History
Stephen Greenfield and Chris Huntley created Scriptor, one of the earliest screenplay writing programs, that worked by converting word processor documents into screenplay style.[1] The program's importance was highlighted by an Academy Award for technical achievement in 1994.[1] Scriptor later purchased ScriptThing, another screenwriting program, which was combined into Movie Magic Screenwriter.[1] The program was considered an industry standard, along with Final Draft.[1]
The Mac version of Screenwriter won a Macworld Editor's Choice Award for the year 2000.[2] From 2003 to 2006, Screenwriter was the script-writing team's preferred tool on the popular BBC series Doctor Who.[3]
