How long is your script? Check the script timer!

If you want to keep track on how long your script is before you submit it, don't forget about our Script Timer tool!

 

 

Summary

The meeting addressed script length issues through the implementation of a new timing tool and feature demonstration.

Addressing Script Length Issues
Production teams frequently flagged scripts for incorrect timing during submission. This highlighted a clear need for improved length verification during the drafting process.

Script Timer Tool Implementation
The Video Production Project Order system now features an integrated timer tool. Users can verify and adjust script length in real time before final submission.

Formatting and Support Resources
The tool supports text styling like bolding and highlighting for better readability. Help desk support remains available for additional guidance.

Details

  • Introduction to Script Length Challenges: A common issue faced by Account Executives and writers who supply scripts for production orders is that they often receive feedback from the production team that a script is either too long or too short. They introduce this topic to highlight the need for a tool that helps participants manage and verify script length before submission.
  • Accessing and Using the Script Timer Tool: The Script Timer tool is a solution, which can be located under the "Tools" section of the Video Production Project Order (vPPO) system. Users can either type a script directly into the provided field or paste a script from another source. As the text is entered or modified, the tool automatically calculates and displays the script's length in the upper left corner of the page, adjusting in real-time as changes are made.
  • Formatting Features and Support Contact: The Script Timer tool includes formatting options, allowing users to bold text or apply background colors to specific sections for clarity. Once a user is finished, they can copy and paste the formatted content directly into the specific production spot.
