I had problems with this too. being able to speed-change armed video and
audio racks at the same time would be a time saver.

Yes, the 100 +/- values have bitten me too. +1 for changing that to the
values set in the Settings->Format. Percentages would be fine, provided the
resolution is sufficient that there still can be pixel-accurate positioning
at 8K .
