I would like it as well, as I'm sure would many producers working on television documentaries, which almost all use left/right columns. I think there's a bigger market out there and that you miss a great many by only thinking in terms of "AV" or "Corporate."

I've been writing and producing documentaries for decades and really would appreciate you all upgrading this format. I would use it then. As it is now it's just not worth the effort.

I'm anxiously awaiting this feature as well. Any word on an ETA?

Any update on this feature? This would be the thing that makes me completely abandon Final Draft AV.

Thanks.

Hi,

Features you have mentioned are not available for AV and multicolumn scripts and I am afraid you will have to have your script in screenplay or teleplay format to make use of them. That said, instead of retyping the whole thing please try a simple copy paste of your script first, that should maintain most of the formatting and make your job much easier.

Supporting these features for column scripts is present in our backlog but it ould take time for us to reach there. Let us know if you face any other issues.

Apologies for the inconvenience you faced.

Thanks

Rashi

Have a script for an animation, written in AV format, so that specific shots and dialog can be sync'd. However, I can't generate any lists or reports anything from this AV script. Want to make a breakdown of all locations, all characters, and all other tagged assets (I can't tag anything in this format either). Is this going to be addressed or do I have to duplicate work by writing things out in a screenplay or teleplay format (less useful for this type of project) just to get the breakdowns created? If I do have to do the latter, is there a way to convert AV to screenplay without just retyping the whole thing?
