Working with the Script Window
618
You can also specify the text encoding of the script from the Script menu. This ensures that
diacritical marks and multibyte character sets appear correctly in your script.
Script Window Behavior
The Script window behaves in many respects like a bin:
• When you make changes in the Script window, an asterisk appears in the title bar to indicate
that the changes are not yet saved.
• The Script window has the same auto-save functionality as bins, based on the auto-save
options in the Bin settings.
• Your Avid editing application saves Script window files in the project folder along with bins,
and stores backup copies automatically in the Avid Attic folder.
When you save a Script window, the saved file has an .avc file name extension.
You can navigate to any point in the text of a script by using basic techniques available in most
word processors. You can also use several search features, as described in “Working with Page or
Scene Numbers and Searching in a Script” on page 623.
You can resize a Script window at any time to show more script or to enlarge the right margin.
The default size of the left margin is established on import, based on the current Script settings,
but you can override the margin setting and adjust the left margin after importing the script.
You can open the Info window, which displays statistical information about a clip or sequence,
directly from the Script window. The window updates the information automatically.
For details of basic Script window procedures, see “Working with the Script Window” on
page 618.
Working with the Script Window
This topic describes basic procedures for working with Script windows, including importing
script text, navigating through the script, displaying clip information, opening and closing
windows, saving windows, and adjusting margins. For more information on the Script window,
see “Understanding the Script Window” on page 617.
Before you begin creating Script windows, make sure you have established the proper defaults in
the Script Settings dialog box for font, margin, and display of frames and takes.
To set Script settings:
1. Double-click Script in the Settings list in the Project window.
The Script Settings dialog box opens.
