flexibility to view Act 1 of the script in one panel and Act III in another,” said Frank Colin, Vice President of Product Development. Peter Iliff, Writer’s Guild of America member for 18 years and Screenwriter of Point Break, Patriot Games, Varsity Blues and Under Suspicion said, “Final Draft 7 is spectacular. It lets me develop my story on summary cards, and then allows me to see the cards and my script pages at the same time. With Version 7, they’ve moved from a software that formats your work, to one that actually helps you write better.” Also new to Final Draft Version 7 is Tagger. This powerful application enables users to “tag” script elements and export the results into scheduling and breakdown software. Previously producers, directors and production managers manually reviewed paper scripts with highlighters. With Final Draft Version 7, Tagger quickly accomplishes this task electronically. A full demo and walk-thru are available on-line at www.finaldraft.com. Current Final Draft users can download the Version 7 upgrade before April 30, 2004 for $59.00 (US) and $89.00 (US) thereafter. Final Draft Version 7 is available worldwide for $229.00 (US). About Final Draft, Inc: # # # MEDIA CONTACT |
