Changing In/Outpoint Behavior on Media Change

By default, when media is changed the in and out-points are reset to the in and out-frames of the new media. Though this is often expected, it may not be desirable in certain circumstances. To change it, the Engine XML must be edited.

• Stop the Engine and Zookeeper
• Find the Engine XML, it is located in: C:\Users\*User*\Hippo\Appdata\Local\GreenHippo\4_2\HFWStorage
• The Engine XML is a Unique ID prefaced with “Engine”.
• Open the XML with note pad
• Locate the line containing bMediaSelectModifiesInOut

By Default this reads:

<StorageEntry Name="bMediaSelectModifiesInOut" Class="bool" Value = "true"/>

Change this to:

<StorageEntry Name="bMediaSelectModifiesInOut" Class="bool" Value = "false"/>

• Save the file and close it
• Restart the engine and Zookeeper
