(Naturally, if an image or title has previously been previously assigned to the active preset for the designated
buffer, the new file will replace the current one.)
Note: Generally, Buffers are linked to the original source file on disk. Having added a file to a buffer using
the “Send to (Buffer x)” menu, it no longer matters whether the item continues to be available in a Media
Player playlist. The buffer link will only fail if the original file is moved, or deleted from the hard drive - with
one exception: editable title page buffers are fully independent of their original source files.
11.4.3 BUFFERS MENU
Right-click a thumbnail icon in the Buffers pane to open a menu offering two items:
Rename allows you to assign a custom name to the buffer. The
name will also be visible in menus (such as DSK source menus).
Configure opens the standard configuration options, including
cropping, color processing, and even LiveMatte keying.
The Unload option clears the effect, freeing Switcher Memory
reserved for effects.
Hint: A small [x] button appears over the upper-right corner on rolling the cursor into a Buffers tab icon.
This button simply provides another convenient method of unloading an effect from Switcher Memory.
11.4.4 ANIMATION FEATURES
The thumbnail icon for a buffer with an animation effect assigned to it provides several additional features.
As mentioned earlier, animation effects can be of either looping or auto-run type (the type determination is
made in the Animation Store Creator utility when the effect is generated).
