Macro Timeline
By recording macro recall and execute action on a timeline, in the same way as
for key frames in an effect, you can automatically execute them in a sequence.
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 recorded 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 key frame functions
The following lists the key frame functions that can be used on the macro
timeline.
• 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 key frame 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 menu. The setting data can be saved in a register as
key frame data. You can manipulate this data by recalling the register in which
it is saved, and using the key frame control block.
For details, see “Recalling a Menu Macro Register and Executing a Menu
Macro” (page 900).
