How should AIs work with VCAs and "Envelope: apply all VCAs to selected tracks and remove from VCA groups" when an AI is on the VCA track?

awesome! So maybe someone could script a marker to drop in places where this might have happened

Creating new pooled AI's is broken with "edits affect all pooled automation items at the same time position" on.


  • Create AI with option-left drag (macOS) (draw a pooled copy of the selected automation item)
  • Select created AI
  • Create AI with option-left drag (macOS) (draw a pooled copy of the selected automation item)

Collect points with "edits affect all pooled automation items at the same time position" on gives different results depending on what was selected last!



Easy-replication:
  • Create an AI on a Volume Track (1)
  • Create a pooled copy of (1) starting at the same time on a Pan Track
  • Collect Left (Cmd-left drag macOS).
  • Alternate this process after selecting the 'other ai' once.
  • Try this process after selecting back and forth manually.

With "edits affect all pooled automation items at the same time position" on, Collecting points only can collect the bottom AI.



Gif should be self-explanatory.

This may not be strictly a bug per-se, however I think the expectation would be that the selected, or acted upon, AI is what consumes the envelope.

When writing automation manually, if the written automation crosses an AI boundary, then the automation seems to almost always be written 1-2 points "late" to the AI.



The gif doesn't show an example where it's particularly problematic, however there are times when that automation point that ends up 'under' the AI is a vital part of a complex motion.

Regarding posts 5 and 6, maybe the best solution is for the "affects all pooled automation items" option not to apply to the "collect points" mouse modifier?

Hallelujah !
Many thanks for this Cockos !

For the ones interested in this option:
I noticed this option can be found by right-clicking in the time indicator area of the Transport Bar.
It seems, by default, the option is now turned OFF. (great !).

Thanks, I was wondering where to find it (checked device settings but no dice).

# Automation items: fix uneditable points in looped items [p=1843639]

Gutted, i was hoping this mean't we could select points inside an automation item and run actions, this badly needs adding

To elaborate, here's a list of non-script actions that don't seem to work on points in AIs:
  • Envelope: Copy points within time selection (Copies the AI, not the points)
  • Envelope: Copy selected points (Copies oddly. Paste is done oddly)
  • Envelope: Cut points within time selection (Cuts the AI, not the points)
  • Envelope: Cut selected points (Copies oddly. Paste is done oddly)

SWS/BR actions largely don't work correctly. I haven't found any that do in a quick look.

Collecting points leaves an 'edge point' of the AI behind.


  • Collect points with AI over existing envelope points (edge-left drag macOS)
  • Move AI to reveal underlying envelope

The collection action seems to create a new edge point that's added to both the AI and the underlying envelope.

Option-left drag to consume points with a new AI acts like I'd expect.



I understand that the AI needs a new point added when collecting, but the underlying envelope should not get that point.

The mouse modifier "Move automation items relative to other selected items" is available as a left-drag option.

If this is intentional, then it doesn't work.



Shouldn't this be for the "Automation Item" context?

You need at least 3 selected items at different positions for this to have an effect.

There are no actions that work on selected points within in an AI, it is a terribly flawed design, this is going to annoy a lot of people in use.
Having to slice an AI to run actions on it is just bizarre (Edit, i mistyped here, i meant having to create a time selection)

I don't think that's correct. I tried literally every envelope point action when writing that post. The only ones that didn't work were what I listed.

Can you give a specific example?

No point actions work on selected points within an automation item, they only work on selected automation items, so i cant select half the points inside an automation item and run the reduce points action for instance.
It will reduce the points of the entire automation item.
