Setting the action for a rewind operation
On the GPI timeline, when the [REWIND] button in the
keyframe control block is pressed the action set for the first
keyframe is not executed; when the [RUN] button is
pressed, then the first keyframe action is executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To carry out this setting, in the Device >GPI Timeline
menu, press [Rewind Action] to recall the Rewind Action
menu. In this setting screen, use the same setting method
as in the screen for setting an action on the GPI timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the reverse arrangement,
whereby when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this
executes the action set for the first keyframe, and when the
[RUN] button is pressed the first keyframe action is not
executed. In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still
valid.
For details of the setting, see “Setting the First Keyframe
When a Rewind is Executed” (page 519).
