"Getting video and audio columns aligned is tedious work. Final Draft A/V eliminates that ordeal and lets me focus on simply writing the script."
Andy Field - Writer/Producer/Correspondent
ABC News, PBS, etc...
For years, the creative minds of advertising, documentary and industrial filmmakers, news and speechwriters have had to suffer through the rigors of standard word processors and graphics programs to generate a single professional-looking audio/video script... until now.
From the publishers of the premiere screenwriting software, Final Draft?, comes Final Draft AV, a full-featured word processor specifically designed for multi-column, audio/video scriptwriting.
It combines powerful word processing with a variety of industry-standard formats, all in one self-contained, easy-to-use system.
Final Draft AV lines up multiple audio/video columns automatically and keeps them aligned when text is added, edited or deleted. There are no complicated commands to learn, no frustrating text boxes to deal with.
Whether you are creating a 60-second commercial, a 15-second radio spot, a half-hour speech or a four-hour training film, Final Draft AV's ease of use allows you to focus on writing, so you don't have to worry about style or placement of text. Packed with all the features you demand, Final Draft AV will have you writing in no time.
Features
Automatic Formatting
Paragraphs stay aligned as you type. When you add text to a VIDEO paragraph the matching paragraph in the AUDIO column automatically stays with it. You never have to retype, rearrange or repaginate manually.
Importing
Turn scripts you've previously created in any word-processing program into professionally-formatted, dual column scripts with ease.
Customizable Header/Footer
Add, rename or delete the fields in the customizable Header. Label the top or bottom of each page with the page number, revision, date, title, episode--anything information you need.
100% Cross-Platform Compatibility
Scripts look and operate identically on either Windows or Macintosh platforms; formatting and pagination, commands and keystrokes match completely. Scripts created on one computer will look the same on other computers.
