Hey Guys,
I am hitting a random automation bug in Platinum. I have seen this over the last few builds and it's buggin' me.
Perhaps it is something I am doing wrong but I can't work it out
 
basically, I record automation & only some of it plays back - ie if I record pan and volume, pan plays but volume doesn't
check out this video for an example

any suggestions ??

Forgot to mention that you can often make it work by saving, closing & reopening the project.
On most occasions this works. Though I know that sometimes other parameters are then not working.
 
The inconsistency is the issue - i am not sure if a project is playing back properly especially if I have many automated parameters.

Touch-sensitive control surface overriding SONAR?

I don't think so - when I click on the timeline, the fader jumps to the automation level & then plays (without changing level from there.
In the case I recorded, as soon as I saved, closed & reopened everything worked as expected again.
 
The frustrating thing is this is happening randomly. Sometimes I open a project  that has previously being playing properly & it isn't playing all automation; close / reopen & it starts working again.

What synth is on that track? I found an old post indicating that Alchemy (and possibly other synths) can cause automation read failure (though it was FX automation in this case):

This was actually on an audio track with no audio on it & no other plug ins.
 
Does sound similar to the thread above otherwise though.
 
It is a particularly frustrating bug because you can't tell when it will happen and it isn't reproducible on demand.

I don't know if this could be an answer or not. I tried this out as seen on the excellent video you provided. What I noticed is you did not use lanes. Perhaps if you clicked those on you may see one lane. the volume, is not set to read. 
 
I'm thinking this is unlikely but perhaps?

It's not lanes as when I close and reopen the project, the automation starts playing as expected.
 
So somehow, it gets into a state where it wont play back until something is flushed out of the system.

Synaptic
This was actually on an audio track with no audio on it & no other plug ins.
 

The track icon on the selected Track 6 in your video indicates it's a synth track...?

I can't replicate here, tried to do what you appear to be doing with the instrument track. I haven't encountered this before. Can you give steps to reproduce?
