• On a macro timeline, only macro recall and execution actions are stored. The

data for a macro to be recalled on the macro timeline is not held on the
timeline. It is necessary to create the macro data first.

• A macro timeline can be saved and recalled on the master timeline or a

shotbox register, but cannot be saved as a snapshot.
