Editing a Story
91
To copy one or more production cues to another story:
1. Open two stories.
2. Click and hold the mouse and select the production cue or cues, or text that includes the
production cues.
3. Press Ctrl+C.
4. Position the insert cursor where you want to insert the production cue or cues.
5. Press Ctrl+V.
If necessary, the production cues are renumbered to fit sequentially into the target story.
You can also drag and drop the production cues from one story to another.
Adding Machine Control Instructions
If your station integrates with a broadcast control system, such as iNEWS | Command, the production
cues might include machine control instructions.
These instructions must be preceded by an asterisk (*) and written in a special format, beginning with
a command for the type of device the instruction is for, such as CG for a character generator. After
the command the format specifies a particular item or template, such as 2line for a template that
contains two lines for fulfillment data. If additional comments or information is required it would
follow on succeeding lines in the same production cue text box.
In the following procedure, a machine control instruction for a 2-line character generator graphic is
used as an example.
To add machine control instructions for a CG event:
1. Insert a production cue in the script.
2. In the production cue text box (in the Cue List), type *CG 2line and press Enter.
3. Type the first line of text that should appear on the 2-line CG graphic, such as Mayor Joe Smith.
Press Enter.
4. Type the second line of text that should appear on the 2-line CG graphic, such as Pleasantville.
Your CG machine control instruction will appear in blue font.
Adding a Primary Machine Control Instruction
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 you want the machine control event associated with the Story Form to appear in a position
other than first in the event list, you can insert a placeholder in the Story. The system then inserts the
Story Form machine control event at that location in the event list. You can insert one primary
machine control instruction cue. Only one is allowed in any given story.
