On the left, the ‘Available’ list presents you with all Link Groups not currently assigned to your target Strip.
On the right, under ‘Assigned’, are listed Link Groups which are already assigned to your selected strip.
Between these two lists are four buttons with arrows. We will get to these in a moment, but first, click on
the ‘Add New Link Group…’ button below to get things rolling…
•
‘Add New Link Group…’
will immediately create a new Link Group in the ‘Assigned’ list. Note that this
new Link Group also appears immediately in the Link Groups List in the System Status Pane.
In the Link Groups List, double-click on a Link Group name to edit the name, or Control-click a Link
Group to open a sub-menu where you can rename or delete the Link Group:
Figure 10.119: Status Pane:Link Groups List: ‘Edit Link Group Name…’, ‘Delete Link Group’ submenu
Please note
: Although ‘Add New Link Group…’ immediately creates and assigns a new Link Group,
all other assignment functions must be applied by hitting the ‘Apply’ button, ‘
Enter
’ or ‘
Return
’ keys.
The ‘Cancel’ button, ‘
Esc
’ key or ‘
cmd .
’ key command will cancel new assignments, but will not undo
newly created Link Groups.
• The
Single Arrow
buttons in the ‘Link Groups Assign’ window are for moving Link Groups between the
‘Available’ and ‘Assigned’ lists in the direction the arrow points. Make a selection in the ‘Available’
list and click the “
>
” button to move your selection to ‘Assigned’. Use the standard macOS “shift-
click” or “command-click” keystrokes to make multiple selections of the Link Groups in either list
and move them all at once.
• The
Double Arrow
buttons will move all of the Link Groups from ‘Available’ to ‘Assigned’, and vice
versa.
• A little shortcut: double-click a Link Group to move it immediately to the opposite list.
• By entering a number in the
‘Cascade to __ strips’
box and enabling ‘Cascade’, you can apply your
Link Group assignment across that number of strips, starting with your selected strip and moving
to the right across the Mixer. So, in the example above, entering “4” in ‘Cascade to __ strips’ and
checking the ‘Cascade’ enable box would assign your selected Link Groups to the four strips visible
in the screenshot.
• By selecting multiple strips in the Mixer, then hitting one of the highlighted strips ‘Link Group’ but-
tons, the ‘Link Groups Assign’ window will replace ‘Cascade to __ strips’ with
‘Cascade to selected
strips’
