I just got a imac and am looking for the best software for scriptwriting. Anyone have any recommendations?

1. I am a pretty advanced mac user, but...

I have NEVER had a reason to write script.

What are you trying to do?

2. For Filmmaking

I'm trying to write a script. I've heard of finaldraft, but not sure if its any good. Though perhaps there were other screenwriters here on DU.

3. well, You might want to look at Automator

It has a lot of neat capabilities, sort of makes scripting easier, and you can save your automator actions for future use if you want.

There are also websites that have tons of user created actions for download.

Here is a link to the Google Search to a bunch of sites:

7. Mariner writes really good Macintosh software.

I would check it out.. And they have a free demo. I actually used MarinerWrite for all my papers during the first couple years of college.
