17.1.1 SPEED AND SNAPSHOT MODE
The Speed menu lets you modify the playback rate of your macro. One option in the
Speed menu bears explanation: When you choose Snapshot as the macro’s speed, you
essentially force it to jump to its end result as fast as the system can get there.
Snapshot mode is very useful for macros that configure the system to a particular
state.
One example would be when you want to instantly reconfigure M/Es with different virtual sets for a scene
change; or perhaps you want to quickly disable LiveMatte for all Media Players at once. The possibilities are
endless.
Hint: You can record a macro that includes other macros. Depending on your order of operations, you may
need to re-highlight the newly recorded macro in the list to show its Stop control (to end macro recording).
17.1.2
TRIGGERS
The External Triggers controls located near the bottom of
the Macro Configuration panel allow you to configure one
or more ways to launch macros. For example, select a
macro, click in one of the Trigger boxes, and then press a
suitable keyboard shortcut to assign it to that macro.
17.1.3 LIVEPANEL BUTTONS
The LivePanel Buttons add the convenience of not only presetting macros, but the ease of
editing them as well, all without ever leaving the user interface. Simply right click your
mouse over any viewport to display the context menu, hover your mouse over
LivePanel
and eight Preset options will appear as shown in Figure 222.
To configure the buttons, right-mouse click over the
viewport showing the preset buttons (Figure 223)
and select
Configure from the context menu. In the
Configure LivePanel Buttons panel
you can edit the size of the buttons,
styling properties, the color of the
buttons and/or text, and more
(Figure 224).
