Fade In is a useful screenwriting application for writing motion picture screenplays, including tools for organizing, outlining and navigating, plus extensive screenplay formatting and robust tools for managing rewrites and revisions.
NOTE: To buy Fade In via the AppStore an Apple account is required.
Here are some key features of "Fade In":
· Fully featured application interface - It features a universal, state-of-the-art application interface. It does everything professional screenwriters need and expect their software to do, and it does it on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux — providing an optimal experience no matter what platform you use. (Fade In Mobile is also available for iPhone, iPad, and Android.)
· Extensive formatting capabilities - The software takes care of script 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. Everything you'd expect from a word processing application is only a mouse-click or keystroke away.
· Autocomplete typing - The software keeps track of the character names and locations you use and can provide as-you-type autocompletion suggestions. The lists of characters and locations can be customized, sorted, and rebuilt. There are also autocomplete lists for scene intros (INT., EXT., etc.), scene times (DAY, NIGHT, etc.) and more. Spend less time typing and more time writing.
· Organization and navigation - You're not limited to organizing your screenplay by scenes and index cards. You can organize it and color-code it however you like, marking 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.
· Support for multiple file formats - Importing and exporting multiple file formats is easy with support for everything from text to HTML to Open Screenplay Format XML. Opening, editing and saving Final Draft (.fdx) documents is a snap — as is importing (and exporting) Rich Text Format (.rtf), such as from Movie Magic Screenwriter or older versions of Final Draft, and opening Celtx files.
· Revisions - A necessity for a professional screenwriter during the rewriting process is being able to manage revisions, page locking, scene locking, omitted scenes and more. You can even view and edit modified pages on colored "paper" in any one of multiple standard revision colors.
· Breakdowns and reports - Easily generate industry standard script breakdowns and production reports. Standard reports include scenes, cast, locations, and more. Reports can be printed or saved as HTML or generic comma-separated values for import into other applications.
· 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 Android. Fade In Mobile allows you to import your scripts from Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software, edit them on your device, then export them again without any loss of content.
· Cloud storage - Save your scripts via an online service and access them from anywhere.
· Open file format - Unlike screenwriting applications that use a proprietary binary storage format, Fade In uses the Open Screenplay Format: a straightforward, application-agnostic XML-based file format for saving your scripts, providing maximum accessibility, compatibility, and future-proofing.
