{{tag> master release time }}

This selection of macros lets you change the master release time. These macros have [[:macros:active_binding]] set so they will highlight and give visual feedback.

The code below is a snippet of the whole file which contains macros for various release times (the same times you will find for palette fade).


==== affected properties ====
  * [[:macros:property:Playbacks.MasterReleaseTime]]


===== Code =====
<code xml releasetime.xml>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<avolites.macros xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Avolites.Menus.xsd">

    <active binding="{propertyLink id='Playbacks.MasterReleaseTime' 
      converter='Playbacks.Editor.Times.TimeEqualityConverter' 
      converterParameter='5'}"/>

===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[:macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

  * ''Playbacks.MasterReleaseTime'' is the property that defines the master release time and needs to be set via ''ActionScript.SetProperty''
  * ''active binding'' is used to highlight a macro when the corresponding property (''propertyLink id'') matches the ''converterParameter''. A good starting point to understand active binding is either this wiki or this post in the Avo forum [[http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5962]]
