The macro is not executed by fader lever operation in the second stroke. Macro Timelines Overview A macro timeline is an effect timeline for macros. You can execute macros in sequence by setting macro recall/execute actions at keyframe points on an effect timeline. There are 99 effect timeline registers that can be used in a macro region. Notes • Up to 99 macros can be executed simultaneously using a single macro timeline. • If multiple macros are executed at the same time, the output may not be reproduced according to the timing registered in the macro timeline. • Actions configured on a macro timeline are executed only when the macro timeline is operating in the normal direction. • The following cannot be set in a macro timeline. - Keyframe loop - Effect timeline loop - Reverse direction execution - Normal/reverse direction execution - Keyframe path Macro timeline operations You can operate a macro timeline using the [RUN] button/[REWIND] button in the utility/shotbox control block or utility control block, or the [Run] button/ [Rewind] button in the menu. Notes • If a macro timeline has ended but a macro is still executing, you can press the [RUN] button/[REWIND] button or the [Run] button/[Rewind] button to terminate the macro timeline. • In a macro timeline, since a take operation is not possible, if a pause event with a pause time of "0" is set in a registered macro, the actions after the pause are not executed. The macro timeline is terminated. Creating a Macro Timeline Setting an action You can configure an action at a keyframe point on an effect timeline. 327
