"Move crossfade ignoring snap (relative edge edit" randomly doesn't respect selection

souk21 · 08-27-2023, 03:20 AM

Steps:

Select multiple items
Run action "Item: Split items at play cursor"
Use mouse modifier "Move crossfade ignoring snap (relative edge edit)" on one of the crossfade

Result: Half of the time only a single crossfade moves, use "Edit: Undo" and try again until it works (see gif)

Expected: Crossfades always move on all selected items

Reproduced in all versions I tested including 6.80 and the latest 7pre.
In preferences, "Split media items" is set to "Fade-in/fade-out" and "Overlap and crossfade"
Using macos 12.6

"Relative edge edit" is enabled and "Media item bottom half" context is only "Default : Pass through to item click context" if that helps.

I originally thought it was caused by mouse modifiers/crossfades, but it happens when splitting grouped items/multiple selected items then editing the split point.

Group split & edit:

Not grouped, just selected & split edited:

Sometimes grouped items become ungrouped when making many splits & edits. Those items then need to be manually re-grouped. I haven't been able to capture that behavior in an image.

This bug can grind multitrack sessions to a hault. Group edits & crossfades that aren't being applied correctly (especially in large complex projects), simply cause major disruptions without explanation.

Bump

It adds a lot of friction to multitracks edits
