Final draft Oct 30, 2014

Very interesting! Rather a lover of screenwriting than a skilled one, I mostly use the free version of Celtx, because of the charge of Final Draft...do this webinar help me as a beginner screnplay even if I'd hardly buy FD?
Thannk you in advance.

Hi leucotea,
Great question! I will be talking about Final Draft because it's the industry standard, meaning it's the tool used by most of the authors you will work with. About 25% of the webinar will be specifically about the software. The rest of the time we will be talking about structure/formatting and language issues.
Thanks for the question, hope this helps!
Elizabeth

Script translation Nov 21, 2014

Hey Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for your extremely interesting and hands on course. I am now considering purchasing Final Draft and also realize how unprofessional MS Word would be in relation Scripts in Final Draft.

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your comment. If you aren't translating screenplays regularly, you might want to consider the less expensive options as well. Celtx and Fade In have good reviews, I haven't seen as much about Trelby.
Glad you enjoyed the webinar!
Elizabeth
