I have not requested a commission before and am open to suggestions on how to ensure you receive the money/retainer before starting any work and before sending me a final product. I'll send the rest of the money before you provide me with a final draft. After the first hour's work I'm hoping we can discuss the draft. Once selected, I will send $20 upfront with Zelle or your preferred payment method. If you have a portfolio of circuit art, constellations, or anything similar to what I'm asking that would help me select you. The circuit side will hopefully have the square off center and the number 214 in the square. I'd like the constellation side to highlight the star Antares and something resembling this scorpion constellation: I combined two images that kind of illustrate my idea: I like the glowing lines and the blue in my mockup. One half is pretty like constellations and the other is circuitry. On the bright side for anyone interested buy Final Draft, the new price basically is $149.99.Can you please turn my mockup into an image I can get converted to a 3"x5" graphic? The goal is to email it to a company so it can be turned into a velcro patch.

If they say it's only a scare tactic, and they really can do what they say, they've shaken the trust of paying customers. This type of malware forces its victims to pay the ransom through certain online payment methods in order to grant access to their systems, or to get their data back.įinal Draft can't win this one. Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their system. It's turns Final Draft into the industry standard ransomware screenwriting software. WriterDuet and Fade In can probably expect an uptick in licences because of this one. I read the fadeinsoftware's tweet about it, and the people who commented on it are basically thinking exactly what 120_pages is thinking. This is worse than the Writer X debacle they pointed out on Scriptnotes Episode 194 a while ago. I think it's brilliant point out your competitor's own words and screen shot from their website against them. I'm not a fan of Final Draft, but this is a bigger mistake than their appearance on Scriptnotes. You have reached this page because your copy of Final Draft is not authentic. Your files have been locked for safekeeping. Protect your scripts with an authentic copy of Final Draft 9. You can see the difference in the image Fade In tweeted and what is linked to on Final Draft's webpage.

Until they reassure us that there is no malicious code hiding in Final Draft 9, I'm going to recommend that screenwriters use other software for important work.ĮDIT: Final Draft has changed the images. I don't know if Final Draft is really messing with user data files, or if it's just marketing BS to scare the pirates into buying a legit copy. If the capability exists, it can be triggered by accident by a bug, or maliciously by a hack. It disturbs me to think that they may have built in a hidden trap that could accidentally confiscate my work files. Those of you who have read my posts in the past know I'm a paying Final Draft user. Has anyone here been subjected to this? Did FD actually make your FD files unusable? Did they lock/hide/encrypt them so you couldn't open them with another app? On Twitter, Final Draft said that this screen is only shown to people who pirate their software.


Recently, Final Draft competitor FadeIn posted this link to the Final Draft store, which says that the user's files have been "locked for safekeeping" until they pay final Draft for a legit copy of the software.
