So i am trying to explore automation a bit more again and one of the things I would like to do is trigger a macro when a clip ends. There is already the ability to right clip on any given clip in your DDR and assign a macro to when the clip begins playing or stops which is perfect for what I want to do. The issue is there doesn't seem to be a way to grammatically set the macro.
In my case I am working with the replay ability so I would need to set this macro on new clips regularly and I wouldn't want to to have to manually assign the macro every new clip.
Usually in this area I use the automation Tab of DDR and I actually have a macro I do use when the tally light becomes active/inactive. The issue I am running into is that I am using the DDR on an ME so the tally state doesn't change when the clip ends, it just sits there It would be great if there was an extra check box on the DDRs like there are for clips where you could set a DDR2 wide setting say when a clip starts to play or stops.
Anyone think of a way to work around what is currently available in the TC1?
Why?
One of my methods of replay is to use an ME and use the comp animation to scale down the live image, show the replay then scale back up. I use this with timers in macros currently and it works really well if the clip is always a specific duration. But If I need to show something longer than what is in the macros that method wont work. I did use a pause in the macro which got me fairly close but it still requires me to wait for the clip to end and then press the continue button which is not as clean.
Thanks for any ideas!
