Feature request: Auto crossfade/crossfade tool

[alandmoore]

One of my pain-points with qtractor is working with cross-fading clips that overlap. If I have two clips that overlap (say, from a punch-in), and I want to smoothly crossfade between them, here's what I have to do:

• Slide the later clip's start-point out of the way, so I can work with the first clip
• Adjust the fade-out on the first clip
• Slide the second clip back to overlap with the first, and then set it's fade-in

Repeating this process over and over to find the right crossfade point is frustrating, because the fade-in curve on the second clip gets wiped out every time I slide it out of the way.

Suggestions to improve this:

• An "auto crossfade" feature that will automatically create a crossfade two overlapping clips
• Or, a "one-click" crossfade feature, that will create a crossfade between two selected clips
• Ideally, some kind of tool to adjust the overlap, cut-point, and fade curves of two clips without having to fuss individually with it.

Thanks for your consideration!

have you seen this?

re. 1) What's the best way to select the edge of a clip when it overlaps
with another one?

starting from [Feb 3]'s git head master (qtractor v0.7.4.1+) you can do
all the things you asked there plus a brand new one: introducing the
long overdue Clip/Cross Fade menu command! ;)

please test && tell.

I had not seen that. I'm quite eager to try it out, very exciting!

Thank you

Just compiled the latest; crossfade works well, I'll have to try it in a heavy editing session, but I think this more than meets the need for now. Thanks, this is great work!
