preserving dialog editor's volume automation

[Matt Chan]

we sometimes receive tracks from editors with volume automation written to the tracks and the mixers of course prefer to have all the faders flat to start. in the past we had tried copying the automation into a trim plugin. but due to the latency of that plugin, we would sometimes get clicks, pops, or snippets where the automation just wouldn't translate properly.

i would like to try copying this automation into the trim *playlist*, now that it can stay separate from the volume playlist. has anyone else done this successfully? it seems like it should work but i know that the trim value is just a delta value so i'm wondering if there is something i'm not considering.

thanks,
matt
