EZNews, from Automated Data Systems, is a news rundown and
script generator application. After a script has been created in
EZNews with the appropriate graphic dialog boxes, the entire
EZNews project may be exported and manually imported into Rapid CG
to automatically generate graphic files in the show rundown order.
The selection of the graphics is done manually in Rapid CG.
When creating EZNews Dialog boxes the name of the Dialog box must match the name
of the corresponding .Scribe template file. In addition, the name of the Metadata pre-
strings must correspond to the RTX Tag names in TitleMotion GS. Without these settings
being in place, the EZNews script will not export correctly for use in Rapid CG.
For more information on creating Dialog Boxes in EZNews and for technical support on
their products please contact Automated Data Systems directly at 608-785-1415.
