I have attempted to get ahold of him a couple of times this year and have been unsuccessful. Also, his website is now gone. I'm not sure what the story is.


Here's one that should do what you want. It will add the four points on a volume envelope around the current selection area but only on selected audio tracks. You will need to open it in Notepad and look for the following:



//Change this line to change the distance between the points

var FPDist = new Timecode("00:00:01:00");


Change the timecode to be the distance you want between the outer points. You have to do this manually as there is no GUI. In Excalibur 4.5, you have a GUI that will let you set this.

Ed,

How easy would it be to set the duration time in the script to be equal to the length of the loop selection?

This would allow for a huge time savings in placing the points where they need to be.

Thanks!!

This script already does that. Create a selection area and the two outside points will be on the selection area edges while the two inside points will be the amount you specified inside the selection area.

However, if you change the line to something like:
var FPDist = new Timecode("-00:00:01:00");

(notice the minus sign) Now the two INSIDE points will be on the selection area edges while the two outside points will be the amount you specified outside the selection area.


The FPDist value simply sets the amout of time used to fade the volume up/down. The default value is 1 second but you may need a much smaller amount.
