what i want to have is in addition to pre-roll a post-roll to be able to decide individually when the clip is actually unloaded. in many cases e.g. when fast animations follows mostly in multiscreens with multiclips i want to be able to run thru a part fluid and to unload the clip afterwards. in fact unloading takes nearly the same perfomance than loading. also nessesary is some kind of graphical feedback of roll-times to avoid overlapping pre-, post-rolls or containers.

Hi Matze,

as a workaround, you maybe could extend the used container to the point you wanna unload the file.
Using the new feature to not loop a video while extending the container, you would not even load data from the disc in that time.

I totally agree, that it would help to have the pre-roll time "somehow" visible. Please note, that it is possible to already pre-roll content, while there is still other content loaded on the same layer...

Cheers
Markus

what i've noticed a few weeks ago: if i set a pre-roll the container gets the same time for post-roll...thats not a good feature or it should be communicated.
