How can I extend the fade time for hard fixed time markers?

The fade time for hard fixed time markers cannot be extended or customised separately from other fade operations in PlayIt Live. Hard fixed time markers are designed to cause any playing items to immediately fade out and stop when the fixed time is reached, using the same fade duration as other operations in the software.

The fade time that applies to hard fixed time markers is controlled by the global Fade time setting found in File > Settings > General Tab. This setting affects all fade operations in PlayIt Live, including when the stop button is clicked and when tracks are segued in Live-Assist mode.

Alternative approaches:

If you need longer transitions before fixed time content, consider using a soft fixed time marker instead, which allows the current item to finish playing before advancing to the next item. You could also schedule your content to end naturally before the fixed time marker is reached, or use Auto Adjust to help manage timing more smoothly throughout the hour.
