.he _AVScripter_ demo script
.tl1 _The Wonderful World of AVScripter_

.v FADE IN ON

.a TOM:
.A Welcome to AVScripter. The first thing you should notice about the
full-width source file is that, for clarity's sake, I skipped two lines after
the third title line. These extra blank lines are ignored when the script is
printed out.
.V TOM picks up computer printout and waves it in the air.
.A This is because AVScripter automatically discards blank lines at the top
of the page. So if a scene ends at the bottom of one page, the next page will
automatically start with the next non-blank line.
.A FADE IN SFX of printer UNDER.
.v TOM turns and walks off camera.
.v# CLOSEUP - Printer with two-column script being printed out.
.a SFX printer UP.
.v As printing stops, CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal TOM entering frame and
removing paper from printer. He turns to the camera.
.a TOM:
.A I designed AVScripter to work with any printer. This means no special
installation, no dip-switch flipping, no hassles. You should be able to get
all of AVScripter's features, even _underlining_, with any printer.
.a
.a If you want, you can also send special head and tail printer codes to your
printer. Each line of printer codes can be up to 80 characters and spaces.
.a
.a You can also print selected pages and multiple copies--even multiple copies
of selected pages!
.v# CLOSEUP - two-column script
.V CAMERA TILTS DOWN to bottom margin where there is _no_ "CONTINUED".
.A TOM (VOICE-OVER):
.a If a blank line or a new scene occurs near the bottom of the page,
AVScripter starts a new page, rather than split an audio-video block across
two pages. (It just did it.)
.v# MEDIUM SHOT - TOM
.a TOM:
.a Of course, you're not locked in to the standard page length and number of
lines per page. You can use the .PL (PAGE LENGTH) and .NL (NUMBER of LINES)
commands to change either default.
.v CAMERA PULLS BACK and PANS with TOM as he walks over to a stack of papers
by his computer.
.a But here's the real reason I wrote AVSscripter. These are the revisions
on a script I recently wrote.
.a _Without AVScripter_--even with one of those on-screen two-column programs
--I would have spent a lot of time jumping back and forth between columns,
re-aligning audio and video lines, renumbering scenes and pages, looking for
page breaks, and adding "CONTINUED" to the bottoms and tops of pages.
.a _With AVScripter_, I could concentrate on script content, and let the
computer worry about everything else. Writing is a lot more fun now.
.v He turns to computer and touches a key. An AVScripter source file with dot
commands scrolls up the screen.
.a Here's something else I like.
.v# CLOSEUP - Computer screen
.v Full-width source file scrolls up and stops.
.a TOM (VOICE-OVER):
.A Look at that screen. There's a lot of information on it. A lot more
information than you'd see if it were in two separate columns. Full-screen
text is easier to write, easier to rewrite, and easier to manipulate. Block
moves are simple when you don't have to worry about keeping your columns
aligned or renumbering your scenes or adjusting your page breaks.
.v# MEDIUM SHOT - TOM
.a TOM:
.A I hope AVScripter serves you as well as it has served me. If it does,
please send me the $20 user's fee. That will put you on my mailing list for
revisions and new products, and it will give me the incentive to continue
distributing this program and others as low-cost shareware.
