11.4.3 BUFFERS MENU
Right-click a thumbnail icon in the Buffers pane to open a menu offering two items:
FIGURE 147
 Rename allows you to assign a custom name to the buffer. The
name will also be visible in menus (such as DSK source menus).
 Configure opens the standard configuration options, including
cropping, color processing, and even LiveMatte keying.
 The Unload option clears the effect, freeing Switcher Memory
reserved for effects.
Hint: A small [x] button appears over the upper-right corner on rolling the cursor into a Buffers tab icon. This
button simply provides another convenient method of unloading an effect from Switcher Memory.
11.4.4 ANIMATION FEATURES
The thumbnail icon for a buffer with an animation effect assigned to it provides several additional features.
As mentioned earlier, animation effects can be of either looping or auto-run type (the type determination is
made in the Animation Store Creator utility when the effect is generated).
FIGURE 148
Loading either class of animation effect into a buffer results in a time control being displayed at right in the
buffer label (Figure 148).
Hint: Select a Slow, Medium or Fast preset value from the drop-down menu, drag the mouse left or right over the
time to change the current value, or click to enter a number directly using the keyboard.
For auto-run animation effects, a further control is added to the thumbnail icon when you move the cursor
over it. The Rehearse button appears at the top-center (Figure 148). Clicking it plays the animation from its
first frame through to the last, and holds that image.
