• Added a new Musical (Forest) template
• Tweaked the Screenplay (Screenwriter) template
• Numerous bug fixes
"Montage 1.3 is an accumulation of over a year's worth of development effort," said Michael Wray, President of Mariner Software. "Not only does it introduce an industry-first feature in the ability to save a Montage script to a Final Draft file format, it also reinforces Mariner's commitment to the world of screenwriting beyond the English language. Montage 1.3 now supports five different languages."

Montage makes it easy to create, edit, and manage screenplays on a Macintosh. From the ability to import and export Final Draft or text documents, to using custom, pre- formatted templates for film, TV, and theater, to the time-saving Smart Views, Montage guides both the first time screenwriter or the seasoned veteran, from start to finish.
But Montage doesn't stop there.
Once a script is complete, Montage allows the user the ability to submit, track, and send a query, synopsis, and scripts to hundreds of included industry contacts through Montage's integration with Apple's Address Book.
