Hi, when I Close Gaps the envelope points get left behind, 'Lock envelopes to events' is on, Is there an option for this or it that just the way it is? Thanks.
I cannot tell from your image if your bottom toolbar has Rippling activated? I have mine rearranged differently so cannot tell which is which in your image.
Having now watched your video a few times, if you have rippling and Lock envelopes to Events both on then it's possibly a bug. Which VP22 Build are you on?
"if you have rippling"
At 0:05 we see rippling is on, or??
@EricLNZ @relaxvideo Hi,
Rippling is on, with all three options & when rippling is off when I move the event the envelope points move with the event. 👍 But right click Close gaps leaves the envelope points behind with all rippling options whether it's on or off.
VP22 (Build 248)
@Gid Confirmed, close gaps does not move the audio envelope. I tried 3th party scripts ( "closed gaps" 1-click commands event and track from the Vegasaur scripts) and it does the same, the envelopes do not move.
If the Vegas command is also script based behind the scenes, it is probably behaving similar and not taking in account envelopes. It is probably a bug as it cannot be the intention to leave the envelope alone if 'Lock envelopes to events' is on.
@bitman Thanks yep, I just tried a Composite envelope on the video track & that also doesn't move with Close Gaps.
-------------
I don't use this option very often but I just tried VP18 & 19, the envelope points don't move with Close Gaps there either, I skipped testing VP20 & 21 because if it doesn't work in VP18 & 19 it prob doesn't work in 20 & 21.
@Gid Hello, the script below does the job with the envelope points moving together.

foreach (Track track in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
foreach (TrackEvent trackEvent in track.Events)
{
if (trackEvent == null || !trackEvent.Selected) continue;
if (trackEvent.Group != null)
{
bool groupExists = false;
foreach (var group in eventGroups)
{
if (group.Contains(trackEvent))
{
groupExists = true;
break;
}
}
if (!groupExists)
{
List<TrackEvent> eventGroup = new List<TrackEvent>();
foreach (TrackEvent groupedEvent in trackEvent.Group)
{
eventGroup.Add(groupedEvent);
}
eventGroups.Add(eventGroup);
}
}
else
{
eventGroups.Add(new List<TrackEvent> { trackEvent });

@Thiago_Sase Hi, that works. Thankyou.
PS, just for anyone's interest, I normally use Ripple working my way along the timeline using A,D & S (trim end/start & split) but sometimes to go back on the timeline to trim events it's easier to spread the transition apart to make it easier to grab the ends, this obviously then leaves a gap that needs closing. Dragging them apart is no problem, the envelope stays attached to the event but when closing the gap ... 👍
