Hi Mike,

here is some info on how you can control exactly the duration
of a visual transition...

Set the property "the effectrate" first to some value in millisecs.

Like:

set the effectrate to 1500  ## results in 1.5 seconds ;-)

And now the hard part (or better say the "semantically challenging" one 
;-)

"the effectrate" is the amount of time in millisecs that the transition
"very slow" will take to perform... The default setting is 2000.

???

That means if you script:

visual dissolve very slow
go next cd

without setting "the effectrate" first, it will take 2 secs to get to 
the next cd.

Now if you script:

set the effectrate to 300
visual dissolve very slow
go next cd

This will take 0.3 secs (300 milliseconds) to get to the next cd.

The problem is to understand the ability the duration of a transition
that is called "very slow".

We can control how fast the "very slow" will be... !
(This means "very slow" can be faster than "very fast"... 8-)
Yeah, take some time to digest this one ;-)


Have a nice weekend...
