Has anyone else had issues with Final Draft 12 crashing on their PC when using the Beat Board? Any tips on how to prevent the crash?
Thanks in advance!

My only suggestion is to check out Prewrite as it makes the FD Beat Board look like it was made on a Nokia 3210.

Karen "Kay" Ross I thought it was my PC. Ok, so this must be something with the program. CJ Walley thanks for the suggestion. I've never heard of Prewrite.

Karen, I'm a big Prewrite fan...and if you take CJ's advice and give Prewrite a try, you're sure to love it!

I upgraded to FD12 because of all the buzz about how good its Beat Board system is. I'm 'old school' so I learned to do beat sheets with a #2 lead pencil & a note book. After struggling with the FD system, I just assumed that my atrophied old brain isn't up to computer speed anymore - so I went back to my old ways; much happier.

I found a thread that mentions turning off the Outline function while using the Beat Board, which seems to allow it to work without crashing. So far so good.
Also, just signed up for Prewrite - thank you for the suggestion, CJ Walley!
And here I was, just about to invest in FD. Prewrite. Will look em up tomorrow. Thanks.
