Movie Draft even estimates the current running time of your script - I don't know how accurate this tool is, but interesting nonetheless. To help Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter users make the transition, Movie Draft lets users choose Tab and Enter shortcuts to match those particular applications. Users can write multiple versions of a scene and hide previous versions without ever throwing them out in case they want to bring back a previous version in the future. Movie Draft touts its outlining capabilities that writers can use before they start their screenplays as well as its non-linear functionality with Single Scene Mode where writers can pen the ending or middle of their scripts before the beginning. NFS has already recognized the promise of another newcomer, Movie Draft, and this application fits nicely on this list with a price of $29.99. Since Trelby is open source, users with a background in coding can configure the application to suit their specific needs.

Trelby also provides watermarking for PDF files. Perhaps most notably, Trelby can import Final Draft (.fdx) and Celtx (.celtx) documents as well as export PDF, formatted text, Final Draft (.fdx), HTML and RTF files. Trelby also provides scene, location, dialogue and character reports, plus the ability to compare scripts. Trelby promotes a clean, simple, fast user interface that provides the basic tools a screenwriter needs to write a screenplay.

As always, users will need to check for formatting irregularities when going between the applications.ДЄ relative newcomer to the screenwriting software world, Trelby is also a free, open source, collaboratively developed application for screenwriters currently available on Windows and Linux (sorry, OSX users however, if you code and want to port it to OSX, Trelby is looking for you).

The big question: can you export to Final Draft? Oddly enough, Final Draft's own knowledge base provides step-by-step instructions to show Celtx users how to import text files generated from Celtx into Final Draft.

Yet, even if you paid for the full suite of products (with the one exception of the premium cloud subscription service that costs $5.99/month or $49.99/year - and a free Celtx cloud service exists), you would pay no more than $27 for virtually everything Celtx has to offer. Celtx has found ways to monetize its product through mobile script, scouting and storyboard apps, a desktop writer's pack add-on, and premium cloud-based tools. Here at NFS, we have recommended Celtx repeatedly to new users of screenwriting software as a great way to get started, not to mention the availability of a plethora of tutorials and an active user community to provide support. Today, for filmmakers not willing to shell out between $190 and $250 for professional screenwriting software, here are five options ranging from free to $49.95.ДЄrguably the most prolific screenwriting software (2,000,000 users in 170 countries in 34 languages according to its website), Celtx is free, runs on OSX, Windows and Linux, and has expanded into several areas of pre-production tools. Plus, as a production assistant, I was given a copy of Final Draft to type up script revisions for a writer married to his typewriter, so I had an easy entry point with the industry standard. Why? Because when I started to write scripts, you had three choices for software: Final Draft, Movie Magic Screenwriter, or Microsoft Word. Full disclosure: I write my scripts on Final Draft.

In the industry, Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter dominate among screenwriting software applications.
