Bezier curves automation envelopes

monkeybrainsushi · Post by **monkeybrainsushi** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:36 am

I would really love to be able to draw automation envelopes using bezier curves (you know the basic Adobe Illustrator curves... smooth... ) along with Wacom tablet support.

This feature could be useful!

or even simple shapes i.e. sine, triangle etc...

Oh yes - longing for some curves. It's a real time waster having to draw in clumsy (in my case) approximations by hand.

a curve tool would be very handy!

Especially useful in lighting for fades-ins and -outs, which are rarely linear and vary with different bulbs. To be able to loop a lighting fade-in/out clip while moving Bézier handles with a MIDI controller until a linear fade is achieved would be fantastic.

Also useful for ease-ins and -outs for moving lighting fixtures, animations and beat-matched video effects.

I'm all for it.

Right click, Copy/paste of selected automation would be nice too.

yep,
curves and multi-envelope view in arrangement.

If you could switch between the different automation parameters via rightclick, menu and submenus would be really helpfull too.
I like rightclick, I liked it in tracktion and now miss basic righclicking in Live, but 5 is the first version and I hope we´ll get better workflow in the next upgrade.
Shortcuts are only a workaround, as you always need to move 2 arms or at least one hand, move between the mouse and keyboard and so on. Righclick is faster and the best I think would be an "intel" tablet "pc" with a pen.
That would be awesome, but a bit pricey for the moment.

Yes, an excellent idea.

And can we add, pressing the CNTRL button whilst dragging the mouse allows finer control of said envelope point.

yes give us bezier curve (and pre formed waves for LFO) and multicolored envellope at the same time in the same clip / arrangement view (to see more than only one parameter at the same time).

and give us a better groove/quantize control it will be great ....

(and if you could look after better UAD-1 support about the little GUI trouble i notice)

pleaze, pleaze, pleaze....and i will fly like an angel
