V7 Containers & API - Lost automation

Sexan · 10-29-2023, 08:32 AM

Moving FX that has automation inside/outside Container via reaper.TrackFX_CopyToTrack results deleted automation.

Steps:
1. Create Container
2. Add ReaEQ in container
3. Write some automation on ReaEQ

Execute:

Code:

local track = reaper.GetTrack(0,0)
FX_ID = 0x2000000 + 1 + (reaper.TrackFX_GetCount(track) + 1)
reaper.TrackFX_CopyToTrack( track, FX_ID, track, -1000, true )

EDIT: After this hitting undo Container has BYPASS automation written to it

EDIT2: Copy also does not transfer automation created

Code:

reaper.TrackFX_CopyToTrack( track, FX_ID, track, -1000, false)

That is understandable -- FX in containers can't have automation, so the automation belongs to the container. Having it end up as bypass automation is a bug, looking into that.

Ah ok. Thanks for info

(we could maybe try to map it back, I suppose, but ugh)

very important.
This is absolutely necessary to keep/copy automation envelopes from and to containers I was actually sure it does it intuitively.

any news with this one?
I keep doing the same mistake over and over again --> losing the automations when moving fx from containers
