Hi,
I had this idea for video mixing, but i'm not sure how to do it.
I want the video crossfader to move to the middle when i press play and then move to the opposite side when i press cue on the deck that has just finished playing.
It would be even better if the crossfader could move slowly to the centre and to the other side, but i guess that would be harder to do!
Anybody know how i can do that?
By the way, i've got a hercules mp3 control at the moment, but looking at a DAC 3 if i can find a way of doing the video mixing without a crossfader.
Thanks.

My custom mapper for the DAC-3 controller will do this. Pressing SHIFT+PLAY will smoothly crossfade to the appropriate side, or you can instantly fade with CP+PLAY. Pressing SHIFT+CUE will fade back to the other side again. You can also control transitions and video FX from the DAC-3.
It's not possible to do a smooth transition as above with normal shortcuts, although with keyboard or MIDI shortcuts you can assign two actions to a button, allowing you to do a video_crossfade appropriately and play_pause or cue_stop (My DAC-3 MIDI mapping used prior to native DAC-3 support worked this way.)

Thanks, I'll just have to order a DAC 3 then!!!

@andytaylor: Your wish came a few weeks too early ;)
In fact what you asked has already been implemented in version 4.

Fantastic! Cheers for letting me know.
(Any news about the visualisations not working with usb soundcards problem by the way?)
