Extract Keyword

To get the extract keyword in the command line type Extract or the shortcut Ext in the command line.

Description

Extract is a function that applies hard values in the programmer and breaks any referenced links.

The Extract function used the same syntax as the At keyword. For more information see At keyword.

Extract works recursively and breaks references also in subobjects, for example, a preset in a cue in an extracted sequence.

Extract will obey the At filter and the program time.
