envelope points can't be copied

[Dzirka]

Hello, I need to copy track together with envelope points. "Envelope points move with media items" is selected. However when I copy items (press Ctrl and move items) Though items are copied, envelope points are moved together with items but the envelope points are not copied just moved from previous position to the copied one.. if you understand what I mean.
Many thanks for any suggestion

See the video below and you can see clearly my issue.. Looks like a bug

That's strange... Ctrl+drag item works as expected here:



This is the volume envelope, maybe other envelopes have other behavior? But I tried ReaEQ gain envelope, and it works as it should here.

Fabian - does not look like it works - look at the front part of the copied automation should be a straight line.
Also - the first automation lane got altered when copied (end of automation rising)

This fault comes up all the time for me, I need to fix the front of the automation after copying.

Aha. Now I understand what you mean. From your example I thought you meant that the envelope points were not copied. It is the interpolation that you don't like. I can agree that this could be done better.

But I still do not get the same thing that you show:


I get the points copied, it is just that the result is then straight-line interpolated with the existing envelope. Probably new points should have been created at the ends of the new item's envelope.

There is a setting, Preferences > Envelope display : Automatically add edge points when editing: Media item. Setting this gives this:



Maybe this is what you expect.
