Playlist defaults in the properties (.xml) file

Post by Terry Payman »

Many years ago I requested user-changeable defaults for the playlist transition duration/style and the scene duration, and I have a vague recollection of this feature being implemented :D :D :D (https://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/vi ... =xml#p6472

Unfortunately I have lost the details of the specific .xml entries required, and a forum search found only the above link. :cry:

I would be very grateful for a reminder of the necessary .xml entries!

Hey Terry, long time no see.

The XML is in C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\MAGIC

Can't see anything obvious for duration defaults in there though. Need Eric if they're hidden options.

Hey Sadler, long time indeed. Good to hear from you :)

Thanks for your response. My problem wasn't finding the XML, but I do remember that the options were hidden.

It would be good to have a single place in which these and any other options (such as the invaluable "-mi" multiple instance switch) were listed, even if their use is deemed too esoteric for inclusion in the User's Guide.

Good question, I couldn't find them in any other post, but here they are:
defaultTransitionDuration (seconds)
defaultTransitionStyle (0, 1, or 2) (which corresponds to none, crossfade, additive dissolve)
defaultAutoAdvanceDuration (seconds)
