Hi there... This commit unfortunately has made my life quite a bit more difficult than it needs to be. I submitted a bug about this two weeks ago, (0003323), but it has not been assigned to anyone yet.
In short, it's far more common to do audio fades than fade to and from black on video clips. I can see that it makes sense to do video stuff on video clips, and audio stuff on audio clips. However, when I split out the audio out of the video clips as a compromise, I am still unable to quickly add audio fades, as the functionality is broken. I do realize that there is a massive code cleanup effort underway, and that messing with this code is as much fun as getting poked in the eye. I just prefer the previous behavior, and if it's too much trouble to make audio fades work as expected on audio clips that were split from video clips, I would rather see this commit reverted. Kind regards, -- Evert Vorster Chief Observer WG Cook
