I use the bbc's free download - Scriptsmart. It's pretty decent... plus its got other formats like TV drama, TV sitcom, comic book and radio drama in case you want to branch out. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi,

I've recently started using Pinnacle Edition 4.5 for editing. It's a breath of fresh air to use. For many years I've been using Premiere, and am a big fan but Edition takes the crown in my opinion. Edition is certainly better for long projects.

There is a trial version available of Edition. It's not time limited, it is the full version. The only thing the trial version does do is watermark your final output. I would certainly recommend trying it.

Well, the only software I've ever used for editing is Adobe Premier 6.0; I jumped straight from editing on a pair of VCR's (those were the days) right to Adobe Premier. I can't imagine anything being much better.

Screenplay-
Hollywood Screenplay SuperPro
FinalDraft 5.0

I prefere using Superpro cos im lazy and it more of the formatting automaticly. That said, i think FD is easier to go back and alter, i keep fvcking up my format when i add extra dialogue and what not.

Anyways...

Editing-
Pinnacle studio 7

For simple editing and nothing fancy this thing is nice to use. Ive read lots about it crashing and stuff tho so i think i might change.

I just write in Word, i think ill try to download something with kazaa?

I find editing (especially 'cutting') easiest with the standard windows xp program, windows movie maker. Then again, cutting is like the only thing you can do.

I use pinnacle studio 8, but the **** program makes me download the upgrade and pay 50$ for it! thats a lame ripoff i tell ya. you think you buy a program, but you only buy half and you have to pay for the other half. I want slow motion on my effects man.
