When I add a Video to a QLC chaser there is a small gap while the video opens. I have some looped animations that need to transition seamlessly into the next video when called.

Does anyone have any solution to this?

And this video is saved on a slow USB stick? And this video is 60fps in 4K resolution?
You have to give QLC+ 'some' time, it can open and read the file. This can lead to a gap in performance.
If that is unwanted, you'll have to switch to some other video-playing solution.
Through the use of a script, it might be possible for QLC+ to start your video playback through the other solution.
I think the code word is 'preload capability' so that the content is loaded into memory before it is called upon.

Yeah I'm looking into how to get VLC to launch through a script, I was just hoping to avoid that. Oh well... thanks for the feedback!
