I added a 15 second sound file. It's exactly 15 seconds of silence - wav format. I found through trial and error that setting an animation length of XX seconds didn't always mean your song was XX seconds. With the media file, it should be exactly 15 seconds. I used the media sequence wizard and specified the file as I always do.
I also zoomed in as close as I could and put the start of the transition at the VERY beginning of the file to try and be as accurate as possible.
I wonder if version 2.5 is dropping the track length identifier... Based on what I'm doing, it's probably not that difficult to add the duration. Royal pain for anyone else trying to do this... I bet a good friend of mine could script something together to add the line after prompting the user "how many seconds is your file?"
I will admit that I hit a limit with setnet.py. It looks like that file uses approximately 5.4X RAM of the lms file it's parsing??
I was not able to run setnet.py on my 460 MB file (out of memory), but I was able to run it (at 2 GB or RAM usage) on my 370 MB file. Oddly, the xmlreplace.exe script did run, but holy smokes did it use RAM. On the 370 MB file, it used around 6 GB of RAM. Yikes!!!! That's for 15 seconds of my sequence!!! I'm clearly going to be building this show in micro-sized pieces this year. Guess that's the penalty for moving from 4,166 channels to nearly 12,000?
