Fill Gap Macro
Hi,
here is my first not trivial macro, it fills a gap between the selected item and the next item (or more precisely, set the item end of the selected item to the item start of the next item)
+ Item Navigation: Select and move to next item
+ Markers: Add/move marker 10 to play/edit cursor
+ Item Navigation: Select and move to previous item
+ Markers: Go to marker 10
+ Item: Set selected item end to cursor
Not so nice is, that it needs creates a new marker, that i can't delete automatical, because maybe on the same position, their was already a marker before. Has someone another idea, how to set the time position to the start of the next item, without selecting the item itself (and without the workaround to create a marker)?
If you have installed the Marker utilities extension from SWS (thanks SWS), than you can restore the old marker set, the complete macro is:
+ Item Navigation: Select and move to next item
+ SWS: Copy marker set to clipboard
+ Markers: Add/move marker 10 to play/edit cursor
+ Item Navigation: Select and move to previous item
+ Markers: Go to marker 10
+ Item: Set selected item end to cursor
+ SWS: Paste marker set from clipboard
+ Item Navigation: Move cursor left to edge of selected item
I have also another question. I want to have an alternative "fill gap macro", that should timestretch the selected macro to fill the gap, instead only change the end position. Did i overlook something, or this is really not possible at the moment (without additional extensions).
Best,
Klinke
