Adjustment track's Composite Levels not working?

Fresh wrote on 6/10/2024, 3:16 PM

I'm using an 'adjustment track' to load an effect called 'Old TV' - to be used as a background effect.
At present the adjustment track is located below the video tracks and the desired effect is achieved.
However as the video nears its end i want the Old TV effect to fade out.
On the adjustment track i have enabled the 'composite level' envelope and made it fade near the end.
The problem is that the effect (old tv) does not fade out when its composite level is lowered to zero.

Do composite levels not work with adjustment tracks?

Am i missing something? Is that a bug?

Thanks for any insight provided.

Picture attached is screenshot of video with old tv effect, the one i'd like to fade out.

@Fresh You're better off showing a picture of the Vegas UI with it's timeline not a a picture of what you're creating because your comment doesn't make sense, Adjustment tracks go above the video not below it, so are you sure the Old TV is o the adjustment track?

Yes they do work

This old post illustrates some limitations including non-response to composite envelopes, which btw applies to both adjustment tracks and adjustment events. And a composite envelope workaround that I've been using ever since.

Gid thanks for that suggestion. I've done a bit more testing and moved the adjustment track up above the background video. Yes the composite level works if I test it with the 'black and white' effect, for example, but it still doesn't work with the Old TV plugin. I guess it could be a plugin issue.

Regardless of where i place the adjustment track, the old TV plugin doesn't fade out when the composite level is lowered.

@Fresh

In my pictures the adjustment track has Old TV on it & the fade is working.

In your picture the fade on the Adjustment track is still at the bottom 6 & your showing the Old TV on that track 6. There is no fade on the top Adjustment track.

I don't know why you've got an adjustment track on 6 so unless it's doing something to tracks below delete it.
