Macro Timeline

By recording macro recall and execute action on a timeline, in the same way as

for key frames in an effect, you can automatically execute them in a sequence.

This timeline is called a "macro timeline," and one macro timeline can have up

to 99 macros being executed simultaneously in parallel.

There are 99 registers in the Macro region that can be recorded on the macro

timeline, numbered 1 to 99. These registers are distinct from the registers

where individual macros are stored.

If you use a macro timeline to superimpose more than one macro, the macros

may not be executed according to the timing information registered in the

Available key frame functions

The following lists the key frame functions that can be used on the macro

• RECALL(1 to 99), STORE(1 to 99), RECALL UNDO, STORE UNDO,

search for empty register, AUTO SAVE, RECALL MODE (RECALL,

RECALL & REWIND)

• EDIT ENABLE, EDIT UNDO

• CONST DUR, EFF DUR, KF DUR, DELAY, PAUSE, INSERT BEFORE,

INSERT AFTER, MODIFY, DELETE, COPY, PASTE BEFORE, PASTE

AFTER, FROM TO, ALL

• PREV KF, NEXT KF, GOTO TC, GOTO KF, RUN, REWIND, FF, STOP

NEXT KF, NORMAL, JOG, KF FADER

The following key frame functions cannot be used

• KF LOOP, EFFECT LOOP, REVERSE, NORMAL/REVERSE

Saving to a register

Set the recall and execute actions for the macros to be registered in the timeline,

using the Macro Timeline menu. The setting data can be saved in a register as

key frame data. You can manipulate this data by recalling the register in which

it is saved, and using the key frame control block.

For details, see "Recalling a Menu Macro Register and Executing a Menu

Macro" (page 859).
