Hola :)
So, I got a bunch of hotkeys mapped tonight for video transitions, but the one that I wanted to make I just couldn't figure out.
I wanted to do something like:
"video_transition 40%"
So that the video crossfader sliiiiiides over to 40%. I can put in crossfader 40% and it just jumps straight to it... I want to use the transition I have loaded too, and that way wouldn't work for that.
So can it be done? Any help appreciated!

No one can weigh in on this one? There has to be a way to slide it to a specific spot..... right? I just figure since you can make it just MOVE to that spot, you should be able to make it SLIDE to that same spot.

I thought I replied to this... anyway, I tried all different combinations with the auto crossfader and nothing worked, the closest I could get is if you manually do it with a keyboard and use this script, It wont work for 40% and 60% I think it needs to be fractions 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 etc...
video_crossfader 75% ? nothing : video_crossfader +1
video_crossfader 25% ? nothing : video_crossfader -1
If I were you, I would make a toggle shift to activate it, something like below should work well, with it if you have the shift activated it will stop at 25% or 75%, but if shift (up arrow) is not activated it will crossfade as normal. I also made the down arrow auto crossfade
up arrow (shift button)
toggle 'vcf_25_75'
or
holding 1000ms ? set 'vcf_25_75' 1 : set 'vcf_25_75' 0
left arrow
var_equal 'vcf_25_75' 1 ? video_crossfader 25% ? nothing : video_crossfader -1 : video_crossfader -1
right arrow
var_equal 'vcf_25_75' 1 ? video_crossfader 75% ? nothing : video_crossfader +1 : video_crossfader +1
down arrow
var_equal 'vcf_25_75' 1 ? video_crossfader_auto : auto_crossfade
video_crossfader 75% ? nothing : video_crossfader +1
video_crossfader 25% ? nothing : video_crossfader -1

Thanks syn :)
What I ended up doing was just mapping some keyboard keys to certain timings. Usually for a 80-99 BPM song it will take about 30-40 seconds to totally fade from one to the other on a 32-count break, so I mapped that to NUM +, and 15 seconds at NUM-. I mapped left to right as the right arrow, right to left as the left arrow, etc.
Its crude, but with practice seems to be working. I think I am going to get a BASIC midi DJ controller like that gemini one and map the fader to the video fader and all the buttons (play, cue, etc) to those maps I just mentioned. I am just not sure if it will be worth it.
