I think this is because there's no room for it to fade out. That is, let's say the bed is playing and there's 1 second until the VT (and bed) end, and bed fade out is triggered - there's no room at this point to execute a 5 second fade out, as it only has 1 second of playback time left.The defined duration doesn't seem to be respected when Track B doesn't have an Intro: the Bed's volume drops very quickly. There's a slight difference between a Fade Out at 0 seconds and a Fade Out at 5 seconds. But it's very fast for a Fade Out at 5 seconds.
It calculates VT start so that it will end at the following track's (Track B) Intro point. It may or may not be after the Track A's end. I don't think it should introduce silence between the tracks in this case. If you want it to always start VT's on track end, set the "Default Outro" to like 0.01 second (a value of zero is ignored) this will effectively make it work as you describe. The "Ignore outro" should be checked off of course otherwise the "Default outro" will not work.The behavior should be different at the beginning of the action: the Voice Track should ignore the outro of Track A. The Voice Track should play after the "End" of Track A.
Not in this beta, I'm sorry.I would like to know if the "trigger bed based on reading level" option will be added in this Beta version or later. Or is it no longer possible?
