Well they kept us waiting long enough and kept what was going to be new a closely guarded secret over there at Final Draft HQ.
I just had a quick scan through the new features and frankly I'm a little underwhelmed. Why boast about a new improved courier font when full screen mode is STILL unavailable.
You can upgrade now for 63euro (from Movie Soft*) till the end of June other wise its close to 80 or buy new for a whopping 200 quid.
For those of you new to Final Draft, I can't recommend it enough, its intuitive, easy to navigate and frankly works at the speed of thought. And is the industry standard.
I love this program and I will more than likely upgrade in due course, but after waiting so long for this new version I'm pretty disappointed from what I've read in the new features.
I so had my fingers crossed for full screen mode, but alas no.
Final Draft people if you're reading this, how 'bout this simple little extra for version 8.1 huh?
* quick note about moviesoft. Small company in Dun Laoghaire. When I first bought Final Draft a few years ago, it was from them. I ordered off their site, they called me up and said they would be heading into town later. They drove to where I work, I handed over the cash, they gave me my software with a free tutorial DVD thrown in for good measure. Now thats personal service!
I'll be ordering my upgrade from them.
