Screenwriter - Final Draft conversion
For anyone who's done the conversion... My original is in MM Screenwriter and the guy doing the budget/production breakdowns works in Final Draft. I don't see an "Export" option to FD format.
Does anyone know if there's a best format in which to send the script? Can FD do the conversion directly from MM source? I've got the latest MM, so the output files are .mmsw.

By the way the page & margin defaults are slightly different, so you'll get quite a variation in page count - so if the production says "page 56" it won't be page 56 on your end - unless you customize your marhins to approximate FD's (

I sold the script months ago it's the one that went to Tribeca with me and the director. So, no real news here.

Thanks! We're at that moment where everything looks rosy and all we're hearing is encouragement. Monday we go out to 6 actors who have expressed interest in particular roles, and about 30 producers who have said they
