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.
