How this pair works
Your Movie Magic Screenwriter file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Highland. Highland background: Highland (2012, Quote-Unquote Apps — John August & Nima Yousefi) made Fountain-first screenwriting popular on the Mac. A .highland file is a ZIP package based on the TextBundle format holding the .fountain text plus metadata.
