Mariner Software’s Montage is affordable screenwriting software that is easy to use and works well with Final Draft. What’s unique about this application is that it includes a comprehensive contact list of Hollywood studios, production companies and agencies. However, it’s a little too inspired by Final Draft,
Ease of Use:However, we wouldn’t recommend choosing this app over Final Draft, because it does lack key rewriting tools that are commonly found on more robust screenwriting software.
Writing & Rewriting Features:There are several different viewing and writing options in the View pane, located on the left side of the user interface. These include Script (where you write), Scenes (to focus on one scene at a time), Outline (helps to build the script), Characters (develops and organizes characters) and others.
There’s also a full-screen mode to keep distractions to a minimum, so you can stay focused on scriptwriting. The screenwriting software can also import a variety of documents, such as Final Draft, text or rich text.
Be forewarned that if you’re using Montage and your collaborator is on Final Draft, after a while the formatting will start to get out of whack as you constantly convert to-and-from .montage and .fdr.
It’s easy to do rewrites to an existing screenplay, especially if a film is in production and on-set rewrites are needed. You can color-code new pages according to the date so the cast and crew can have the latest version.
However, there could be a few extra revision tools that can help keep better track of the rewrites.
