Automation Items - Invert & Reverse

[Ice]

I'm loving Automation Items for sound design. Stretching, and all the property controls are fantastic.

I do find myself wanting to quickly reverse automation items, or invert them, all the time though.

If this is something we could see I'd certainly use it a lot.

[Travesty]

Yes please, they should have all the behaviour of normal items if possible

[EpicSounds]

these are available now



Envelope: Invert selected points
Envelope: Reverse points
(works in env lane or AI)

Script: X-Raym_Invert envelope points values preserving edges if time selection.lua
Script: X-Raym_Invert envelope points values.lua

(working in envelope lane only)

Devs. Please consider making an AI properties "tickbox" for reversing just the selected items even if overall they are pooled.

There's some sound design uses for this that would be amazing for my day to day work where we often have a sound rising in pitch with various automation items on it but then want to have the pooled AIs also falling in pitch when reversed but still follow the edits in the rising pitch version.

Thanks!

If we could finally get functions like

GetAutomationItemStateChunk

and

SetAutomationItemStateChunk

this would be scriptable quite easily for us, afaik.

The lack of these functions prevents us from doing that

[musicbynumbers]

Hope that gets put in then!

Actually...

I just had to do a search for this action again as forgot it's name.

Please devs, put in reverse automation item in the properties as a tick box for them.

Also the above script stuff won't help as this is so that pooled items can be reversed.

That's something I think the devs need to do right.

Plus 1 for reverse in properties and allow pooling relation !

[svijayrathinam]

+1 for reverse pls developers

[Winfield]

Just ran in to a situation where reverse AI would be really useful and found this thread.

Are reverse AI possible now? - if so, what's the action called?

Thanks.

[sosie]

+1 would be great

+1 for this !


Also accessible via Right Click menu.

Note that this is unscriptable. We have no API to get/set point in automation items.

EDIT:

The action Envelope: Reverse points works only on the focused Automation items



Anyway, a quickly accessible checkbox in the automation item property would be nice to have.
