Application default problem

Great idea this feature !

But for me, it doesn't work : defaut settings are "timeline" for audio and video.
But if i choose "play the clip and stop at the end (the little arrow), the clip plays again....

See the screenshoot for my settings :

This option is for setting the default behaviour when first importing a clip. So if you set it to 'play once and eject', all clips imported *after that* will be set to 'play once and eject'.

Note that you can still change the setting for individual clips, this has no effect on the default behaviour setting.

If this is not working for you, could you please describe your steps in greater detail? The way I interpret your screenshots and description, things are working as expected.

During my vj set, I use loop mode for reading my pictures, that is why I chose "loop" in the default parameters. I use infrequently bpm sync for playback of audio tracks. If necessary, I go through Ableton Live.
But sometimes, for some jobs, I need to read some files containing video and audio and stop reading them at the end.
Therefore it seems logical (for me) to have the settings on default playback "timeline" and "loop".

I thought the default parameters of "preferences" were less important than the settings on the clips themselves when they are differents.

here is how I proceed:
- I set my default settings as shown in the screenshot above.
- I load a video in Resolume. It appears well on "timeline". I click on the arrow to stop playing at the end.
- I load the same box audio associated with this video. It appears well on "timeline"
- I start playing.
- At the end, instead of stopping, the clip again ..

Thanks for the clear steps, SystemD.

It goes wrong when you load the audio track *after* you change the playback mode. Because you're importing another clip (default set to loop), and merge the video clip with this, the previous setting is overridden. The result will be an AV clip set to loop.

To get the expected behaviour, first import and merge both the audio and video clips, and then change the playback mode (or change the default playback for audio clips to 'play once and eject').

Sorry, but the problem persists.
- I load the video
- I load the audio in the same clip
- I click on the arrow to play only once all
- At the end of the clip, the video starts at the beginning ....

Hmmm, there must be something going wrong then. Could you send a screenrecording of this happening?

Thanks for the screencap. Crazily enough, I can now also reproduce this is on my computer, where before it was working.

Ticket has been made!
