Repeating a playback

A recording can play once, a set number of times, or until you stop it, with a wait between each time if you want one.

How many times

  1. Open the Repeat box

    In the Record & Playback window, choose Options, Playback,Repeat. A box called "Repeat setting" opens.

  2. Choose how many times

    Choose Repeat and enter a number from 1 to 9,999,999. Or chooseRepeat until stopped.

  3. Press Ok

    Ok saves your choice. Cancel or Esc changes nothing.

The number counts whole times through the recording. It is 1 at first. While a playback runs, the line in the Record & Playback window shows where it is, for example "Playing: pass 2 of 5. Press Ctrl+1 to stop."

With Repeat until stopped, the playback goes on until you stop it. Press Ctrl+1, press the square button, or choose Stop playback from the icon by the clock.Ctrl+1 is the easiest, because the pointer is busy moving by itself.

A wait between repeats

In the same box, tick Interval: and enter the wait in hours, mins and secs. Auto Clicker then waits that long after each time through the recording, before the next one.

  • The wait can be from 1 second to 24 hours. An empty box counts as 0.
  • There is no wait after the last time.
  • When Interval: is not ticked, the next time starts straight away.
  • Ctrl+1 also stops a playback during the wait.

The speed of a playback

Choose Options, Playback, Speed. Move the slider and pressOk. There are seven speeds: ¼×, ½×, ¾×, 1×, 2×, 3× and 4×. 1× plays at the speed you recorded, and it is where the slider starts.

  • At 2×, the pauses between your clicks are half as long. At ½×, they are twice as long.
  • The speed does not change the wait between repeats.
  • A recording made with Delay unticked keeps no pauses, so its clicks follow one another with only a short gap.

When a playback has finished

Auto Clicker can do something when a playback has played its last time. Choose Options,Settings, Other and pick an entry in On playback complete: Do nothing, Quit, Lock computer, Sign out, Shut down, Sleep or Hibernate. It is Do nothing at first.

  • It happens only when the playback finishes by itself. It doesn't happen when you stop the playback, or withRepeat until stopped.
  • Before it locks, signs out, shuts down, sleeps or hibernates, a small window counts down ten seconds. PressCancel there to call it off.
