MACROS AND AUTOMATION
Macro capabilities smooth out your workflow, reducing complex
operations to a single button press, and make it easy to produce
sophisticated programs.
Macros provide many opportunities for both workflow streamlining and
creative applications. (As well, macros can reduce or eliminate
embarrassing operator errors.)
Keeping up with the action, having just the right angles on tap with little or no notice, preparing media for
highlight reels and post production all calls for near superhuman performance from instant replay
operators.
Macros can provide a great deal of help in this context. Record any sequence of events as a macro and
play it back with one click. Alternatively, trigger it with a single keystroke or hardware control surface
operation.

Macros can do almost anything; preload frequently used media, play clips, modify playback speed,
automate complex operations or perform all of this synchronously. The compelling usefulness of macros
justifies the prominent Macros menu placement in 3Play’s
Dashboard.
Click the Macros button to show a menu (Figure 171) containing
a list of ‘Favorite’ macros, along with a Configure Macros item.
Select the latter item to open the Macro Configuration Editor,
which is where you can create and manage macros.

SYSTEM MACROS
The largest part of the (resizable) Macro Configuration Editor consists of the Macro List, which displays
the content of the folder selected in the left-hand column.
The folder list includes an entry labeled System Commands, and another just beneath it named Session
Macros. You can manually create new folders for you macros using a button below the folder list.
