Hi All
A feature request I feel would be useful.. I have just programmed a show where I have put all video content in a group with the trigger action set to “fade all list” on start - this has meant I’ve been able to avoid needing any fade cues to fade content out - everything just crossfades and where I do need a cue to fade something out I just add an empty group cue (which then does the fade out for me) - very neat and far quicker than otherwise
The one thing that is still slow is fading stuff in (where required, from black) - Something that would be really useful for this (and other) use cases would be a trigger action to “fade to xx over xx seconds” - for video this would do opacity, for audio it would affect only the master fader. This would then make programming simple linear shows a breeze!

Hi Richard
To make sure I understand you, your proposal is that this option would fade from -INF to the set level for the main audio level, and from 0% to the set level for opacity, is that accurate?

Yeah exactly, although thinking it through you would set the levels on the actual video/audio/camera cue, and the on start trigger would fade from 0/inf to the cue’s opacity/master level
