I think it is nice. But I think on this combo box we should have all the automations, and not only the types. I imagine it would get annoying having to go to View > Camera X ... and then change the range in the box... And then goining there again, hiding the camera X, showing the fader, changing the range...I think we could have this combo, with all the possible lines, and as we change it, it makes the selected automation to be the only displayed and adjusts the range.
Hi Leo, wouldn't it be better to hook this into the "overlays" window, which alredy has a checkbox for every possible automation type and basically does the same as selecting View > Camera X (etc) ? One has to think what happens if the user selects a combination of several automation types though... but in this case it could simply be left alone. So, when the user toggles one or several buttons in the overlay window and the current selection is of one type (fade, audio, camera), then the dropdown proposed by Pierre will update and the range re-adjusted accordingly
I liked the contributions of Hermann, and will try to understand better what the "bezier automation" is.
I was a bit sloppy with the terms... basically, there is: Automation | +----FloatAutomation +----IntAutomation +----ModeAutomation +----MaskAutomation +----Keyframes FloatAutomation and IntAutomation can be showed as automation curves as overlay on top of the track. IntAutomation are toggles, e.g. the "mute"-toggle of the track. ModeAutomation is the Mask/Alpha-Addition-Mode of the track, eg. "Normal", "Additive", "Subtractive", "Multiply", "Divide", or "Replace" For FloatAutomation, every automation node has a "value" (a float). The corresponging cuves are bezier curves, i.e. every node has tangents on both sides and the curve is smooth and bends as you drag the tangents (=control points of the bezier curve). In-between values are interploated using this bezier curve. One could think this is almost the same as for the plugin parameters, but it isn't. Plugin parameters /could/ be float values, but it is up to the specific plugin to interpolate values between the automation nodes (called keyframes here). Most plugins do only linear interpolation and there is no way to modify/control this via gui Cheers, Hermann
