Graphics

Hello All, I would like to be able to change the default User Macros. Such As on a ross keyboard, User 1 clears channel 1. I would like to be able to change this to dissolve-out all the layers that are on channel 1. Right now we place several elements on different layers on channel 1. I would like to be able to dissolve all the layers away with a single keystroke. I'm assuming this would be a script function. Does anyone know the correct scripting for this?

Thanks

S.

Hi Steve,

You can use a script like this on a Script Action that you assign to a keyboard button in the Keyboard Mapping menu:



dim outfb as xpOutputFramebuffer

dim channel as integer

dim layer as integer

dim takeitem as xpBaseTakeItem

channel = 0 ' 0 is channel 1, 1 is channel 2, etc..

engine.GetOutputFramebuffer(channel, outfb)

for layer = -10 to 10

if outfb.GetTakeItemOnLayer(layer, takeitem) then

takeitem.SetOffline

end if

next



This script loops over layers -10 to +10 and takes any sequence items that are on-air on those layers offline. It will use whatever Out Transition is configured in the sequence item for each.

Hi Brian,

Thanks so much. That worked perfectly! Sorry my post had errors in it about what macros I was actually referring to.

Thanks again.
