Purpose of "Assist" sections in Activities

I don't understand the purpose of the three Assist sections (Picture, Sound, Power) on the Activities tab. When I construct an Activity macro, I set all of those.

I thought maybe it was so that I could set, for instance, a Picture Assist function for 1080p and then select that across multiple Activities - to avoid having to repetitively write nearly identical macros - but that doesn't appear to be the case from what I can tell.

I'm sure this is documented somewhere, so my apologies as I could not locate anything.

Thanks.

I haven't found any practical use for them. But I tried my best to explain them here:

Huh. Ok. I probably read that on Day 1, but didn't register I guess.

One other minor question - am I correct that in an existing macro, you can't change the "Pause after (secs)" of an existing macro key activity? It seems I have to add the function again with the new delay and remove the existing.

Thank you!

Correct, can't edit the pause, have to replace it.

Thank you! (wish there were a post "Thanks" or "Thumbs up")
