Methods to Reopen Macros

Method 1: Using the Original Composition

If you have the original composition (comp) you made the macro with, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have the original comp open.
2. Select the nodes that were used to create the macro.
3. Reopen the macro with the selected nodes.

By doing this, the nodes will be reconnected to the output automatically.

Method 2: Reopening the File Directly

If you do not have the original comp, you can reopen the file directly:

1. Open the file that contains the macro.
2. The nodes will be loaded, and reconnected to the output.
3. You will need to reselect your node in red for custom controls.

Important Notes

• The window will load the nodes, main inputs, outputs, and all controls/user controls stored in the macro.
• Only macros created with the new macro creator can be reopened at the moment. Future updates will support all macros.
• You can open either a .setting file or a .drmacro file.
• By default, you will be directed to the saves folder to choose old .drmacro files, but you can easily navigate to another folder to choose a different file.
