Scoop Edit Playout & Publishing
|
Scoop Edit is not only used to create news stories,
audio cuts and complete bulletins but can also be used to delivery
them 'live on air' and even publish them to your web site!
Scoop Edit - For Live News Delivery
Once you have finished creating stories from the
text scripts and audio clips, you can build entire bulletins using
Scoop Edit's Bulletin window. This allows you to build a running
order for the stories you want to use for a 'live' news bulletin.
The main section of the Bulletin window shows the script for each
story along with a list of audio clips attached to each story and
and the running order for the overall bulletin to the right.
Once the bulletins are complete, you can run through
the bulletin with Scoop displaying each script on screen and
automatically cueing each audio cut as you need them meaning that
you only need a couple of buttons to navigate through your entire
bulletin leaving you free so concentrate on reading the news, not
pushing buttons.
You are also free to alter the running order of the
bulletin at any time, read out the stories in a different order to
originally planed, alter or even skip audio cuts and make last
minutes changes to the scripts and stories themselves. The Auto
Scroll feature also ensures that longer scripts can be easily read
by toggling smooth scrolling text on and off (like an auto-cue
machine).
As with all aspects of Scoop, you can customise the
look of the Bulletin window to display the scripts in the size,
fonts and styles that suit you best.
Scoop Edit For Web News Delivery
In addition to live reads, Scoop Edit also allows
you to produce 'web bulletins' that can be automatically formatted
and uploaded to your stations web site. Based on the same bulletins
prepared for 'on air' use, Scoop takes the web versions of each
story, applies it to a set of HTML templates (to allow the generated
news page to blend with your stations normal web page) and finally
publishes it to your stations web site.
For the first time, a small newsroom can
simultaneously provide 'live' and web based local news on minimal
resources and without generating additional workload for the
journalists. In addition, no technical expertise is needed by the
journalists, they just write the scripts and Scoop does the rest.
There is even a spell checker built in to Scoop to aid with the
production of web stories.
