Section 17.2 Recording Macros - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual

System Commands are actually the very same shortcuts called by the user interface
and Control Surface to operate your TriCaster. Expand this entry by clicking the
triangle at left to see a long list of these important macros.
Hint: Notice that keystroke shortcuts for macro entries are shown at right, which is a
convenient reference if nothing else.
It's worth noting a few unique aspects of System Macros. First, System Macros are
specially safeguarded within the system. Rename, Delete, Clone and Paste features are
disabled, nor can you alter the order of entries in the list.
Also, be aware that un-checking the enable switch at left for the entire System Macros
folder (or individual entries within it) will naturally result in the failure of all related
keystroke shortcuts. By design, this does not affect Control Surface operations,
however.
Hint: If keyboard shortcuts are unresponsive even though System Macros are enabled,
check the state of the similar Enable Keystroke Shortcuts setting in the TriCaster Options
menu (see Section 7.1).

Continue to define the macro by clicking the
Record button at the bottom of the panel, and then
just go ahead and perform the sequence of
operations you wish to include in the macro. You
can use mouse, keyboard, and Control Surface operations when
doing so.
When finished, click the Stop button to complete recording. Test the new macro by
clicking the Play button. You'll notice that an animated bar in the background of the
macro's entry in the list tracks playback progress.

SECTION 17.2
Creating a new macro is simple. Buttons at upper right let
you add folders and macros. Click the first to add a folder
and name it. Selecting a folder in the list (other than the
System Macros folder) enables the Add Macro button
(Figure 286). Click this button to add a new macro entry.
