<![CDATA[Instant volume change in movie player]]>I would like to change the volume of my video from 0 to 100 and the other way around. Unfortunately there is a delay of about half a second. Is there any way to get it changing instantly? I am on windows 10 and using a Photo-jpg Quicktime movie. Has anybody an idea?

And anyway I also need the smooth transitions. By the way I used wav-files.
I now tried an mp3-file which is played only in the movieplayer, not in the sound-player. But this seems to works fine now for me.

Have you tried with the ultra short fade?

You may be better to use a short (1/4 second) fade..

I tried all 3 settings, but all had cracks in the sound.

Open Quicktime Player, and check its audio setup in preferences.
You likely have a few options there. Depending on your system's audio card, one may be better than the others.
I am using 'Windows Audio Session' and haven't had problems, but you may do better with 'Direct Sound', or 'Safe Mode'.

But no I want to change the volume of a soundplayer instantly from 0 to 100 and back as well as do slight volumefades. When changing I hear always some short  "audio cracks". Is there any chance to change the volme clean?

Or try the [HAP codec](http://vdmx.vidvox.net/blog/hap-windows).

There is a Knowledge Base article about the best way for windows to go: http://troikatronix.com/support/kb/optimizing-for-speed/
**excerpt**: _When running Windows, we recommend using AVI or WMV formats, because these movies will use native Windows routines for playback, as opposed to .mov files which require Apple’s QuickTime. _

But now I have some jerk (I hope thsi is the right word). Its just not playing perfectly smooth, although the framerate is constantly at 25fps. And since I have very slow camerapans in my video this is very important. Any idea what could work better.

But unfortunalty the quality is not good, even on 100%. So I will try mp4, or did you have any bad experience with that?

thanks for your advice. I used avi with the Intel IYUV codec (because i dont have the cinepak codec) and sound is instantly there. Perect!

AVI, can contain many things. Using Cinepak will give performance similar to a pjpeg mov (my experience)

Its important to note, that currently .mp4 as well as the sound formats are handled by Quicktime in Isadora.

Both Hap and pjpg use QuickTime for playback, therefore the audio also uses it.
Perhaps recompressing to a Directshow codec will help in that the audio will pay via a new engine.
If you continue to have problems, please open a support ticket (link in my signature) and I will do my best to help you find a solution.

Works perfectly as well. But maybe you find a windows person. 306841-screen-shot-2016-08-22-at-19.13.12.png

Still the gap in the audio when looping. And still the delay when turning on/off audio volume.

And you can also loop the file without having a short audio gap always when the file starts from the beginning?

I could not recognise any Delay so far. Using Mp4 by the way

thanks  for your tip. I tried the HAP codec, but unfortunately it doesnt help. Looping the file still has the audio gap.I also tried preloading the file with the prloading actor, but that doesnt help either.

But the word on the street is that it should now be considered a legacy codec. My first step would be to suggest re-rendering it in the HAP codec and see if this clears up your issue. -Alex
