Final Draft Review

Final Draft is an on-premise software designed to help professional screenwriters and directors create, edit and manage drafts for comics, teleplays, graphic novels, plays, scripts and more through a unified portal. The application allows teams to visualize, outline, brainstorm, report and collaborate on writing projects.
The solution includes a beat board, which allows users to plot points, position ideas and character arcs, add stylized images and text, connect elements using flow lines, and share information with team members for discussion. Its ScriptNotes feature allows authors to mark lines between drafts and view and edit tags. Other features include night and focus mode, speech on script, image uploading, and more.
