Macros problem

I use a macro to recall my replay at reg 01. then I use a simply run macro. Occasionally I will run my replay timeline and it stops at the pause and I hit the run macro again and it recues the timeline and runs it. I can't re-create the problem, it seems to happen whenever it wants to. Just wondering if anyone had a simliar problem and knows of a fix. thanks

Well, don't expect to give out many clean feeds on a zodiak. The one we are using at the open has no double take and only 10 outputs. The only clean feed out of the switcher is removing keys 1,2,3, from PGM. Also, there are 7 total downstream keyers, but honestly who needs 7 downstream keyers! The biggest difference to me from the Kalypso is the macro delegate button. You have a macro delegate button on all buses, but if you preview a key it changes to keyer mode. To avoid any problems make sure you attach your macros to those buttons. Finally when building macros, you will need to put pauses in for the simplest of macros.

News from flushing: Build a timeline including a macro (attached to a kf in timeline). Recall it with a macro, run it with another macro - no problem! BUT, recall it with a macro which then has a pause built in (to allow ddr to q) before running it, and the macro (the one built into the timeline) fires before the tl runs, as well as in its designated spot. wierd, huh? Just to elabo(u)rate: I can make the pause as long as the rest of the show, giving the ddr plenty of time to cue and the switcher plenty of time to reconsider, but the macro still fires after the pause, before the timeline (in this case somewhere in the middle of the rollout). Jason, why don't you tell us about your new little friend, Mr. Zodiak?? I didn't edit this while on the air (see below) - i just never informed my trusty mac that i had temporarily relocated to new york city

Yeh it should be fun. Hey, my NEP engineer is telling me he just checked the GVG website and that version isn't avaliable yet. Are you using a beta version? Where did you get it? thanks

This should be fixed in v12.0.2.2 although the problem I always experienced was that the timeline would run through the pause in the middle without triggering the accompanying animation. It hasn't happened since we loaded 12.0.2.2.
