(Naturally, if an image or title has previously been previously assigned to the active preset for the designated
buffer, the new file will replace the current one.)
Note: Generally, Buffers are linked to the original source file on disk. Having added a file to a buffer using
the “Send to (Buffer x)” menu, it no longer matters whether the item continues to be available in a Media
Player playlist. The buffer link will only fail if the original file is moved, or deleted from the hard drive - with
one exception: editable title page buffers are fully independent of their original source files.


Rename allows you to assign a custom name to the buffer. The
name will also be visible in menus (such as DSK source menus).

Configure opens the standard configuration options, including
cropping, color processing, and even LiveMatte keying.

The Unload option clears the effect, freeing Switcher Memory
reserved for effects.
Hint: A small [x] button appears over the upper-right corner on rolling the cursor into a Buffers tab icon.
This button simply provides another convenient method of unloading an effect from Switcher Memory.

ANIMATION FEATURES
The thumbnail icon for a buffer with an animation effect assigned to it provides several additional features.
As mentioned earlier, animation effects can be of either looping or auto-run type (the type determination is
made in the Animation Store Creator utility when the effect is generated).
