Running Playbacks

There are two ways to see the different running playbacks. This can be useful when trying to find out what is running and also to quickly turn off different playbacks.

Running Playback Window

It can be a window on a screen. This is called Running Playbacks and can be created like any other window. It is in the "More" tab.

Each running object is displayed as a pool object and can be interacted with using some commands. For instance, it is possible to use the Off keyword to turn off a sequence, timecode, or macro by pressing Off and then tap the object in the window.

This window can show three different types of objects: Sequences, Timecodes, and Macros.

Toggle between them by tapping Sequence, Timecodes, or Macros in the title bar. This is actually a swipe button, so it can also be pressed and swiped out to select one of the options.

It is possible to mask the objects in the window to only display the playbacks triggered by your user. This can be turned On or Off by tapping My Playbacks Only in the title bar.

The last button in the title bar is Sheet Style. This turns On or Off the sheet style for this window. The default style is pool style like the image above. Sheet style could look like this:

Currently, this mode shows fewer details, as it does not display the current cue number for the sequences.

All operations are the same no matter what style is chosen.

The only other option for the Running Playbacks window is the possibility to change the font size. These settings can also be found in the Running Playback Settings opened by tapping the MA logo in the upper left corner of the title bar.

 

Off Menu

The other way to see running playbacks is to open a temporary version of the window. This is called the Off Menu. It is opened by pressing Off twice:

This is the same as the Running Playbacks window with a few exceptions.

When the menu is in Pool Style there are two buttons at the bottom of the pop-up and the pool style has a permanent Off function, meaning that tapping any object instantly turns the object off.

The button called All Sequences Off in the image above changes depending on the settings. This means that it says All Macros Off if the pool displays the macros and similar for timecode. It also changes from All to My if the pool only displays your sequences or macros. Tapping it does what the button says.

Tap Everything Off to immediately turn all playback off.

In Sheet Style, there is an extra button and Off is not the default function. This means that it is possible to select multiple rows in the sheet and then tap the extra Off Selected button to turn off the selection.

The pop-up can be closed like any other pop-up by tapping the in the upper right corner.
