With media server applications, it is often the case that you have to jump to a previously unknown position in the timeline.
If there is content at this point that should be displayed immediately, it can happen that it is not always loaded or displayed at the same time.
This is particularly the case if different content is to be displayed at this point. For example, a background layer with logos or live input streams above it.

With such unexpected jumps, the render engine has no chance of preloading the frames at this point. This can lead to this delay.

In order to master this challenge visually, there is the option of delaying fades to a time or fades to a cue.

This delays the execution a little, but gives the render engine time to preload the frames there.

These settings can be found in PIXERA - Settings - General:

Usual times for this are 100-200ms. The exact time required depends on the content at the target point of the jump.
