On the per-track “When Finished” option in sequencer, it defaults to “Project Default”, which appears to be restore state by default. Where do you change this default? I looked through project settings but couldn’t find anything.

To set it to “Keep State” by default, you can put this in your DefaultEngine.ini file:

```
[/Script/LevelSequence.LevelSequence]
DefaultCompletionMode=KeepState

```

Thank you for this. I wonder why this isn’t something you can set in the Project Settings. They even have a sequence heading

Is it still the case now with 5.3? No way of setting this directly in Project Settings? I can’t find one.

i Found a Solution for UE5.3  
you should change

```auto
[/Script/LevelSequence.LevelSequence]
DefaultCompletionMode=KeepState

[/Script/TemplateSequence.TemplateSequence]
DefaultCompletionMode=KeepState

```

in the BaseEngine.ini file in the Engine Folder “UE\_5.3\Engine\Config”

And How do I change Defaults for the blend type of tracks in sequencer? Where I can find the documentation of all this commands about sequencer?
