How to get started with ENPS

Last week, we used ENPS for the first time to create our script and running order and so I wanted to create a 'how to' guide for getting started with the programme.


Step 1 - Open up a new document by clicking on the green button in your user file at the bottom.


Step 2 - Click on 'New' then 'Rundown'


Step 3 - This brings up a window which allows you to set the duration of the news programme as well as start time and date


Step 4 - This will bring up the basic template for creating your running order then simply right-click on one of the grid squares and press 'insert new row'


Step 5 - Once your row has been created, you can start to insert your programme items.'Story Slug' will be a one or two word description of the item. The button next to the slug will bring up a separate box when you can insert the script.


Step 6 - As well as the script, it is also possible to give details of any other items that are to be included in this section. Right-clicking will bring you up a list of items you may wish to include. In this case I have decided to include a video clip that is 1.30 in length.


Step 7 - Once you have filled in the details, a box will be added to the script page like the one above


Step 8 - ENPS will automatically add the length of the clip to the length of the script


Step 9 - Above is a different example of inserting items into the script. I have included a still clip.

Extra Note: Using brackets around your text means they wont be added to the length of the script
