Essential Sound Ducking won't generate keyframes when target clip is soloed

In the essential sound panel, "Generate Keyframes" for Ducking will not create keyframes if the Audio Track the target clip is on is Soloed.

Reproduce: 

1) Have dialogue (or any other audio) on a seperate track than music. Label/tag audio types accordingly.

2) Solo the track with the music clip on it.

3) Attempt to generate ducking keyframes on the music clip.

 

Expected result: Keyframes ducking with the parameters specified should appear after generation on the music clip

Actual result: the "generate keyframes" button very briefly turns gray, an amplify audio effect is added to the music clip, and no keyframes are generated.

 I'm looking into whether this is intended behavior. Can you generate the keyframes with it unsoloed and then solo it afterwards?  I'm curious about your workflow.

I'm sorry - I can't answer that. I've just run into this issue now, and I've switched over to Premiere from Resolve in the last month. "Generate Keyframes" has worked flawlessly for me up to this point - as long as I don't solo the track as described.

Hi @Logan_Barney5958

I can see the behavior you're describing.  Did this work for you correctly in past versions?
