Being a productive and successful journalist means being at right place at right time, getting the information first, and knowing how to present it. But not only that - you need to organize your data and raw material and get the footage on-air as soon as possible. Top world-journalists fully utilize the best tools that are available, and OCTOPUS Field Reporter is such a tool. It is a personal production center for freelance reporters, video reporters on the road, and producers working on remote assignments. OCTOPUS Field Reporter allows them to manage their stories portfolio, write the scripts, prompt the stand-ups and OCs, attach the package and send it all to headquarters.

Personal newsroom system

You organize the stories with folders. This allows you to search for content, as well as archive your work. OCTOPUS Field Reporter works just fine as a stand alone, personal newsroom system as well as in combination with the OCTOPUS Newsroom System.

Powerful scripting

OCTOPUS Field Reporter uses the same scripting engine as its "big brother", OCTOPUS Newsroom System. It allows script timing, text formatting, and inserting CGs and graphics. The integration with virtually any NLE allows video or audio editing within the script.

Built-in Prompter

You've written the stand-up piece, but you're still not able to memorize it to speak fluently on camera? You can prompt it directly from OCTOPUS Field Reporter and record it with your NLE.

Manages assets

The package you attached to the story is sent to the central server together with the script. The Producer simply reviews the script and lowres version of your package and the story is immediately ready to be aired. Pack OCTOPUS Field Reporter with any desktop nonlinear editor and enjoy full integration.

Works Everywhere

Mac, Windows and Linux. You can use any of these operating systems. It gives you the advantage to choose the other tools, like NLE, that suit you best. With the world-wide Internet connections you will never again be dependent on tape transfers or expensive leased video lines.
