"Mores and Continueds" in Screenplay?

Not sure if I simply can’t find the option for this or it isn’t implemented, but for a screenplay it’s a must to end a page with “MORE” and a “CONT’D” in the scene heading on the following page.

Am I supposed to buy Final Draft for that (there are some conspiracy theories :wink: )?

I don’t know about whether you need Final Draft or not, that probably depends on who you’re working with more than anything else (like many authors need Word). But you will need, however you get it, something that is more than just a writing tool to do the final page layout stuff. Scrivener itself isn’t, you could say, “aware” of pagination and so forth—and thus wouldn’t know where to put such markers. It’s mainly just meant to get you to the point where that stuff does matter.

I’ve been using FadeIn (fadeinpro.com/index.html) as a ‘finishing’ app instead of Final Draft – and it’s much cheaper :slight_smile:

It seems to do a good job of importing Final Draft documents (fdx) as well as Scrivener files (you have to do it document by document).

The document can also be exported to FInal Draft (fdx) format if that’s what you’re being asked for.

Hope that helps.

That’s too bad - having very little knowledge of Objective-C, I had hoped that due to all the page-setting-options there would be that “awareness”…

Thanks - they have a free trial version, I will take a look at that. But to just send a scene to s.o. this is quite some overkill… :cry: I consider doing the outlining in Scrivener and switch for writing to someting more lite, cloud-friendly and fountain-based.

Thanks for the thread. So far, the only reason I ever needed to step through Final Draft post Scrivener, is for the “Mores and Continueds”.

Shame that has to be the case, otherwise I’d never sully my workflow with it.
