Primary Machine Control Event Placeholder
130
Primary Machine Control Event Placeholder
The machine control event associated with the story form, by default, takes precedence over
other machine control commands put into a script, when the event list is generated by the
iNEWS monitor server. If a user wants the machine control event associated with the story form
to appear in a position other than first in the event list, a placeholder may be inserted in the Story
panel with Shift+Alt+Insert. If a placeholder is used, the system will insert the story form
machine control event at that location in the event list.
Using MOS Placeholders
Avid iNEWS lets users insert MOS object placeholders within iNEWS stories in either the story
form or as a story’s production cue.
To insert a MOS object placeholder:
1. Right-click while mouse pointer is either in the Story Form sub-panel or in the Story Text
sub-panel.
2. Select Insert Placeholder.
3. Select the MOS device.
4. Enter a new slug or use the default.
