Hi,

I just updated an old SLATE project and reimplement 2 small additions that I think could be useful to have in later version:

1. Add a setting to increase the audio clip resolution display
For instance, I changed EditorTools.cs line 209 from width = 4096 to width = 16384 and it work just fine.

2. Would be great to have a shortcut to add a clip container in a selected track while previewing cutscene. In my case I needed to raise an event along with the tempo.
It’s not very precise but I did it this way under the CutsceneEditor :

// Add Raise Unity Event to track

if (e.keyCode == KeyCode.E)

{

CutsceneTrack selectedTrack = null;

if (CutsceneUtility.selectedObject != null)

{

if (typeof(CutsceneTrack).IsAssignableFrom(CutsceneUtility.selectedObject.GetType()))

selectedTrack = (CutsceneTrack)CutsceneUtility.selectedObject;

}

else

{

selectedTrack = pickedTrack;

}

if (selectedTrack != null)

{

bool actionAvailableAtTime = !selectedTrack.actions.Exists(x => x.startTime == cutscene.currentTime);

if (actionAvailableAtTime)

{

selectedTrack.AddAction<RaiseUnityEvent>(cutscene.currentTime);

CutsceneUtility.selectedObject = selectedTrack;

InitClipWrappers();

e.Use();

if (editorPlayback == EditorPlayback.Stoped)

Play();

}

Not really sure how you could create a flexible tool for such feature but it’s just suggestions 😉

Good idea to reduce the snap interval to 0.1, I hack it that way too.
Same for disabled tracks !
In fact, I’m really using SLATE not as a regular cutscene editor but more as a script partition driven by a timeline.
Unity Timeline as still a long way to reach the ergonomic state of SLATE.

SLATE is awesome ! Our project made it just before the deadline thanks to his flexibility.

Thanks !

Hello Michael,

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! I am really glad you like Slate!
About audio width that high I think will consume a lot of memory in editor. It is very big! :), but I can probably increase it to 8k I think.
About your second feature request, can you please provide a bit more information. Do you mean adding shortcuts for adding certain common action clips in selected track and at current time?

Thanks again!
(PS: What is your project where you used Slate by the way, if you don’t mind telling of course 🙂 )
