Chapter 4: New Editing Features and Enhancements 29
The selected clip gain settings are copied to the
clipboard. Clip gain breakpoints on the clip-
board are time-stamped with the playback times
in the timebase of the track being copied (which
means you can copy and paste clip gain settings
from clips on tick-based tracks and have the
pasted clip gain settings match the correspond-
ing bar:beat locations of clips on other tick-
based tracks).
To paste clip gain settings:
1 Cut or Copy the clip gain settings you want.
2 Do one of the following:
• Select another clip.
• Make an Edit selection within a single
whole clip.
• Place the Edit In Point where you want the
cut or copied clip gain settings to be pasted.
3 Do one of the following:
•Choose
Edit > Paste Clip Gain.
– or –
• Press Command+V (Mac) or Control+V
(Windows).
The clip gain settings on the clipboard are
pasted into the clip starting at the Edit In Point.
The clip gain settings are pasted in their en-
tirety, but only apply to a single clip. If the
pasted clip gain settings extend beyond the end
of the clip, they are all still associated with the
clip. This means that if you trim out the clip
later, the pasted clip gain is revealed. When
pasting clip gain within a clip (rather than to a
single whole clip of the same duration), break-
points are added before and after the pasted data
so that any clip gain settings outside the paste
do not change.
Converting Clip Gain and Track
Volume Automation
(Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
Pro Tools 10 lets you convert clip gain settings
to track-based volume automation, as well as
letting you convert track-based volume automa-
tion to clip gain settings.
When converting clip gain settings to volume
automation, the clip gain settings are cut from
the clip and pasted to track-based volume auto-
mation at the same timeline locations as the
clip.
When converting track-based volume automa-
tion to clip gain, the volume automation is cut
from the track volume automation playlist and
pasted to the clip. Once volume automation has
been converted to clip gain, the clip gain set-
tings stay with the clip when moved, cut, copied,
or pasted.
To convert clip gain settings to track-based
volume automation:
1 Select a clip or make an Edit selection.
2 Choose Edit > Automation > Convert Clip Gain to
Volume Automation

faded as part of the volume automation.
