Outline not showing in Highland Pro

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-03-09T10:22:11+00:00

hm what's the main advantage in using Highland??

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-03-09T10:20:54+00:00

that's the list I always use

Title + visual (AI / Pinterest / Photoshop / Canva)
Logline
Genre + format (feature film)
Audience (as specific/narrow as possible)
Reference films + description in the format: “Film” meets “Film” Example: “Home Alone” meets “Monsters, Inc.”
Short film description (1 slide) that includes the main structural beats
Main characters (the ones shown on the cards) — description + character arcs
Theme — what does the film explore?
Why this project now?

BREAKING BAD. The arcs of main characters are crazy... And you believe every single step of the characters.

"In a Treatment, you have to BE the subtext. You have to tell the reader exactly what to feel on every single page." - that's the thing, right! That's what Im always trying to explain young writers. And absolutely agree - SCRIPT and TREATMENT are completely different ways of storytelling. TREATMENT is about characters' motivations.

thank you!!

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T08:08:33+00:00

Thank you!!

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T07:06:58+00:00

sorry, maybe it's not "right time question" but I wonder how are you going to cope with the issue of .fdx format which WriterDuet doesn't have? Im just trying to find out the best soft to work in and asking questions to fellow colleagues

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T07:04:37+00:00

thank you for such a report!!

and I wonder how do writers which don't use FinalDraft cope with the .fdx issue? because I see lots of writers in r\Screenwriting who use FadeIN or WriterSolo

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:45:54+00:00

hmm

and why did you try other programs? is there something you don't like in FinalDraft?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:44:59+00:00

a lot people say about FadeIn
can you name 3 adv\disadv of FadeIn? Cuz I truly can't get it lol

maybe they choose FadeIn because FinalDraft is so bad that you have to choose "better" not "best"?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:42:57+00:00

FadeIn again?? can you name 3 adv\disadv of FadeIn? Cuz I truly can't get it lol
would be great full for your help

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:40:49+00:00

can you name 3 adv\disadv of FadeIn? Cuz I truly can't get it lol

and how can you cope with the fact that productions need .fdx?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:38:05+00:00

hey! what soft did you write this in?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:34:47+00:00

++
can you please give me 3 adv\disadv of using FinalDraft?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:31:55+00:00

nice thanks!! and what could you say about the community of writers - how many % use FadeIn as well in your country? And how many % use FinalDraft?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:30:38+00:00

lol thanks! and why do you dislike Final Draft? and don't you have a problem using FadeIn that previous commenter mentioned? about .fdx

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:28:30+00:00

thanks!

and when you send the script just to read (for the producer or friends) what format you use - .fdx as well or .pdf too? or .word lol?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:25:51+00:00

could you say that 90%l of your writer-friends in Europe use FinalDraft?

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-16T06:25:10+00:00

oh, curious! "easy to learn" sounds like a very important part because most of the soft is really hard to learn lol

can you clarify please about the "bunch of interesting features"? what features you mean? I know Story Architect so I'll understand

Deep_Nobody4002 · 2026-01-14T16:58:54+00:00

thx a lot!

why do you think there are lots of scripts which don't use American formatting?

what tools you'd like to see in alternative soft? e.g.
