Here’s the fast path to hand a clean .fdx file to collaborators while drafting in Fountain.
1) Import your Fountain file
Open the Editor and choose Upload Script. Select your .fountain. ScriptForge parses it into blocks.
2) Tidy & verify
- Use the episode rail to jump around.
- Press Enter to flow Scene → Action → Character → Dialogue.
- Fix any headings or character names if needed.
3) Export to Final Draft (.fdx)
Open Export → choose .fdx. Keep a PDF for easy sharing.
Tip: If a studio asks for page‑locked pages, export a PDF with scene numbers after you lock your draft.
