macOS Mojave 2017 MBP TB VDJ2020
VDJ will sometimes save setting and sometimes not. i'm new to the platform, so i don't know what it's supposed to do.
for example, the Performance Skin Video Rack always disappears. the sources are all reset. maybe that's normal? annoying.
but also just regular settings. i use the FaderStartStop pref as a diagnostic. i set it to No and every time i redstart it's back to Yes.
but then i set RPM to 4 Beats and it stays.
i have all correct permissions.
i even gave VDJ Full Disk Access.
i even made a symlink from a different folder to the Documents folder because i'm using iCloud Drive and it causes problems with Traktor as you have to d/l files and if the software doesn't get them right away it says file missing.

racks are reset that's normal, a oninit script could fix that for you.
faderstart, does your hardware offer the function? [that could be over riding settings on start]

ok, i got the Video Rack to automatically load on start.
CONTROLLERS>
Keyboard>
Key:
ONINIT
Action:
set '$rack' 1 & set '$video_rack' 1 & load_skin
and now my FaderStart setting is retained ?!
ok..so.. all my VFX have been reset.
how do i retain those setting?
i'm using the video to live stream a wedding, so i'm not interested in actually playing videos, but showing a wide camera of the ceremony and reception with an occasional slide show.
it is also retaining my logo settings.

vfx settings are a mixed bag, video fx slot isn't saved but you could oninit that, vfx slider/button settings should be saved but that can depend on what you have on what deck and if you have more than 1 instance [as they all have a common .ini file], again that could be oninit fixed. the one thing [i think] you have no oninint fixing abilities is more than 1 instance and position boxes

well.. i'll take what i can get.

look up the
video_fx
actions in app, for deck specified, prefix with
deck X
there's also
effect_string "fxname" Z [Z being string number]
for string based params

so would i on the ONINIT Key add:
& video_fx_select "Strobe" & video_source_select "webcam" & video_transition_select "Fade"
what i don't understand is how it knows which deck to set this on. i want to do it for all 4 decks/sources.
script verbs (plugins>video_fx)

& video_fx_select "Strobe" & video_source_select "webcam" & video_transition_select "Fade"

only 1 transition slot available [and that's deck master so no need to spec a deck], [I think that's also true of source select]
and I'm guessing you're wanting the fx on deck master
& deck master video_fx_select "Strobe" & video_source_select "webcam" & video_transition_select "Fade"
lots of ways you could want this could be set so I'm "erm-ing" a bit
