Somehow still a problem 9 years later.  I just want to export a single side-chain compressed track without any other tracks.  Why is this so hard, or not obvious?  All I can think of is recording desktop audio while soloing and playing the track.... Does anyone have a solution? ... View more

Thank you, why??  I'm beating my head against a wall trying to figure out how to ONLY export the ducked track so I can maintain individual tracks without having to mix them down into one flattened file, why is this so hard?  And why is the freeze track symbol (Pre-render lightning bolt) disabled on my ducked track?  As soon as side-chain is created, it's grayed out.  It's like they've prevented any possible way to export side-chain affected tracks by themselves.  Literally the only thing I can think of would be to record desktop audio while playing the track solo... for an hour-long file.  Please Adobe, there must be a way, right? ...

Ah right of course, this makes total sense!  I was thinking in terms of time but the values of a path are obviously complex with all the points and handles.  But your solution does simplify it down to time, so it's perfect, thanks again! ... View more

Bump!  Please please add this simple option to the preferences.  🙏 ... View more

Thank you!  Just what I needed, not sure why linear doesn't like dealing with path values.. but good work around! ... View more

Just in case anyone is here looking for the solution and skimmed over Steve Griffiths's answer, adding a Transform effect *before* the track matte key effect will allow you to chance scale independently - But if you want to change position, as I did (for like a pan-behind ability) you'll instead want to add an Offset effect before the track matte key effect, and change the Shift Center To property. (and if you want to change both scale and position you'll need both effects)  No nesting required for these. ... View more

Hello! I use a "dark mode" in Windows 10 using the High Contrast color settings in the WIndows Personalization settings.  This makes many programs dark just by making window background panes dark.  But it seems as though there are only a few sparse areas that XD doesn't have covered with white.  (as seen in image) Is there any way to utilize a dark mode in XD, or planned to happen, OR a simple enough way to change it through the developer console?  I'll be designing mockups with dark background in XD, and I'd love to have a dark workspace as well.  Thanks for any help!  ...
