A pulled script changes nothing on the switcher; Suggest Setup Changes lists the shots, lower thirds and stand-ins it asks for, and you apply them one by one.
The script says what the show needs; the switcher is yours. Pulling a script brings its words and files into the show and changes nothing else: no layer, shot or source appears by itself. Suggest Setup Changes then lists what the script asks for that the show does not have yet, and you take what you want, row by row.
Why it waits for you
Section titled “Why it waits for you”A show is often set up before the script is final: the cameras placed, the layers named, the lower-third graphic chosen. A pull that rebuilt the show would undo that work, or add shots the operator has to find and remove before going on air. So a pull only brings the script, and the setup changes when you decide, while you can see each change.
What it suggests
Section titled “What it suggests”The rows come from the script and the show as they are now:
| Row | When |
|---|---|
| Lower Thirds | A presenter has no lower third yet: one on the lower-thirds layer, with their name and title from the web |
| Shots | The host, the live guests, the slides, a video or a recording has no shot on the main layer yet |
| Sources | A role has no source on this Mac: a stand-in to link later, such as the host camera or the slides’ input |
| Updates | A shot the show has already shows something the script changed, such as a presenter’s new title |
A row that brings a source says so: With a stand-in “Slides” to link. A row applied once is gone the next time the panel opens, so it can be opened again after every pull.
Applying
Section titled “Applying”Apply makes one row’s change, Skip leaves it, Undo in the row puts it back in the list, and Apply All takes every row still open, in one step. Each apply is an edit: Edit › Undo takes it back. Nothing goes on the program; a new shot waits in its layer until you cue and take it.
Spelvin’s suggestions
Section titled “Spelvin’s suggestions”With Spelvin on your account, Ask Spelvin at the bottom of the panel sends what the script asks for and how the show is set up, and lists Spelvin’s answer under the rows: each row Add, Change or Remove, with why. A removal is confirmed once more, and never offered for something on the program. Asking costs one action. See Suggested setups.
After a new version
Section titled “After a new version”A newer version of the script is pulled the same way, by hand: its words come in, and the Script window marks what changed. Open Suggest Setup Changes again to see what the new version asks for, such as a lower third for a new guest. See Update a script.
