Displaying a Production Cue

Displaying a Production Cue
The iNEWS system provides a scripting function that places a production cue area to the left of
the story text. When you add production instructions to a script, the production cue area, known
as the Instruction sub-panel, must be open in your workspace.
To display a production cue:
1. Open the queue containing story you want to work with.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click a story to select it.
3. Click anywhere in the Story panel.
4. Select Story > Show Production Cues.
The production cue area appears in the Story panel. If any cues have been placed in the story,
they are displayed in the window.
Enabling Autoscript
The iNEWS system has an autoscript function that will automatically display the production
cues area of the Story panel. When autoscript is enabled, the production cues area appears
whenever you open a story containing production instructions. You can deselect Autoscript on
the Story menu to hide production cues.
To enable autoscript:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to work with.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click a story to select it and then click anywhere in the Story panel.
3. Select Story > Autoscript.
Adding a Production Cue to a Story
Production cues are playback instructions for devices such as video servers, still stores, and
character generators. When you insert production cues, they appear in the area to the left of the
text in the Story panel. In addition, a production cue marker appears in the story text to indicate
where each production cue belongs in the story.
