Final Draft AV 2.5 now includes specialised script editing

Final Draft, Inc. has announced the release of Final Draft AV, version 2.5, a significant upgrade to their self-contained, full-featured word processor specifically designed for dual-column, audio-visual scriptwriting.
The dual-column format is used by professionals and consumers who write and produce commercials, documentaries, industrial films, DV shorts and other non-linear scripted material. Final Draft AV 2.5 includes the revolutionary new Rearrange Guide Line as well as expanded importing and exporting capabilities to assist with non-creative collaborators during the script approval process.
Available immediately, Final Draft AV 2.5 ships with both Windows and Macintosh platforms on a single CD. Retail price is $199 or $49 for registered users of previous versions.
“People tell us that before AV they used to spend more time formatting their scripts than creating them,” said Marc Madnick, President and CEO of Final Draft, Inc. “With Final Draft AV, you can create a blueprint for a production in a fraction of the time it would take to create using a standard word processor.”
The difference between AV and other standard word processors is its unique ability to line up content in the video and audio columns and keep it aligned throughout the creative process.
