Enables and Delegates
■ Enabled and delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
highlighted)
■ Enabled but not delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
not highlighted)
Level enables and delegations are both controlled via the
ENABLES buttons on the E-MEM panel. A menu selection located
both in the Keyframe and Timeline menus determines whether
the ENABLES buttons control level enables or delegations.
The ENABLES buttons light as follows:
■ Not enabled or delegated—OFF
■ Enabled but not delegated—DIM (low tally)
■ Enabled and delegated—BRIGHT (high tally)
When ENABLES is selected in the Keyframe or Timeline menu, all
enabled levels are also delegated; thus all enabled levels are
affected by changes made on the control panel.
When DELEGATES is selected, only specified enabled levels are
delegated; all other enabled levels are enabled but not delegated.
This feature allows you to edit a delegated timeline while viewing
its relationship to timelines not being edited. When a level is not
enabled, its timeline disappears, and its keyframes are removed
from the master timeline.
With DELEGATES on, the timelines of all enabled levels remain
displayed in the Timeline menu and the Enable buttons of the
undelegated levels go to low tally. Pressing individual Enable
buttons on the E-MEM panel then delegates individual register
levels so that changes can be made to those levels. The buttons of
the delegated levels go to high tally and the names of those levels
are highlighted in the Timeline menu.
During effect editing, you would normally enable all levels that
contribute to the overall effect.
When you want to make changes to individual levels, you would
delegate only those levels and perform the operation (Insert Before,
Insert After, Mod, Cut, Paste, etc.). Only the delegated levels will
