ALT + OUT
A different operation results when you hold down ALT (see Section 23.7) at the same time as you push OUT .
This operation updates the Out Point of the active clip in the currently delegated DDR to the frame currently
displayed.
Hint: This is a non-destructive edit of the playlist clip, equivalent to dragging the trim handle at right-hand end
of the DDR scrub bar.
23.6.3 ONE BUTTON MARKING
Another handy method of creating clips for instant replay is referred to as ‘o ne button marking ’. With Record
enabled, watch for notable events, and simply press OUT whenever one occurs (no need to press IN
beforehand in this case). This creates a new clip with an Out Point at the current frame, automatically setting
the In Point to achieve the Duration set in the Record Configuration > Replay tab .
SECTION 23.7 ALT AND QUALIFIERS
FIGURE 287
For ergonomic reasons , ALT is in a special location by itself just below the Play Speed control group. It, along
with SHIFT and CTRL (Control) are what are termed ‘qualifiers buttons’, in that (like their keyboar d
equivalents) they qualify, or modify the outcome of operating some other control.
We’ve discussed one use of ALT in Section 23.6; see also Section 23.8. At the time of writing SHIFT and CTRL
are reserved for as yet unspecified future purposes.
SECTION 23.8 RECORD
It’s probably no surprise at all that pressing the REC (Record) button enables TriCaster ’s own
Record feature. It’s worth mentioning though, that REC is not a simple toggle button (as it is
on the user interface). Simply pressing REC again does not turn Record off.
Recording is such an important function; we are sure you agree you don’t want anyone to be
able to accidentally disable it.
For this reason, you must use ALT + REC (hold down ALT while pushing REC ) to turn recording off. This
makes disabling recording a very deliberate operation, and not one that is at all likely to have been
unintentional (as perhaps by some hapless passerby coming in contact with the control surface while looking
over your shoulder).
Also, you can add a five second clip from the Primary record source to all current Add to targets by pressing
SHIFT + REC .
