Saving to a register
Set the recall and execute actions for the macros to be registered in the timeline,
using the Macro Timeline menu. The setting data can be saved in a register as
key frame data. You can manipulate this data by recalling the register in which
it is saved, and using the key frame control block.
For details, see Chapter 18, “Macros” (Volume 2).
Note
An action set for a key frame is only executed when the key frame effect is
executed in the forward direction. It is important to remember that the action is
not executed in the reverse direction when executing simultaneously with
switcher and DME key frame effects.
Forcibly ending a macro timeline
If the timeline has completed but a macro is still executing, press the
[REWIND] or [RUN] button in the key frame control block to forcibly end
the macro timeline.
In a macro timeline, since a take operation is not possible, if a macro included
in the timeline has a pause event with a pause time of zero, the remainder of
the timeline after the pause is ignored, and the macro timeline ends at that
point.

You can use the following editing functions on a register in which a macro
timeline is stored.
•Copy
•Move
•Swap
•Merge

File-related functions
