Add Duration to Fades

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   It would be nice to have a duration on the Ramps. Leave the Ramps tool as is as ramps are dynamic and add a new event called a Fade that is a duration event. It would go from x to y intensity over z seconds.  It would be selectable from the quick links when a specific setting is applied to the sequence and editable using the info tool like every other tool.  It would have to add its own timing line at end of the event if one was not already in place.

This would make adding individual ramps of the same duration easily available with out having to use the selection tool repeatedly and having to do multiple clicks to preserve a duration.

My scenario is that I have many timing lines not equally spaced and having to add the same 2 second event every .25 of a second randomly across 9 channels it a pain using the "y-selection" tool.  Too slow and too many extra key strokes. (there are a total of 90ish of these i had to add and the selection tool caused it to take about 3 times longer than i expect it would have taken if there were this type of tool)

	In giving this more thought, i am not sure it would even need to add its own duration marks. If the event was shown with a different graphic pattern it could just be an event not bound to any timing line other than the one that starts it.
