CPU usage in Final Draft 8

...on a quad-core Intel Core i7 with hyperthreading enabled. That's just from bog standard typing - nothing fancy. It's no wonder my laptop's battery drains in a couple of hours if I'm using the program on it. Honestly I'm tempted just to type my scripts in Microsoft Word and then transfer them over to Final Draft at the very end, though I really shouldn't have to.

Sorry for the lack of updates (again). In addition to my PhD work, I'm also putting together a submission for this. Wish me luck!

That's some graphically intense script-writing there.

Clearly, it must be that your imagination requires a lot of energy for your computer to process it. This is some pretty exciting news, I definitely wish you the best of luck with it. I'd love to take a look at your script(s) some time.
