Transition Macro Interface Overview
Transition Macros are events used to create an automated video production. These events
include: camera presets, audio, character generators, scripts, VTR/VR events, and Digital Video
effects. To create a Transition Macro, these events are set up as macro commands and then the user
drags and drops them onto the Transition Macro Timeline.
Note: Allows for labeling sections of the Macro segments.
Zoom: Increases the zoom-factor (+), or decreases the zoom factor (-).
Marks: Step, User and GPI indicator marks.
DVE: Places a DVE icon on the timeline.*
Audio: Places an Audio icon on the timeline.*
SCRIPT Viewer: Places a SCRIPT Viewer icon on the timeline.*
CG: Places a Character Generator page on the timeline.*
Camera: Places a camera icon on the timeline.*
VTR/VR: Places a VTR/VR icon on the timeline.*
GPO: Places a GPO on the timeline.

Transition Macro Commands
(listed to the left) are dragged
and dropped onto this, the Tran-
sition Macro Timeline.
* None of the icons will have functionality until configured by the user through the corresponding
property pages. These are reached by double-clicking the appropriate icon. To avoid using prop-
erty pages, camera, VTR/VR, audio server, DVE, and audio presets setup by the user on the Digital Con-
trol GUI (right monitor), can be right-clicked, dragged and dropped onto the Transition Macro Timeline.
