Can Fade In open Final Draft screenplays?


Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software can open a wide range of documents format, including Final Draft.

Final Draft version 8 (.fdx) documents can be imported and exported very easily, and most standard formatting aspects are retained.

Final Draft version 7 and earlier (.fdr) documents can be imported only but not exported.  Some additional reformatting may be necessary in Fade In after importing an .fdr document in order to correct misidentified elements, etc.  Margins, indentation, and other element styling is not retained.  (Unfortunately .fdr is an outdated, proprietary format, and Final Draft provides no support or information to third parties attempting to work with those files.)
