Enables and Delegates

Enables and Delegates

The E-MEM system is divided into functional levels. Some or all
of the levels contribute to the overall look of a given effect. Those
levels must run in sync with each other in order for the effect to
look right.

When an effect is run from the E-MEM panel, all levels which
contribute to the effect must be enabled. All enabled levels will
respond to run commands from the E-MEM panel.

When an effect is created, keyframes could be inserted on all
enabled levels; however, doing so would make it more difficult to
modify the effect. To facilitate placing keyframes at different times
on different levels, effect editing operations are limited to delegated
levels only.

A level may be in one of three states:

Not enabled and not delegated (does not appear in Timeline
menu)

Enabled but not delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
not highlighted)

Enabled and delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
highlighted)

Level enables and delegations are both controlled via the

ENABLES

buttons on the E-MEM panel. A menu selection located

both in the Keyframe and Timeline menus determines whether
the

ENABLES

buttons control level enables or delegations.

The

ENABLES

buttons light as follows:

Not enabled or delegated—OFF

Enabled but not delegated—DIM (low tally)

Enabled and delegated—BRIGHT (high tally)

When

ENABLES

is selected in the Keyframe or Timeline menu, all

enabled levels are also delegated; thus all enabled levels are
affected by changes made on the control panel.
