Item Properties: Preserve Length

It's driving me crazy that when I drag an item on the timeline into an area of the song with a different tempo that it does not auto-stretch to preserve the beat length, even when my project timebase is set to "Beats (position, length, rate)". I reported this in the General Discussion and Bug Report forums but have received zero response. I don't know if that because no one really cares about this or maybe I didn't explain the issue well enough to be understood. How about an checkbox option in the "Item Properties" dialog to "Preserve Length"? This would always preserve the length with respect to the timebase. So, if I have the media item set to 8 beats, it damn well stays at 8 beats wherever I may drag or copy it to on the timeline? Cheers, Randy

I agree that we should have full ACID support. It works perfect when importing the initial file, but it ignores it afterwords.

This is a longstanding FR ... at present, item lengths adjust properly if you drag the time signature marker through the item, but not if you drag the item through the time signature marker. We'll get this at some point.

Great! Thanks for the response and I'm glad it is recognized as an issue by the developers. I searched all the fora here but I couldn't find anything discussed similar to what I was seeing. Cheers, Randy
