Programmer

The Programmer is a temporary buffer that caches your value changes. VERTEX holds these changes until you save or clear them.

VERTEX has to be set to Programmer Mode manually.

You are able to use multiple Programmers in your project.

Workflow

programmer-01

Property changes for Clip Containers and items are eventually saved as keyframes in the project only after you click to the save button in the Programmer window.

You can work on a whole scene, make changes and only store the final result. People from the world of lighting consoles should be familiar with this workflow.

All properties and values that are currently affected by a Programmer list, are underlined red in the Inspector.

VERTEX is set to Value Mode by default. Go to Status Bar: bottom-right drop down to switch between the modes.
