How AVScripter Works    [Home][AVScripter Overview]

1. Using your own word processor, write your script like this, preceding video entries with .V and audio entries with .A:

.v# This is text you want to appear in the video column. The # sign means that you want a scene number at the beginning of this block of video and audio lines.
.a This is text you want to appear in the audio column. To start a new audio-video block, you would skip a line after this sentence.

2. Save your script as a standard ASCII or DOS text file (easily done in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, and most word processors). Then exit your word processor.

3. Load AVScripter, process your ASCII text file, and get this:

            -VIDEO-                              -AUDIO-

 1    This is text you want to           This is text you want to
      appear in the video column.        appear in the audio column. To

      a scene number at the              you would skip a line after
      beginning of this block of         this sentence.
      audio and video lines.

AVScripter permits you to easily change -VIDEO-/-AUDIO- column headers, line spacing, column width, and other factors to suit your taste.

PLEASE NOTE: AVScripter prints out correctly only in non-proportional, monospace fonts. These are fonts, such as Courier, in which each letter takes up the same amount of horizontal space.  Courier, or a similar non-proportional font, is the default font on most printers. ThiS copy is printed in Courier.
