Edit page activates hidden controls in macros

PostMon May 06, 2024 7:08 am

It seems that when working with macros Resolve 'internally selects/activates' the actual tools that are inside the macro and displays the view controls that go along with it, but *only* when you animate the controls.

This only happens in the Edit page, but not in the Fusion page (or Fusion standalone) I can work around it by manually setting everything to

INPID_PreviewControl = "none"

but I think that kind of defeats the purpose of building a macro and only exposing what I need.

Here's a very basic example. In this case I've only 'exported' the center control, because I don't want people to be able to adjust the size, but as soon as I animate the center control the `pivot, angle and size viewcontrols appear in the Edit page and they can be adjusted.

Code: Select all
{
   Tools = ordered() {
      Xformtest = GroupOperator {
         Inputs = ordered() {
            MainInput1 = InstanceInput {
               SourceOp = "Transform1",
               Source = "Input",
            },
            Input1 = InstanceInput {
               SourceOp = "Transform1",
               Source = "Center",
            }
         },
         Outputs = {
            MainOutput1 = InstanceOutput {
               SourceOp = "Transform1",
               Source = "Output",
            }
         },
         ViewInfo = GroupInfo { Pos = { 0, 0 } },
         Tools = ordered() {
            Transform1 = Transform {
               CtrlWZoom = false,
               ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 440, 16.5 } },
            }
         },
      }
   },
   ActiveTool = "Xformtest"
}
