Section 4 — Menus Overview
Events Summary
The Event Summary data pads to the right of each status box display the
currently enabled external device events (if any) in the work buffer for that
device. Touching this data pad delegates the pane on the right to that
device, where the external device triggers can be selected (see
below).
The
Clear All Events
button turns off all events at the current keyframe of all
devices in the scrolling list. This button makes it easy to insure that no
external device events will be added to the timeline when you are editing
an effect. If a keyframe is accidentally inserted or modified with incorrect
external device events, this button can also be used to quickly recover from
the situation.
Events Pane
The Events pane on the right shows buttons for events available for the
selected external device. Each event is turned on and off in the work buffer
by touching its button. The controls in this pane do not actually activate a
device, but rather specifies when the event takes place. The events must be
turned on and added to a keyframe before their actions will be enacted
during an effect run.
Load
is not functional in this release.
Cue
instructs the device to cue to a specified time code when that keyframe
is encountered. Turning
Cue
on displays the current time code location for
the device (the default cue point) in the adjacent data pad. Touching this
data pad brings up a numeric keypad allowing entry of a different time
code.
Note
Turning on Cue while a device is playing will grab a timecode on the fly, which
is not very useful. It is better to either park the device at the desired cue point
using the Control menu or to manually enter a timecode before turning on
Cue.
Play
instructs the device to play when that keyframe is encountered. A
100
in the display indicates a play speed of 100%. Turning
Play
on automatically
turns
Stop
off if it was selected. Play events encountered before the device
has cued may be executed late or not at all. Cue times must be factored into
the effect when it is created.
Stop
instructs the device to stop playback when that keyframe is encoun-
tered. Turning
Stop
on automatically turns
Play
off if it was selected.
The
Clear Events
button turns off events at the current keyframe for only the
delegated device.
