I cant’t figure it out how this setting works…I tried different times and also changed transition time in LED preferences, but there’s no transition between presets? Could anybody help me with this? thanks

Are you using segments?

No, I have only Segment 0. I guess this transition is only about colors. When I set solid colors I can see nice smooth transitions. If theres some kind of flashy or not very static effect, there’s just jump from one preset to another.

Between preset transitions that are not as smooth as you want, insert another transition to color black, intensity 1 (or 0), with time to fade in and out established. This may give the result you are after.  
Also, update to the latest version (0.11.x) and see if it behaves better. It also offers more presets.

Do you mean insert “black” preset between 2 presets?

I’m suggesting to give it a try and see if it has any impact, and if it does, see if it can be controlled to give you the results you want. Like fading into black from the 1st preset and fading out of black to the 2nd preset.
