Crossfade Editor Preferences

Clicking the Settings button opens the Crossfade Editor Preferences in the program settings:

ClosedPosition changes

Nudge Steps: Select up to three step sizes for the crossfade editor. You can also enter fractions of milliseconds like 0.2 ms.

Remember last step width: If this option is active, then the last step size selected will be used with the next edit.

Default Move/Object Mode: When the crossfade editor is opened, the mode set here is used.

Default linked positions/parameters: With this setting, the crossfade editor opens preset with position link enabled for fade-out and fade-in.

ClosedPlayback

Default Pre/Post Play: Here you decide whether option Play Pre/Post should be active for the playback button by default.

Pre-roll time Post-roll time : Here you determine the pre- and post-roll time in seconds for the corresponding playback functions in the crossfade editor and in the menu Play/Rec > Play cut.

ClosedDisplay

Default Horizontal Auto zoom: Set the status of the "Auto zoom" button when the Crossfade Editor is opened.

Crossfade part of screen (%): Specify how much of the screen the crossfade should occupy when the Crossfade Editor is opened or after Autozoom. If you enter the value 0, the value for the Minimal screen range (ms) will be used.

Remember horizontal zoom width:If you select this option, the next time you open the Crossfade Editor, the last set horizontal zoom level will be recalled.

Vertical auto zoom of waveform: This scales the graphical representation of the sampled data of each object independently to a maximum. This allows you to better detect transients, but the waveform data of the objects no longer reflects the level relationships between the objects.

Dim unused audio: You can disable the visual attenuation of the unused audio for better visual juxtaposition of the upper and lower objects here.

ClosedOperation

Enable undo: Here you turn on/off the "Undo" function.

Restrict mouse operations: If active, restrict mouse operations in the project window to actions that are executable according to the current position link state and move mode to avoid operating errors.

No object movement with mouse in linked "Classical" mode: This locks the movement of linked objects in "Classical" mode.

Ignore position link status in "Audio with fade-in" move mode: This turns off the link status in "Audio with fade-in" move mode. The background is that the Audio with Fade mode with active Position Link is not very useful and you will mostly disable the Link status for it. This option will save you a few clicks.

Ignore mixer keys: This disables the mixer key shortcuts Page up, Page down, Home and Arrow keys for a selected fader to be able to use these keys for inputs in the project window.

Keep focus: Activate this option so that the crossfade editor always remains in focus, even after mouse operations in the project window.

Center crossfade for zooming: If this option is active, the crossfade is always displayed centered when zooming.

Always center crossfade: If this option is active, the crossfade is always displayed centered when zooming or moving objects.

Legacy mode (CFE must be reopened): Activate this option to restore the previous behavior of the crossfade editor. The crossfade is displayed in a special zoom view of the VIP, in which selected objects are displayed enlarged around the intersection point. Several superimposed crossfades are stacked vertically. After activation, the crossfade editor must be reopened. Note: This mode is not officially supported or further developed and may be dropped in future versions.
