I recently went down a Rabbit Hole of my own making after Mike Benke was discussing advancing a video 1 second at a time.
I learned that I could get it to about 2.something seconds but not to 1.

If I had had a WAIT command I could have done it I am fairly certain.

Oh and how I got to 2.something seconds was
1. Created a Timer for 1 second, that was as low as I could go
2. On Completion of the Timer I Paused the Video and Reset the Timer with a second triggered shortcut
3. I then created a Shortcut "P" to Start the Video and that Shortcut triggered the Next Shortcut #4
4. Created a Shortcut to Start the Timer

You Hit the P Shortcut that triggers the timer and the timer plays and pauses the video at the end.

With the WAIT Command I would have Played the Video with one shortcut that would trigger a Wait Shortcut and that would Trigger a Pause Shortcut.

Thanks for checking this out.

Use scripts.
The sleep command is your friend.
Here is an example of use using an MOV as a stinger with adjusting the Sleep time for the cut point and then delay entry of a watermark during the replay.
I NEVER use triggers anymore, I have shortcuts call scripts.

;ReplayIn
Function=OverlayInputAllOff
Function=OverlayInput4In&Input=ReplayIn
Sleep 2000
Function=Cut&Input=ReplayX
Function=OverlayInput3&Input=Watermark
Sleep 2000
Function=OverlayInput4&Input=Telestrate

Good Luck,
Steve

Scripting is not a feature available to everyone.
I know several people have mentioned other ways to use the API to do this as well.

I was just looking to create a shortcut item that was WAIT since that currently does not exist at the highest level you need to use the API.

I understand there are workarounds or other ways to do this so this is typically not a good feature request as you can do it another way.
Thanks again for checking this out.
