Volume Curve Improvements

Open asbestosbill opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Drawing a volume curve is a really cool feature, but I've run into a couple issues.

Firstly, the range of the drawing extends up into the header. I keep trying to click to move the playhead back, and I end up setting that spot to +2.8 or so (depending on zoom levels). I also wish that I could play the sequence without exiting draw mode. If drawing while playing would cause issues, there are a couple options to avoid that:

  • Disable drawing while video is playing
  • have playing automatically exit draw mode.

The other problem I have is that I typically want volume to return to exactly 1 after I duck or boost a section, and I don't see an easy way to do that. There are a few ways I could see facilitating this:

  • A 10%-increment snapping modifier (Possibly problematic depending on how frequently keyframes are placed? Maybe it could limit keyframe placement as well, so one ends up with something like a line graph rather than a staircase?)
  • A mode that works like an eraser to reset values to 1
  • Have 1.0 be the limit by default, and use a modifier to allow boosting above that

Some other features that would be handy:

  • Context menu option to clear all volume keyframes in a selected sequence
  • Hear sound at the volume you're drawing when audio scrubbing is turned on
  • Modifier key to draw Pan or Pitch instead of volume

By the way, thank you for responding about 3.x support so quickly. This is an amazing add-on. Very exciting.
