LOCATE THE ICON STRING AT THE BOTTOM CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN:
Look at the icon called "MOS" . RIGHT CLICK on it.
Check "WDAF XPRESSION" A screen will open.
*If that screen is BLANK - go to the three dots next to the "filter" option. Choose WDAF News > Templates. You shouldn't have to do that again.
<-- You want to be on the tab that says "GRAPHICS"
You can choose "THUMBNAILS" to see pictures, or "LIST".
Currently, "THUMBNAILS" are chosen.
Let's say you're putting in graphics for a vo, sot, or package.
You want "LOWER 3RD 2LINE" Double click there.
This box pops up:
Type in your information where it tells you. Topline: BANNER OR NAME. Bottom line: LOCATION OR TITLE.
In the example, the banner is "ONLINE SCAM" and the location is "OVERLAND PARK, KS."
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK FOR TYPOS. Then click: "ADD TO STORY."
Let's say you notice a typo, or decide on something different, you can update it and then click "UPDATE STORY."
Want to add another super? You don't have to close out of the box that is open. Just type in the information, and click on "ADD TO STORY." Continue until you have finished all your supers.
You will see the super land in your script like this - in blue.
If you want to delete one, highlight it and click: CTRL-SHIFT-DELETE

You can make your own fullscreens for liveshots. Here's how.
Open the script in which you want the graphic.
Most often, you will be using "FS BULLETS" "FS QUOTE" or "FS EVENT"
Double click on one...our example is "FS EVENT."
Let's say you want to tag your liveshot with details about an upcoming event. Fill out the lines as instructed. Follow the format of the examples that are pre-filled in.
ADD TO STORY.
Again, if you need to make any changes while you still have the event up, make your change and click "UPDATE STORY."
All supers and fullscreens work the same way. You open it and follow the filled in instructions.
Click "ADD TO STORY"
