Creating Memory Locations
Memory Locations can be created in different ways, based on the type of Memory Location:
• Marker Memory Location
Refers to a specific point in the timeline.
• Selection Memory Location
Refers to an Edit Selection
• General Properties Memory Location
Refers to a combination of project settings (such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, Show/Hide status for tracks, Track Heights, and Edit and Mix Group enables).
When creating Memory Locations, the next available number is assigned to it (1–999). This number is used in recalling the Memory Location from the numeric keypad.
To create a Marker Memory Location:
1. Configure any project settings you will save with the Marker Memory Location, such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, and Track Heights.
2. Do one of the following:
Click with the Selector tool in any track or ruler at the location where you want to place the Marker. To place a Marker at the beginning of a clip, select the clip with the Grabber tool. Click the Add Marker/Memory Location button (or press Enter on the numeric keypad).
While pressing the Control (Mac) or Start key (Windows), move the cursor into the Markers ruler (where the cursor changes to the Grabber with a “+”) and click at the location where you want to place the Marker.
3. In the New Memory Location dialog, select the Marker option and set the Reference to either Bar|Beat or Absolute.
4. Enter a Name for the new Marker and select any General Properties you want to save with the Marker.
5. Click OK. The Marker is created and appears in the Markers ruler, and in the Memory Locations window.
To create a Selection Memory Location:
1. Configure any project settings you will save with the Selection Memory Location, such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, Show/Hide status for tracks, and Track Heights.
2. Select a range of material in one or more tracks.
3. Do one of the following:
Press Enter on the numeric keypad.
From the Memory Locations Window menu, choose
Add Memory Location.
4. In the New Memory Location dialog, select the Selection option and set the Reference to either Bar|Beat or Absolute.
5. Enter a Name for the new Memory Location and select any General Properties you want to save with it.
6. Click OK. The Selection Memory Location is created and appears in the Memory Locations window.
To create a General Properties Memory Location:
1. Configure any project settings you will save with the Selection Memory Location, such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, and Track Heights.
2. Press Enter on the numeric keypad.
3. In the Memory Location dialog, select the None option.
4. Enter a Name for the new Memory Location and select any General Properties you want to save with it.
5. Click OK. The General Properties Memory Location is created and appears in the Memory Locations window.
In the New Memory Location dialog, you can Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) any General Property to enable or disable all properties. You can also Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) any property to toggle its state and the state of all other General Properties.
