Make the most of your software
QPro allows you to quickly and simply create, edit, format and prompt the scripts you write.
If you are planning to use multiple scripts as part of a broadcast program or for a conference,
refer to the section Managing rundowns later in this manual.
Open, import, edit and save individual scripts
Using a single script is better for solo presenters. Also it allows whoever is editing the script
to focus on the words that go into the script rather than the script itself, allowing for more
accurate script writing.
QPro Script Editor interface
QPro includes windows for editing and viewing scripts. An example of the QPro Script Editor
interface is below.
Options can be set using toolbar buttons and menus. QPro also includes fields that tell the
user key information about the scripts such as the number of words and the estimated time a
script will take to be read.
Script Editor Headers
The header fields of the Script Editor are used to display the details of the script that you are
editing or writing.
Header Field Description
NO Item Number of the Script in the rundown
Title Script title
Words The number of words in the script
Link Estimated time to read this script (based on 180 words per minute)
