Pausing the autopilot

[lemnn]

Hello,
Great work to the entire team on the new Autopilot features — it's truly impressive!

With Autopilot now having its own timeline, would it be possible to implement a pause and resume function? Right now, it's somewhat possible by toggling it on and off, but it resumes by starting the duration from zero. It would be really helpful to have the ability to pause at any point within the timeline of a clip and then resume from the same position, continuing the timeline.

Thanks!

Do you want to also pause your clips or only the autopilot?

If you want to pause it all you can use those buttons:

By default this pauses all clips and autopilots for new compositions made with 7.22.0 or later, for compositions from older versions you can enable that option for Global Transport in the composition-menu:

Hey!

Thanks for your suggestions, but that wouldn’t work for me, as I’d like to just pause the autopilot.

I’ve got a few layers with different clips running with autopilot, but there are moments when I’d like to overlay something over all those layers, but I’d love to pause the autopilot when something is overlayed, and unpause when resuming.

Technically it’s doable with controlling every layers clip transport with a shortcut, and setting autopilot to clip transport, but it would be super to have a pause button.

And just for my understanding, you then want to clips to still be playing? or do you also want to pause the clips? If I'm reading it correctly, you just want to pause the autopilot behavior, right?
