Importing a Script
The first step in script integration is to import a script in the correct
format.
c
The imported script must be in ASCII text format. However, to
maintain the original formatting, export the script from your word
processor by using the “Text Only with Line Breaks” option. If you
export the script as “text” only, the formatting will be lost.
To import a new script:
1. Place the file in a directory that is available to your system in one
of the following ways:
• Transport the file on a floppy disk and copy it to your hard
drive.
• Place the file in a network location that you can access from
your system.
2. From within the Avid application, click in the Project window to
select it.
Show Frames When this option is selected, the system shows
frames in take slates.
Show All Takes When this option is selected, the system shows all
takes in each slate. If you deselect this option, the
Avid system will display only one take per slate.
Interpolate Position When this option is selected, you can click in a
take line within a script, and the image in the
Source monitor updates to the approximate posi-
tion in the take where you have clicked. If you
deselect this option, the Source monitor does not
respond when you click in a take line.
