Montage 1.5.4 - Screenwriting Software for Macintosh OS X

Create, Write, and Submit Scripts for Film, TV, and Theater.

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.

CURRENT VERSION - 1.5.4
This is a FREE upgrade for all Montage 1.0 customers.

Cocoa-built, Universal, and Accessible
Montage has been designed and developed solely for Mac OS X. As a long-time Apple developer (18 years), our commitment to Apple technology is reflected in our feature set. Montage is Intel-ready and fully supports accessibility features for users with vision disabilities. Developing in Cocoa also lets us take 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.

We've made it easy for you.

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.

What could be simpler than that?

What's that? You say you have a writing partner who needs to work in Final Draft (for some bizarre reason!)...we can help there too. Have the ease of creating your work in Montage's intuitive and elegant interface AND the convenience of saving your Montage script as a Final Draft file format (.fdr). Another Montage-exclusive feature!

Simple is king
So you have a great idea for a movie, now what? It's a stumbling block every newbie faces. Screenwriting software needs to be intuitive and easy. With Montage, it's as simple as point and click. Industry-standard, pre-formatted templates lay out the road map on "how" to write, you just need to supply the imagination.

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.

The tool to write...and then some
One of the most difficult steps to the "I want to write a movie" scenario is not necessarily the creation of the script, but getting it into the proper hands when it's complete. Now, it would be foolish to guarantee a six figure movie deal or a primetime television contract just by using Montage...but why not improve your odds? Montage helps you build a query letter and then provides you the ability to submit and track your query, synopsis, or scripts to hundreds of included industry contacts, including managers, agents, and production companies.
