Sws extension take Fx big

[svijayrathinam]

Hi,

I found an issue with the copy pasting of take fx with SWS extension.

Scenario : I have an "X" media item where I have a 6 in 6 out plugin as take fx. I have a "y" media item with no plugins. Now I want to copy the plugins from the "X" item to "Y" clip item.

For this I use these shortcuts.

SWS/S&M: Copy FX Chain (Depending on Focus)

and then

SWS/S&M: Paste FX Chain (Depending on Focus)

When I do this the "Y" media item only has 2in6 out in the plugin pin configuration. Then I have to manually open the plugin and then modify the plugin I/O config to 6 in 6 out.

But if I just cmd drag and drop the take fx from "X" item to "Y" item then I dont have this problem. This is why I am sure that this is a SWS extension bug.

Can you pls fix this ?

Hi,

asking just in case, have you tried pressing Play after you've pasted the FX chain ?
Here at least when I do the above steps it also pastes with 2 In/X Out as you say, but it updates the In configuartion to 6 automatically when I press Play.

Thanks for the screencapture.
Could you please test with the version linked below and let us know if it works for you ?
(I don't have the plugin you're using, so I can't test with it here.)

Note:
It's a version only meant for testing, so don't forget to reinstall the current official SWS version afterwards.

Thanks.

Hi Thank you very much for your work. I tried this. But the problem is still there. If you want the plugin you can download the trial here

Its not just with this plugin but with every plugin.

Ah, I almost missed it in the screencapture, you have a default preset set for the plugin, this means the correct channel assigment is done automatically when inserting the plugin, right ?

Not sure yet, but seems to me what's happening is that the the default preset (and thus the channel assignment) is not propagated when copy / pasting via the SWS actions. I'll try to investigate further.

(As always, help from other SWS collaborators appreciated).

Yes. It works with the test version now..Sorry I didn't install the test version in the right folder. When will this be released officially Pls ?

Thanks for testing and reporting back, good to know it also works for you.
I'm hoping a fix will be in the next official SWS version but I don't know currently when this will be.

edit:
I see schwa has replied to your issue.

So it seems the new issue is a bug in the plugin not on SWS I think.

@devs

The original issue (as I understand) is that the TAKEFX_NCH line is not part of the TAKEFX chunk and so doesn't get copied via 'SWS/S&M: Copy FX Chain (Depending on Focus)' resulting in setting the pasted take FX chain back to 2 channels.

My patch seems to fix (also confirmed by OP above) but I'm hesitant submitting as PR because of risk of corrupting projects (when modifying chunk) so I'd appreciate review / help.

Would probably better to fix directly in SNM_FXChainTakePatcher but I don't understand good enough to do that.
