    Is there a way to set the default option for the end action to be paused instead of play next?

    Hi Trenton,

    This feature will be available in the 1.2 BVS software release which is expected out in late January.

    Once it is out the following instructions will work for you:

    Go to your DashBoard computer and into the following directory:

    C;DashBoardworkspace.metadata.plugins.com.rossvideo.softmetal.riceconf

    Open the file named: defaultSettings.xml

    In this file there should be a line that has the setting

    defaultNewECAType it probably says: next after it.

    Change the 'next' to 'pause'. (don't include the quotes).

    You will now have a line of text that says:

    defaultNewECAType=pause

    If you had DashBoard open when you made this change you MUST restart DashBoard for this change to take effect.

    This now means that any clip you drop onto a new playlist will have 'pause' as it's new End of Clip Action.

    Possible values are: 'xfade','vfade','vfadepause','next','pause','holdcuepause'

    (Don't actually include the quote when you type it in, just match what is already in the file).

    This only modifies what happens from the computer that you have DashBoard installed on, if you run it from a different computer you will have to make that change in that DashBoard as well.

    Troy.
