Opening
1
Locate the power switch on the rear panel and move it to the On position.
The green power light glows on the front panel. (If the light does not glow, you have a faulty
power connection.) After a few moments, this picture appears on the Preview monitor:
This picture appears any time you start PowerScript without first inserting the Start Card. It's
PowerScript's way of telling you to insert the Start Card so it can begin work.
2
Locate the Start Card that came with the PowerScript package and insert it into the
front PC card slot.
Hold the Start Card as shown in the preceding picture—with the label up, the PowerScript
name at the top, and the Videonics name and logo at the bottom. Then gently push the card
into the slot until you meet resistance and it won't go any further.
It takes approximately 15 to 30 seconds for PowerScript to complete the start-up procedures.
The first page of the Demo project then appears (this is because the Demo project was the last
one opened on the start card). The Demo project contains many examples of title screens
you can create with PowerScript. After completing the tutorial you might want to return to
the Demo project to see the other types of things you can do.
Note
Normally the first page of the last project you were working with appears on the
screen when you start PowerScript.
