Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software is a complete application for writing motion picture screenplays, including tools for outlining, organizing, navigating, and collaborating, plus extensive screenplay formatting and robust tools for managing rewrites and revisions.
Fade In's modern, state-of-the-art application interface does everything professional screenwriters need and expect their software to do. Its extensive formatting capabilities take care of formatting for you, automatically transitioning from scene headings to action to dialogue as you type. It includes a full range of standard screenplay styles: you can use the built-in default styles, customize them, or create your own. The software keeps track of the character names and locations you use and can provide as-you-type autocompletion suggestions. Spend less time typing and more time writing.
You can organize your screenplay however you like, marking and color-coding significant sequences, plot points, themes, characters, and other story elements so you'll always have a clear overview of your work. Use the Navigator to quickly move around your script and reorder scenes.
Use advanced writing capabilities such as the built-in Dialogue Tuner to view and edit all of a character’s dialogue in one place.
• Production tools - Manage revisions, page locking, scene locking, omitted scenes and more. Easily generate industry standard script breakdowns and production reports.
• No distractions - A page-only, no-distractions, full-screen mode allows you to concentrate on the most important thing: writing.
• Fade In Access - Integrates with Fade In's optional online service for cloud storage, backup, version history, online editing, collaboration, sharing, and publishing.
• Support for multiple file formats - Importing and exporting multiple file formats is easy with support for everything from text to HTML to XML. Opening, editing and saving Final Draft documents is a snap — as is importing and exporting Rich Text Format (.rtf), such as from Movie Magic Screenwriter, and opening Celtx files.
• Open file format - Unlike screenwriting applications that use a proprietary binary storage format, Fade In uses the Open Screenplay Format: a straightforward, XML-based file format for saving your scripts, providing maximum accessibility, compatibility, and future-proofing.
• And more:
Output directly to PDF. Batch generate securely watermarked copies. Customize the application layout. Edit your title page. Insert images. Add sticky notes. Easily modify page layout and formatting elements. Live spell-checking, custom user dictionaries, language tools, and integrated help.

The Best Screenwriting App Out There!

I love the fact that it handles .fdx as well as .fountain documents, which makes my life super easy. Add to that a clean, responsive ui that works on any sized screen with no floating panes and all of the production features I’m looking for. One tiny complaint, though - the “fullscreen” mode isn’t really. It still buts up against the dock and menubar, and I can’t swipe to and away like I can other fullscreen apps. Other than that, awesome!
Solid, straightforward functionality

Fade In works as you would expect. It provides all the tools you need to write your screenplay. It hands you what you need and gets out of the way. The tech support is also outstanding. As a tech enthusiast myself, I especially appreciate the functionality and the choices that were made in its design. After trying many screenwriting apps, I am sticking with Fade In.
crash is fixed, this software is great

I am a long time Final Draft user, and let me tell you I am hooked on Fade In. The price tag is rediculously low for the power this software brings. Not only is it good for the price, but it is good for any price. It is flat out the best script writing software I have used. Also the customer support is great. The developer has gotten back to every email I ahve sent him with a satisfying response and not just the usual corporate BS response of “This is possible. Thank you for your email”. Trust me, give it a try. If you’re on the fence, try the free version. I am confident you won’t be disapointed.disclaimer:I’m sure I sound like an employee leaving a review. But I herby promise and agree to be legally bound by my testimony that I am in no way affiliated with this program other than being a dedicated and happy customer and user of it. I received no money or any other perks for this review. I just love the program and want to spread the word. With a world of fake reviews out there, i felt this statement was important to make clear.
