Menu Macro Register Editing

In the Macro >Menu Macro Register menu, you can check
the status and edit menu macro registers.
For details about the status display, see "Effect Status
Display" (page 321). However, region names are not
displayed.
You can carry out the following editing on menu macro
registers.
• Lock: Write-protect the data contents of the menu macro
register.
• Copy: Copy data between menu macro registers.
• Delete: Delete the data contents of a menu macro
register.
• Name: Attach a name to a menu macro register.
In the Macro >Menu Macro Register menu, use the same
procedure as when editing an effect register.
However, the region selection operation is not necessary
for menu macro registers.
For details, see "Effect Register Editing" (page 322).

Macro Timeline

You can automatically execute a sequence of macro recall/
execute actions by registering them on a timeline, in the
same way as for keyframes in an effect. 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
registered on the macro timeline, numbered 1 to 99. These
registers are distinct from the registers where individual
macros are stored.
Note
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 timeline.
Available keyframe functions
The keyframe functions that can be used in the macro
timeline are as follows.
• 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 keyframe functions cannot be used
• KF LOOP, EFFECT LOOP, REVERSE, NORMAL/
REVERSE
• PATH
Saving to a register
Set the recall and execute actions for the macros to be
registered in the timeline using the Macro >Timeline
>Timeline menu (5441). The setting data can be saved in a
register as keyframe data. You can recall the register in
which the data is saved, and carry out operations on it with
the utility/shotbox control block.
Note
An action set for a keyframe is only executed when the
keyframe effect is executed in the forward direction. It is
important to remember that actions are not executed in the
reverse direction when executing simultaneously with
switcher and DME keyframe effects.
