Adding Production Cues
 
When you format a story as a script for a news broadcast, you can add production cues to provide valuable information to technical staff as well as machine control commands for devices, such as character generators.
In the tablet app, the Edit toolbar provides a the Plus (+) button that lets you add this information to scripts.
You add production cues to scripts from the Story area and edit them in the Cue List area of the Script Editor. When added to a script, each production cue has an associated number. The number appears as a production cue marker in the script, which corresponds to the insertion location of the production cue’s text box in the Cue List. You can select each marker and move it within or remove it from the story if necessary. If moved or deleted, the text associated with the marker moves or is deleted.
To insert a production cue into a script:
1. Position your cursor in the story where you want to insert the production cue marker.
2. Tap the Plus button.
3. Enter the production cue information — for example, Take VO, On Camera, Take SOT, or Take Live.
*The app automatically saves information in the newly inserted production cue when you navigate elsewhere within the app. If you attempt to sign out or close the app, a message appears prompting you to either save or discard your changes.
To move a production cue in a script:
*Select the production cue marker, and then cut it and paste it in another location within the script.
To delete a production cue from a script, do one of the following:
*Position cursor to the right of the production cue marker and press the Delete key.
*Select the production cue marker and tap the Delete key.
