Thanks, that's a nice amount of detail, but I've still not been able to create a zero length clip.

If you want to try yourself, I'm using:
"Extra menu > Scriptables II > Get Info"
(to enable the "Extra" menu: "View > Extra Menus (on/off)")

Then in "Get Info", select "Clips".
This returns info about all clips in the project, like this:

Code: Select all

[ 
  { "track":0, "start":0, "end":4, "color":0 },
  { "track":0, "start":5.68678, "end":10.6868, "color":0 } ]
A zero length clip would have the same "start" and "end" time.
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Oohh, there such a thing :o

...I think I see why there's alot. Since I start from like over-a-minute-length tracks, I'm just basically copying whatever zerolengths it hadm then paste however much times until it reaches 30minsl; basically multiplying the amount.
Though that still doesn't explain how the zerolengths get created in the first place...

Welp, now I gotta see whenever there's a zero-length clip produced in anything I do, at least for now.
I'm glad I can at least Alt+RGB---oh wait... Alt+RBG my way to it. :v (Oh heck, of course I can set a keyboard shortcut to it, brilliant! xD)

Short trials, I got no zero-lengths on my short lazy non-precise-timing copy-paste attempts on a certain track, but got one on my normal routine.
The lazy one involved opening 1 audio file, the routine one involved opening two files. (Pardon, I used Brief instead of like JSON, but same label/header applies anyway)

Code: Select all

Lazy
   0 0          0.318776 0  
   0 0.318776   3.95637 0  
   0 3.95637  109.411 0  
Normal Routine
   0   0          0.318776 0  
   0   0.318776   3.95637 0  
   0   3.95637  109.411 0  
>  0 109.411    109.411 0  
   0 109.411    214.865 0  
More verbose report to come on my next post, when I get to it; this serves as like an acknowledgment then.
