Using Script Integration in Video Projects
Script integration is an effective tool for editing any type of production, not just feature films and
television drama. For example:
• You can adapt many of the procedures described in this chapter for use in audiovisual scripts
for documentaries, corporate spots, news magazine segments, and spot advertisements.
• You can turn script integration into a quick storyboarding tool by positioning selected slates
in the Script window and printing storyboard bins that include your script.
The following is an example of an audiovisual script for a news magazine piece imported into the
Script window, with the basic features of script integration applied.
Left to right: narration track synced to the script, B-roll shots ready to be loaded and cued (color indicates preferred
shots), music cuts linked to appropriate sections of the script.
Understanding the Script Window
You begin the script integration process by importing a script into a project. The script appears in
a script bin, and opens in a Script window.
