MULTI-STEP MACROS

TriCaster’s Macro Editor now permits you to create and execute multi-step macros. Adding the line
“#waitforcontinue” (or simply, “#pause”) to a macro using the Macro Editor causes the macro to wait for
user input at that step in its execution.

The new Continue Paused Macro shortcut, assigned by default to the backtick key (`) serves to resume
playback. This feature can be used in endless ways, as for example to allow a user to step dynamically
through a series of animated CG overlays on demand.
