To save a new Script: Choose File > Save (or click the Save button). The Save dialog will open. Choose or create a folder, enter a filename, then click Save. Note that all MediaShout Script files use the .mss extension.

To manage your presentation files efficiently, we recommend that you create a folder for each presentation you create; you can do this when you save a Script for the first time. If you create media specifically for this presentation, put it in this folder so all its unique assets are in one folder. This makes it easier to find the files, and to move the presentation to another computer if you need to. For more on managing presentation files and their media, see Managing Files.

Tip: Save Scripts and their media in presentation folders in the My Shout folder to keep them in one convenient place ... and to make backing up these precious assets easier.

To insert the first cue in a Script:

1 Right-click anywhere in the Script window and choose Insert from the pop-up menu, then choose the cue type in the submenu that appears. (Or choose the same items in the Script menu.)

2 A Select dialog will open: Choose the song or media file you want to assign to the cue. (Bible cues skip this step.)

3 In the cue's properties dialog, choose other settings (layout, background, transition, advance, soundtrack, etc.), then click OK. The cue is inserted in the Script and is ready to play.

To insert more cues: Repeat the above steps. To insert the next cue below a cue, right click the existing cue. (If you accidentally insert a cue where you don't want it, just drag it to where you do.)

For more on cues, see Working with Cues.
