Now that you've finished off the eggnog, it's time to update your iPhone! Here's 5 updates you need to check out.

Sure they had it in there before, but now they REALLY have it in there. With yesterday's release of Screenplay 1.1.5, you can now import and export your Final Draft scripts with full FDX support. According to Black Mana Studios, the FDX data remains intact, and no longer gets all futzed up (my word, not theirs).
Also new is the ability to add multiple paragraphs BEFORE the first scene. So, if you're aching to precede your masterwork with a quote from Shakespeare, or a recipe for Lobster Bisque, you can now do so with wild abandon. It might also be useful for character breakdowns, explanations of a visual treatments, and other stuff.
The update also improves the FDX importer, and squashes a bunch of bug-a-boos. So, if you got it, go get it!

Hitchcock, the insanely cool storyboard tool for iPhone, just got a new name, Cinemek Storyboard Composer.
So, why the change?
Several weeks back, Cinemek received a cease and desist order from the Hitchcock estate. Jonathan Houser, the app's designer, told us that despite the estate having no trademark on the Hitchcock name, he decided to replace the title out of respect to the late director, adding, "It was only intended as an homage."
You can find the newly branded app in the App Store.

Bodelin has released an update for its outstanding iPhone teleprompter app, ProPrompter. Version 1.2 brings some welcome changes, including new font sizes, additional scroll speeds (faster & slower), and the ability to switch your text to ALL CAPS.
When we reviewed the ProPrompter Wing a few weeks back, we would have loved more font sizes, and a faster scroll. I'm don't think the All Caps feature would have made much of a difference for us, but it's a nice option to have.
If you already own ProPrompter, don't hesitate downloading the update. If you'd like to know more about ProPrompter, check out our previous coverage:

Product Spotlight: The ProPromtper Wing.
And... just a heads-up. Bodelin sent over their high-end, iPhone friendly, through-the-lens teleprompter hardware ("ProMag"). We'll be reviewing it shortly. Stay tuned!

Normally, we wouldn't get that excited about a 2.0 update, but in this case, we'll make an exception. Nexvio has just introduced a major update to their video editing app, ReelDirector. And it looks like many of our previous complaints have been addressed.

Chemical Wedding has just released a significant update to its criminally awesome iPhone app, Artemis Director's Viewfinder.
Version 2 brings additional formats including RED One 4k 2:1 Ana, Canon 5D Mk II and the Canon 7D. Additionally, it can now simulate wider angle lenses in full screen mode. That's great news! And, in my opinion, this version has a much prettier interface
