A macro command is a kind of shortcut to a function to which predefined values are
associated.

Transition
effect "Add/ Modify Transition Effect Window" on page 158.
The settings in the Define Effect Parameters window are the same as the
ones on the Add/Modify Transition Effects window.
Where can a Macro Command be Defined?
You can define up to 10 macro commands in the menu Tools > Settings, in the category
IPEdit > Macro commands. The defined macro commands are numbered from 0 to 9.
What are the Limitations?
In some cases, the macro command cannot be defined or applied as it has been defined.
• A macro command cannot be applied if it is linked to a GPI OUT of TTL type, which
has then been changed to a GPI IN.
In this case, the macro command is displayed on a red background in the macro
command settings.
• A macro command cannot be applied if it is defined on an audio track that does not
exist in the current timeline.
In this case, the message box 'track does not exist for this macro'
appears in the global status bar when you try to apply the macro command.
