Description
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. And it works with Fade In Mobile for your iPhone or iPad.
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.
• Real-time multiuser collaboration - Work on the same document at the same time with other co-writers, no matter where they are.
• 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.
• 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.
• Get mobile - Work on the go with Fade In Mobile, available separately for iPhone, iPad and more.
• Cloud storage - Save your scripts via an online service and access them from anywhere.
• Enhanced for Retina displays with high-density text rendering
• 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.

Ratings and Reviews
K.I.S.S.
As a producer once said to me, Keep It Simple Stupid.
And that's what Fade In does briliantly so you just get on with the business of writing, in an modern, uncluttered environment.
Fantastic value for money.
Easily the best scriptwriting software out there
I’ve used Final Draft, Celtx and various Word.Doc Templates. After using Fade In I won’t be going back to any of them. Here’s why:
Final Draft: very expensive, cumbersome, ugly interface, overloaded with features you don’t need, living off its reputation.
Celtx: in order to make some money, the owners have gone to a cloud subscription level that is way overpriced. Fewer features than Fade In.
Word templates: make you want to tear your hair out because they never quite work.
Fade In has everything you need and nothing more. It’s elegant, extremely intuitive (neither description could be applied to Final Draft) and comparatively inexpensive. It syncs straightforwardly with iPad version via Dropbox. It is a joy to work with in every respect.
If you want scriptwriting software that does the job well, without fancy-schmanzy storyboarding, scene indexing and all the crud that Steven Spielberg may need, but those of us who just need to get our ideas into scripts, and easily, do not, then this is for you.
A few issues. There’s no live word count (or if there is I can’t find it): this needs to be fixed. There are only four templates. I’m sure these issues will be addressed in updates.
Finally, there’s a trial version to experiment with before you buy. What more could you ask for ?
