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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-j-elisberg/the-writers-workbench-scr_b_1341785.html |title=The Writers Workbench: Screenwriting Software |website=The Huffington Post |access-date=18 March 2016}} The program's importance was highlighted by an Academy Award for technical achievement in 1994. Scriptor later purchased ScriptThing, another screenwriting program, which was combined into Movie Magic Screenwriter. The program was considered an industry standard, along with Final Draft.
The Mac version of Screenwriter won a Macworld Editor's Choice Award for the year 2000.{{Cite web |url=http://www.macworld.com/news/2001/01/09/eddys/index.php |title=Editors Choice Award Winners announced |website=Macworld |access-date=18 March 2016}} From 2003 to 2006, Screenwriter was the script-writing team's preferred tool on the popular BBC series Doctor Who.{{cite magazine |author= |title=The Final Draft |magazine=Doctor Who Magazine |issue=57, Special Edition: Writing Doctor Who |page=49 |date=29 April 2021 |quote=During the first two seasons of the revived Who, the production team favoured Movie Magic Screenwriter, which is now defunct, leaving many of those scripts in a generally inaccessible format.}}
