Nested Timelines DELETING Volume envelopes in Master Track

Narax wrote on 1/16/2024, 10:23 AM

The title basically summarizes it, I have to do a batch render of multiple projects where there is more than 5 Video tracks (don't feel like mixing all the videos with hundreds of events in them into a single timeline without nesting), and I know I could just render out a FLAC of all of the audio for the Nested timeline projects, but I am wondering if this only happens to me or if there is a simple way to solve it that I am simply not seeing.

Before:

After Converting Into A Nested Timeline:

Is there a reason that you didn't just drag the five project files to a new Vegas project?

Full Disclosure

I always thought nested timeline was feature looking for a problem.

The envelope is still in the original project. You have to open it to adjust the envelope.

I use Track Fx with different percentages depeding on the video so copying and pasting them all its just time consuming and and absolute mess due to the fact that it looks like a stair of event groups going down, so I decided to just stick with rendering a FLAC for each nested timeline that way the volume will be intact. the whole point of the post is to find out if I was just missing something in plain sight but it seems like I am not its just the program being funky with Nested Timelines.

Nope it outright deletes the envelopes, when looking at the audio buses the original project file has higher volume than the one converted into a Nested timeline.

@Narax I cannot reproduce your issue, it seems fine to me, the volume envelope in the nested timeline is preserved in the nested timeline and the audio volume effect is audible on the main/parent track (although the envelope not visible on the main/parent track). The volume looks and sounds equal on both the main and nested timeline.

Maybe the creation makes a difference? I had 2 .veg projects to start: one is the main track .veg and the other the future nested project .veg. I imported the future to be nested .veg into the main, thus creating a nested...
