Enables and Delegates
The E-MEM system is divided into functional levels. Some or all
of the levels contribute to the overall look of a given effect. Those
levels must run in sync with each other in order for the effect to
look right.
When an effect is run from the E-MEM panel, all levels which
contribute to the effect must be enabled. All enabled levels will
respond to run commands from the E-MEM panel.
When an effect is created, keyframes could be inserted on all
enabled levels; however, doing so would make it more difficult to
modify the effect. To facilitate placing keyframes at different times
on different levels, effect editing operations are limited to delegated
levels only.
A level may be in one of three states:
■ Not enabled and not delegated (does not appear in Timeline
menu)
■ Enabled but not delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
not highlighted)
■ Enabled and delegated (appears in Timeline menu; title is
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.
