Compatibility & release status
The Apple Silicon Mac beta is coming soon, with Windows planned. Join the launch list for availability. Downloads and purchases are not open yet.
FDX import is the intended launch path for existing Final Draft scripts. Full revision/version-history transfer, guaranteed edited round trips and exact page-for-page parity are deferred. Keep your original and review imported work.
Our current build exports storyboard PDFs and silent WebM animatics. Previs Pro’s AR, FaceCap/PoseCap, animated-camera and MP4/NLE workflows are not covered. Each app has its own strengths; Page & Frame does not include every feature of these specialist tools.
Purchase, AI & project privacy
The announced price is US$69.99 at launch and US$99.99 regular. The planned one-time purchase covers one computer and lifetime use of the purchased major version and its updates; future major upgrades may cost extra. Applicable tax is added at checkout when sales open. Optional AI usage is billed separately by your provider.
Core writing and planning use local project files. Optional AI uses your own provider key, sends the requested material to that provider and may incur separate charges. The launch list stores your email and platform preference, not your screenplay.
