[Fix 11.6.1] Fading of paused videos

Post by Tewkesound » Wed Oct 19, 2016 5:19 pm

Hi,

I'm not sure if this should be a bug report, a feature request, or a general query, so sorry if I have put the topic in the wrong place.

Is it possible to fade out a paused video cue?

The "auto pause at end of video" is really useful but the only way to clear the resulting image is to Stop the cue or fade in something else. At the moment I have been creating a slide show with a screen grab of the last video frame following the video. This is marked as "continuous" so it can be faded with a manual cue.

Have I missed something here?

Thanks,

Rob

I have the same problem. Regardless of the fade time set either in the cue itself or through the time overide field of an SFR cue, a paused video will bump to black instead of fading as expected.

I'm running with the LAV filters installed, Video Library set to TVG, and Renderer set to [Auto-select].

Sorry this slipped through the cracks, Rob. I've emailed you both details of a new version that should fix this error.

Mike, just wanted to double-check: what's the current behavior with fading of paused videos? And what limitations should I be aware of?
