Ending a Prompting Session

Controlling Prompt and Edit Positions

An important feature of WinCuePro News is the ability to control the relationship

between the prompt output and the edit screen. The different options and functions

are described below.

In Script Lock Mode, the prompt output is prevented from scrolling and is tied to the

edit screen. Any changes made on the edit screen are immediately reflected on the

prompter, and if you move around in the editor, the prompt output will follow. Use

Prompt, then Script Lock Mode (or Ctrl F11) to enable this way of working. A tick ( )

will appear next to the menu option to show that the mode is active. Use the same

command to return to normal operation.

If Script Lock Mode is not in use, you can force the prompter to jump to the current

edit position by using Prompt, and then Jump prompt to editor (or Shift F11).

Alternatively, you can make the editor jump to the same position as the prompter by

using Prompt, then Edit at Prompt Position (or F11).


Use the Stop Prompting button on the Toolbar to stop prompting a script
