View Full Version : Final Draft - FADE IN: John Locke February 16th, 2003, 04:27 PM Has anyone noticed that every single screenplay style template for Final Draft aligns FADE IN: on the right? Yet every book on screenwriting aligns it on the left? Anyone know why FD does that? Is that considered more current? Richard Alvarez February 16th, 2003, 09:22 PM I have no idea, I use Scriptware. It aligns it on the left, where every script I've ever seen puts it. FADE OUT goes on the right though... Bill Rob Lohman February 17th, 2003, 10:55 AM Which version are you using, John? Because I cannot seem to remember it being on the right in version 5. John Locke February 17th, 2003, 05:18 PM Rob, I'm using the newest version for Mac OSX...6.0.4.1. I went through and created a new blank screenplay from each of the templates provided, Cole & Haag, Warner Bros, etc...and every single one puts "FADE IN:" aligned right. It doesn't seem to distinguish between FADE IN: and the formatting for other transitions such as CUT TO: John Locke May 19th, 2009, 03:15 PM Anyone comes across this post and still wants to know the answer... With Final Draft, you need to change "FADE IN:" from a "Transition" to a "General" entry to align it left. |
