Screenwriter is exactly what is needed to produce professional-level screenplays for the film and TV industries. It leaves the writer free to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the complicated method of getting tech support (having to call a phone number and hoping someone will be available to help me. and their lunch hours remind me of lunch hours in Portugal. it's like they close up shop for a couple of hours! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find it user-friendly and like the format and numerous features that really let you customize your screenplay. I was able to license a copy for my collaborator to use and our editing experience was seamless even though he had never used Movie Magic before. I particularly like the ease of formatting. Although I don't use all the features, I get my work done quickly and easily with this program because it meets my particular needs. I've tried other programs, including Final Draft, which I also have, but prefer this Movie Magic. Ultimately, it's all about user experience and perception, but personally, I highly recommend Movie Magic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spellcheck could be better. Doesn't add certain words/names to dictionary. This would be helpful to me because I write science fiction and horror. Watermark setup can also be a little complicated. I sometimes have to revise a couple of times so it shows correctly in screenplay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I adore the manner in which Movie Magic Screenwriter makes it simple to compose the contents. It essentially arranges it for you. It is anything but difficult to utilize and extremely down to earth. In any case, my preferred thing is the manner by which the product auto finishes the words for you. It makes everything so natural and smooth. It cuts around 20% of the time you would spend on the off chance that you composed everything yourself. The auto-spare component is magnificent also. At the point when my PC chooses to crash, it spares my life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't generally like the way that when you reorder the arranging is all wrong, and it truly disturbs me when I endeavor to alter it, and the program either deletes, or composes over what you recently composed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to learn. Tried and tested. While not popular anymore compared to the likes of Final Draft, it's a solid software for screenwriting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because it's so old and rarely updated, the UI and UX is clunky compared to other things that are available. However, it's simple enough that I stick with it to get my money's worth. After all, I'm just using it for process words and format them into a screenplay. Why would I need bells and whistles? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that this software dovetails with other MM production software makes it very useful if you're trying to set up a production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Feels more intuitive for windows than Mac. Color coding can get confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about movie magic screen writer is that you can collaborate with as many fellow riders and each one could make as many edits to the script as they won and we all stay on the same page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I do this like about it though is that it does have competition from other software is which are better updated such as final draft Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the way Movie Magic Screenwriter makes it easy to write the scripts. It basically formats it for you. It is very easy to use and very practical. But my favorite thing is how the software auto completes the words for you. It makes everything so easy and smooth. It cuts around 20% of the time you would spend if you wrote everything yourself. The auto-save feature is awesome as well. When my computer decides to crash, it saves my life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don not really like the fact that when you copy and paste the formatting is all wrong, and it really bothers me when I try to edit it, and the program either erases, or writes over what you previously wrote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having used Movie Magic Screenwriter in several versions, it wasn't until the NaviDoc that I truly fell in love with the program. Being able to have a quick reference to all my locations and characters makes writing a script that much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish that Write Brothers, the publishers of the software, would create a mobile version that would interface with the Desktop version. That said, I have little complaints. I've used at least five different screenwriting programs and, aside from Final Draft, have yet to find one as feature rich and easy to use as this Movie Magic Screenwriter.
