Update and Versioning of Macros/Titles
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2021 4:06 pm
So i have been building an SMS title which i need for a show. So far so good, all seems pretty flexible, expressions and all.
So i save as a Macro and expose some parameters and pop that in Titles.
I can use that across different projects.
Now i realise that i need to make a global change to the Macro, so i open up the fusion source, tweak and then save it again, overwriting the old Macro.
But that doesn't work, seems that once you've used a macro then that particular one is embedded in the timeline.
So is this alway the case? Is there any way i can select what's already on the timeline and update it to the new macro? Otherwise it could be a huge nightmare if i can to recreate several hundred of them one by one...
I am pretty new to this...
thanks!
