### Set All Settings and Recording Macros

When you are recording a macro, the Set All Settings button will appear at the bottom of the page. Tap to record all settings for the selected transition into the macro.

## Automations

In MixEffect 1.4.0, an Automations link appears at the bottom of the Transitions section or sheet. You can use this to quickly create a Transition preset for the current keyer selected.

> **NOTE**: This option will only appear if you have **Enable Automations** active in MixEffect Settings and if you have **Enable Shortcuts** or **Enable OSC** turned on.

* **Set Transition Mix Details / Set Transition Dip Details / Set Transition Wipe Detals / Set Transition Sting Details / Set Transition DVE Details**: Tapping the Add to Siri button will create a shortcut that uses appropriate action for the selected transition.
* **Send OSC Message**: Tapping the Add to Siri button will create a shortcut that uses the Send OSC Message to send the appropriate transition message to MixEffect.
* **OSC**: If you prefer to enter the OSC commands directly into Companion, this section shows you exactly what you need to enter. For commands with multiple arguments, be sure to choose the `Send message with multiple arguments` action when using the Generic OSC module.

> **NOTE**: You cannot animate transition settings, so the Use Custom Animation, Duration, and Animation Style options are not available when creating a Transition Automation.
