Is this normal adjustment track behaviour?

Hi all

I have an adjustment track above all other tracks that's loaded with the Ignite distort FX. ( Although I don't think it matters which FX is active for this issue).

Whewn I try and automate it, I can draw the usual blue "composite" line / points to fade the FX strength in and out. But when the composite is set to zero, and I use a fade on any of the events below, the FX kicks in. As if the composite level of the video event below gives way to the FX strength instead of fading to black. The only way to completely get the FX of the adjustment track out of the way is to use mute automation.

Is this intended?

Thanks!

@Mindmatter Hi, are you talking about something like this?

S_Distort on the Adjustment track, & fade at the end of the clip below. (I don't have Ignite)

yes, but in my case the FX continues to be active on the fade out of the event, even with the adjustment track set to zero composite.

@Mindmatter Ok I'll try other fxs & see, 👍🤷‍♂️

I don't think the FX as such is the issue. It's rather the behaviour of the adjustment track.

@Mindmatter Hmm,

I put a clip on the timeline with a fade at the end & a green solid below,
I put a TV lens type fx on the Adjustment track & had to put a border (BCC DVE) on so i could see the TV lens shape, (not the best test 🤦‍♂️)
But when the green solid also has a fade the TV shape + border can be seen even though the Adjustment track is at 0. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it seems that as soon as the composite information below the adjustment track diminishes, the FX takes over.

@Mindmatter I used the same fxs on an Adjustment event instead of an Adjustment track & the fx correctly doesn't show

I can't reproduce this bug by using native OFX and DXT of Vegas, such as Color Curve FX, Soft Contrast.

Hi @Former user , can you share the project of this demo for reproducing the bug?

I can't reproduce it using the same steps.
