Montage 1.5 - Screenwriting Software for Macintosh OS X

Introducing Montage.
The only screenwriting software exclusively developed for Mac OS X. Melding the theory that a simple user interface, combined with powerful and intuitive features, provide the best writing experience, Montage makes it easy to create, edit, and manage screenplays on your Macintosh. From the ability to import and export Final Draft documents, to using custom, pre-formatted templates for film, TV, and theater, Montage guides both the first time screenwriter or the seasoned veteran, from start to finish.

But Montage doesn't stop there.

Once your masterpiece is complete, Montage allows you to submit, track, and send your query, synopsis, and scripts to hundreds of included industry contacts through Montage's integration with Apple's Address Book. A Montage-only feature throughout the industry.

Montage is available in the following languages:
· English  · French  · Italian  · German  · Spanish

Cocoa-built, Universal, and Accessible
Montage has been designed and developed solely for Mac OS X. Montage is Intel-ready and fully supports accessibility features for users with vision disabilities. Montage takes advantage of Apple OS X functionality, such as Address Book integration, Spotlight and Services support, and other OS X-specific core features.

Have Final Draft, will travel
Let's face it, Final Draft screenwriting software has been the industry leader for many years. For some users, a transition to a new screenwriting tool would be both challenging and intimidating. Montage makes it easy.

Montage includes a built-in Final Draft importer which allows you to drag and drop your Final Draft documents right on Montage and have them open in the Montage format AND the convenience of saving your Montage script as a Final Draft file format (.fdr). Another Montage-exclusive feature!

View your script from every angle
Viewing your script from different perspectives is critical. Montage provides several different views: Live outline view, script view, character view, locations view, research and notes view, and tasks view. Our pride and joy, the live outline view, allows you to write your script unlike any other screenwriting software by helping you make scenes, add characters to those scenes, and take notes, without actually writing the script. And to top things off, Montage Smart Views even allow writers to visually filter the script to the desired content, based on criteria.

Reviews
"But what InDesign is to page layout, Montage may well be to scriptwriting. Mariner's alternative is better looking, better organised and (masterstroke) perfectly happy opening up native Final Draft scripts."  MacUser UK, August 2006

"...good buy and recommended, especially for someone new to screenplay writing"
MacCompanion, May 2007

"If you're looking to get that million-dollar spec script out of your head and onto the page, Montage 1.4's intuitive interface, streamlined outlining approach, and powerful editing tools could be just what the director ordered."  Macworld Magazine, May 2008
