Pause/restart a sequence associated audio
During testing in the theatre I need the audio associated with a sequence to be paused, and next restarted from where was paused.
Last year this was impossible so that I needed to create a single audio file with all the show audios to be placed in the timeline, so that I was able to pause and restart.
This feature was added since last June, or the situation it's still the same.

Hi Davide,
No Play/Pause option has been added to Sequences audio. The track on a Sequence is played when its associated Sequence is Played and stops if the Played sequence changes. The track is restarted from the beginning each time playback comes back to this sequence.
Have a nice day,

There is any plan to add this option?
Due the need to prepare this year event 61 sequences music and audio effects in a single pre-defined audio track is becoming really difficult to accomodate any change, a bit pre-computer era feeling

Hi again,
There is no plan to add this option at the moment. We'll keep it in mind.
If you need more playback options on media in a sequence, you could maybe convert your audio tracks to .mp4 and read them in players instead of adding them as sequence audio. You could then benefit from the play/pause controls available on media, maybe that would be better for your situation.
Have a nice day,

Hi Lea, was trying to use your suggestion to convert the audio tracks to mp4 and connect to a player.
Is working but having in the Sources both 65 mp4 (actually only audio) + more than 65 images/video/shaders to add visual effects is meaning hundred of them.
If I stop a sequence the next time I restart it the sources correctly start play where was stopped. But sooner or later I will need them to restart from the beginning: so far the only way I found is go in every single source property and Rewind.
With hundred of them this is unpractical, there is a collective command "rewind all" for the specific sequence, or all sequences.

Hi Davide,
Thanks for trying the suggestion.
There is no "Rewind All" button at the moment, although it is in our backlog. You could assign a keyboard key to the Rewind button of each media you have so that you could rewind them all in one click, but again that would take some repetitive work at first. Sorry that this is not convenient for your use case at this time.
Have a nice day,
Léa
