Creating a Late Breaking News Preset Button
The Late Breaking News Interface allows for the setup of 16 late breaking news presets. This fea-
ture is extremely beneficial if adding several pre-defined Macro Command events is needed. This
urgency could be caused by a breaking story or an emergency warning. Multiple Transition Macro
Commands can be assigned to each of the 16 presets. Various sets of Macro Commands can be
assigned and saved with the transition Macro.
Once an existing Transition Macro is opened, or a new Transition Macro is created, a Late Breaking
News Preset Button can be created:

drag it from t he top-left corner to
the bottom right corner of the
desired group of Macro Com-
mands to be assigned to a preset
button. When finished, release
the mouse button. The box will
disappear, but the surface tex-
ture of the grouped Macro Com-
mands will appear hatched.
2
. Right-click
inside where the box
was. A menu
appears. Select Late
Breaking News from
the menu. A sub-
menu appears.
3
. On the sub-menu,
click the number of the
Late Breaking News button
that is to store the Macro-
Command group (typically,
start with the first available,
in this case, News Break 1).
A description dialog box
appears. type in the name
that is to appear on the
preset button. Repeat
steps as necessary.
Once created, Late Breaking News Presets can be inserted into the Transition Macro. Any Macro
Commands that exist on the timeline at the insertion point or later, are moved forward the exact
amount of time contained in the preset. To insert a Late Breaking News Preset in a Transition Macro,
right-click and drag the desired preset to the time line OR left-click and the preset will drop where the
cursor rests.
