Inter face
Tag Time—Displays the cur rent frame, to which
the tag will b e assigned.
Tag Name—Enter the name of the tag. You can
create a long tag name in this field, but the t ag slot
willdisplayonly15characters.
Lock T i me —Locks the tag to the current frame,
regardless of subsequent scaling of time.
Forexample,withLockTimeoff,ifyouhaveatag
named"Forty"atframe40,andyouscaletimeup
200 percent, the Forty tag will b e at frame 80. If
Lock Time is on, the Forty tag remains at fra me 40.
Relative To—Lets you assign another tag to which
the current tag will maintain a relative offset.
For example, if you have a tag at frame 10 called
First and you create a second tag at frame 30 called
Second, if you move the position of First to frame
25, Second w i ll move to f r ame 45 to maintain the
20-frame offset between the two tags.
This is a one-way offset. If you change the time
position of the second tag in the example, the first
tag is not affec ted. Circular depen dencies are not
allowed: you can’t have First relative to Second and
Second relative to First.
