タイムコード・ショーの作成

grandMA3 ユーザマニュアル » タイムコード・ショー » Create a Timecode Show

Version 2.2

There are two basic ways to create a timecode show. The timecoded events can be recorded or added manually.

The two workflows can be combined.

A timecode show needs to be created in the Timecode pool. A new show can be added by performing a store or edit action on an empty pool object.

This creates an empty timecode show.

This show is created using the default settings. There are many settings connected to timecode shows and timecode elements like the viewer and the slots. Learn about the settings in the Timecode Settings topic.

If the edit action is used on the pool object, a pop-up editor appears, which functions like the Timecode Viewer with Setup active.

The pop-up editor is missing some tools in the toolbar on the left, which are available in the Timecode Viewer with Setup active. So, it might be better to use the Timecode Viewer.

Time Source

One of the most important elements is the source of the time. Each timecode show has a setting called TC Slot. This can be "Internal" or one of the Timecode Slots. Learn more about the timecode slots in the What are Timecode Slots topic.

If it is internal, it can be run by a Go command to the timecode show. This will put the show in play mode and run the time. The show's playback actions have an easy-access Playback Toolbar at the bottom of the Timecode Viewer window. This includes a play button().

If the time source is one of the timecode slots, then the timecode show must be in playback mode, and then the timecode slot can generate the time, or an external source can make the time run in the timecode slot.

Initially, a new timecode show is set to use the internal time source. If the timecode show should use an external source, then this source must be set up, and the timecode show must be set to listen to the relevant timecode slot. Learn how to set up external sources in the External Connections topic.

Record a Timecode Show

The timecode show can be recorded using the Record keyword. It also has a quick access button () on the Playback Toolbar at the bottom of the Timecode Viewer when Setup is active.

When the record mode is active and the selected time signal is running, then the executor actions are automatically added to the show in relevant tracks. This includes the fader movements. The different events are added to tracks. Each track represents a target. A target object can be sequences, presets, sounds, group masters, masters, and other timecode shows and slots.

This requires that objects are assigned to executors and that these are valid timecode show target objects. Learn about the valid object in the Tracks topic.

The recording can be stopped using the stop button () or the Off command on the timecode show pool object.

The recorded events can be edited after the recording.

As a default, the tracks are added to the same Track Group and the same Time Range.

If the Timecode Settings have the Record Remote Events active and the Playback and Record setting is All Events, then events triggering cues or other valid actions are automatically added to the timecode show. These settings also record events triggered by the cues in the timecode show. For instance, follow cues or cue commands. 

Manually Add Events

Events can manually be added to tracks. The track must exist, and these can be manually created. The tracks must exist inside a Track Group. The track group must be created in an empty show, and then the track can be added.

	制限
	Subtracks cannot be manually created.

Add a Track Group

Follow these steps to manually create a Track Group:

1. Make sure to have a Timecode Viewer visible and activate Setup.
2. Ensure the viewer displays the correct Timecode Show by either having the viewer display the selected timecode show and select the correct show or by selecting the correct timecode show in the timecode settings.
3. Tap and hold New Track Group.

Now, a new track group has been added. It can be unfolded by tapping the right-pointing white triangle (). This reveals that it already has one track with a time range.

Add a Track to a Track Group

Follow these steps to add a track to the track group:

1. Make sure to have a Timecode Viewer visible and activate Setup.
2. Ensure the viewer displays the correct Timecode Show by either having the viewer display the selected timecode show and select the correct show or by selecting the correct timecode show in the timecode settings.
3. Unfold the desired Track Group.
4. Tap and hold New Track.

A new track has been added to the track group.

5. Now, edit the Target cell for the track. This opens the Assignment Editor pop-up.
6. Select the desired object type by tapping one of the tabs at the top of the editor.
7. Select the desired target object in the list.

The track is now ready to get some events.

Points 5 to 7 can also be used to edit the desired target. Be aware this will break existing events in the track.

Add a Single Event to a Track

Single events can be added to the selected track. There are two ways to add events. The beginning is the same for both ways:

The first involves the green cursor:

1. Make sure to have a Timecode Viewer visible and activate Setup.
2. Ensure the viewer displays the correct Timecode Show by either having the viewer display the selected timecode show and select the correct show or by selecting the correct timecode show in the timecode settings.
3. Unfold the desired Track Group.
4. Select the desired Track.
5. Make sure the Selection Target is Events by tapping Selection Target in the title bar or by opening the settings and changing the setting in there . If the Timecode Viewer with setup active is used, then the  icon can be tapped to select the events as the selection target.

The first method involves the green cursor:

6. Move the cursor to the desired time. The cursor can be moved by tapping and holding it while moving it in the timeline or by using the Timecode Encoder Toolbar.
7. Tap  in the toolbar on the left. This adds the default event to the track.

These two steps can be repeated until all the events exist.

The second method involves tapping the track:

6. Activate the Add tool () in the toolbar on the left.
7. Tap the track where the event should be.

Repeat point 7 until all desired events exist.

	重要
	Manually created cue events only trigger follow cues, timed cues, or cue commands if the Playback and Record setting is Manual Events. Learn more about this in the Timecode Settings topic.

Add Multiple Events to a Track

Multiple events can be added to the selected track:

1. Make sure to have a Timecode Viewer visible and activate Setup.
2. Ensure the viewer displays the correct Timecode Show by either having the viewer display the selected timecode show and select the correct show or by selecting the correct timecode show in the timecode settings. 
3. Unfold the desired Track Group.
4. Select the desired Track.
5. Make sure the Selection Target is Events by tapping Selection Target in the title bar or by opening the settings and changing the setting in there . If the Timecode Viewer with setup active is used, then the  icon can be tapped to select the events as the selection target.
6. Move the cursor to the desired time. The cursor can be moved by tapping and holding it while moving it in the timeline or by using the Timecode Encoder Toolbar.
7. Tap  in the toolbar on the left. This opens the Add multiple events pop-up.

8. Type the number of desired events.
9. Change the time interval between the events.
10. Tap Add.

This adds the number of default events to the timeline using the interval from the cursor's location.

	重要
	Manually created cue events only trigger follow cues, timed cues, or cue commands if the Playback and Record setting is Manual Events. Learn more about this in the Timecode Settings topic.
