Initial Values for Speed Dials

[Brian Ely]

Is there a way to set the initial values for Speed Dials ?

I do a lot of live shows and have set up chases that are controlled by two speed dials - One controls the Fade in/Fade out and the other the duration.

My issue is that when ever I go into Playback mode, all the initial values shown on the speed dials are zero and I'd like them to be certain values. Obviously I can set individual fade in/out/duration values when defining the chase but would like this extra flexibility.

There's a global setting that does it.
Click on the virtual console properties button (screwdriver) then on Widgets tab and set a default start value

Hi Massimo,

I can see this value. It's default is .00 and if I change it to any value higher than .99 it's not saved. Also, no matter what value up to .99, it doesn't appear to change the speed dial values.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I just tried. Writing 3000 (3000 milliseconds) set it to 3 seconds.
All working.

Ah... I can see that now - It was the notation as once I typed it in as 3000 it gets converted to 03s.00

If type 10s.75 that's also fine but what if I want 01m 10s .00 - I can't work out the correct notation. If I type 70000 it gets re-written as 01m.00 when I go back in to inspect the value.

Also, the value doesn't update the actual values on the speed dials until I reload the Workspace - Is that intentional?
