QPro Runorder interface
The QPro runorder shows a list of the stories which will be displayed on your on-camera unit
monitor to be read by a presenter. The stories are prompted in the order they appear in the
runorder list.
An example of the QPro Runorder 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.
