Using macro to control xfade in playback window
Hello, to controlling a zoom chase, I want the Xfade set by a macro. If I do this when my chase is on a playback fader is isn't a problem. If I create the same macro (edit times - select playback - Xfade 0% - exit) on a playback in the playback window, the macro is just opening the playback view and edit time settings. How can I also use this macro for playbacks in the playback window?

Re: Using macro to control xfade in playback window
Strange, I have the same issue - this doesn't look right.
However, there are ready-made macros for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% XFade - and they definitely work even for chasers in the Playbacks window.

[Show All]
in the Unassigned section find the macros Chase XFade 100% etc.

select the macro(s) you want
click the spot where you want the macro to have

Re: Using macro to control xfade in playback window
Okey nice, that is handy.
Now I have another strange problem; The chase I want to change by the Xfade macro is placed in the playback window and works fine. But I have a cuelist where that chase is autoloaded but if it its activated by the cuelist, the Xfade macro doesn't work... How can I fix this?

Re: Using macro to control xfade in playback window
The XFade macro sets the xfade of the CONNECTED chase. I assume essentially your cuelist is connected to the control section, thus the macro doesn't work. You could create you own macro which
- connects the chaser
- sets its xfade (probably by calling the other macro)
- disconnects the chaser
- optionally you could even reconnect to the cuelist.
Only problem i see: this would always refer to the very handles (the fader/button where the chaser and cuelist are stored)

Re: Using macro to control xfade in playback window
I have tried creating a macro following your original steps and it appears to work for me providing the steps in the Edit Times menu are correct.
My steps were as follows:
My steps were as follows:
- From the program main menu, start recording macro.
- Select the Edit Times softkey followed by the playback button.
- Press the Enter button.
- Select the XFade softkey.
- Type the new value e.g. 0 and then press Enter.
- Press the Exit button.
