Manual playback of cued files with fade in between

I'm a new user of Vmix, using it to cue and play back content in a live setting, with the output going to vision and audio mixers. I'm trying it out as a Windows based alternative to Mac only software such as PlaybackPro or ProVideoPlayer and want to start out using the correct methods and workflow.
What is the best way to cue audio/video content and manually trigger each file so that it plays once then fades to black, rather than freezing on the last frame? I did search both the forums and Google but couldn't find any answers.
The closest I've come is adding content to a playlist and running it in manual mode with a black image loaded in between each audio or video clip, but this still requires advancing to the blank image in between each file in order to stop the videos freezing on their final frame.
Surely there's a better way to do this that I'm not utilising?

To clarify, I'd like create a list of content that can be progressed through manually with something the tap of the space bar, say
[space] Video plays > fade to black
[space] Audio file plays
[space] Still image > fade to black
[space] Video plays > fade to black
Etc.

If you want to cue inputs of different types (video, audio, still images) the playlist feature is usually the easiest way to go. If you set the duration of your black image to 0 and don't set the playlist to manual mode, it should behave like you want to. Setting the duration to 0 on a still image will put the playlist on halt until Next is clicked. You can create a shortcut for the space bar: https://www.vmix.com/hel...dex.htm?AddShortcut.html

I'd played around with the duration settings while using manual mode without achieving what I was after, your suggestion worked well.
