Editing A Macro - Sony MVS-6520 User Manual

Notes
While editing a macro, it is not possible to execute another
macro.
Creating a macro
To include all information associated with an
operation when registering a macro event
When registering an auto transition operation as an event,
you can register the auto transition event to include the
transition rate and background A/B bus selection status.
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
forward as an event, you can also save the region to which
this applies.
To use this capability, assign the following functions to
user preference buttons in the menu panel
then turn the relevant button on.
Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with/
without Rate): When registering an auto transition
macro event in the transition control block, include the
transition rate.
Macro AT with A/B Bus (Macro Auto Trans Event
with/without A/B Bus): When registering an auto
transition macro event in the transition control block,
include the background A/B bus cross-point.
Macro TL with Region (Macro Timeline with Region):
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
forward as a macro event, save the affected region
together in the macro.
Events requiring adjustment when creating a
macro
The following events require time for execution to
complete, and therefore when executed within a macro
sequence, a pause event must be inserted to adjust the
timing.
• Rewinding effects involving external device control
• VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR cue-up
For example, create a macro to cue up a VTR and then play
back as follows.
Macro event execution order:
Macro events:

You can switch on or off the mode (auto insert mode) in
which at the same time that a control panel operation is
carried out, the event is automatically saved in a macro.
