"Movie Magic is my screenwriting program of choice"

5/5

What do you like best about Movie Magic Screenwriter?

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.

What do you dislike about Movie Magic Screenwriter?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Movie Magic Screenwriter:

A solid, user-friendly program. Easy to learn and easier to use than other screenwriting programs. I like the screen display options. I'd like to see an improved spellchecker that allows the saving of names and made up words. Watermark setup can also be somewhat time-consuming. I'd like a good grammar check for a cleaner edit.
