We're going to need a little more to go on, e.g.,

1. What is your Macro designed to do?
2. Can you upload your Macro so we can test it?

First I must start it, you know red button, recording?

when i click on recording gray button, stop button becamo white and then file save as in dimmed

You don't use File → Save to save a Macro, instead in the Macro panel select the Add to Library icon, third from the right in the top row of icons. This will add your Macro to the Library panel where you can select it and run it...

You can't Save your document until you've either Saved or Stopped Recording your Macro, i.e., you need to click the White Stop Recording button first and either Save or dismiss the Macro you are recording...

OK but Macro doesn't work as should, red button doesn't appear, so I cant do Macro and I can't save document, concentrate on Macro problem please

Without knowing what you are specifically trying to record in your Macro it's difficult to provide constructive feedback, not all functions in Affinity Photo can be recorded in a Macro so it would help if you could either detail the steps you are trying to record or probably easier, upload a screen recording showing the steps you are trying to record so we can see where the issue lies...

Currently, the only information we have to work with is "Why macro doesn't work in my imported jpeg", which is not overly helpful and provides no information we can use to help you resolve the issue...

Firs red button must be seen before anything is applied to, Look plesae on youtube link, if anything cant't do with macro then massage appear with tekst, If you answer and look of problem or none.

I watched the YouTube clip in its entirety and it clearly explains how to Record and Save (7:30) a Macro...

This is what I see when recording and applying a Macro, could you perhaps upload your own screen recording to show us which part of this process isn't working for you so we can better help you and figure out where the problem lies...

Now I now what is the case, in prefreneces user interface I set Icon style in mono, so when I try set macro, red dot is also in Mono, but that should not be so? This is bug.
