4.13.8 Playing back files not in shows
Due to the file-based architecture of Fluent Macros, it can play back any graphic or clip
file that lives in the graphic or clip directory, even if that files is not in the active show.
This feature reduces the risk of incorrect content being played back, for example clips
for openers, bumpers and alpha wipes. In addition, it allows more advanced users to
create Macros for novice users without the worry of incorrect playback.
Since only files in a show can be modified from the control panel, files not in a show are
played backed as they were created/modified with a macro. In this case the control
panel will provide feedback of files not in a show to advise the user. The Multi-View, on
the other hand, will display the correct file name and attributes.
The control panel source PixButtons and display will look similar to the example below:
