Coalescing Clip Gain and Track
Volume Automation
(Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
Pro Tools 10 lets you coalesce clip gain settings
to track-based volume automation, as well as
letting you coalesce track-based volume auto-
mation to clip gain settings.
When coalescing clip gain settings to volume au-
tomation, the clip gain settings are cut from the
clip and coalesced with track-based volume au-
tomation at the same timeline locations as the
clip.
When coalescing track-based volume automa-
tion to clip gain, the volume automation is cut
from the track volume automation playlist and
coalesced with the selected clip gain settings.
Once volume automation has been coalesced to
clip gain, volume automation is set to 0 dB for
the selection.
To coalesce clip gain settings to track-based
volume automation:
1 Select a clip or make an Edit selection.
2 Choose Edit > Automation > Coalesce Clip Gain
to Volume Automation
.

Bypassing Clip Gain
Pro Tools 10 lets you bypass the current clip
gain settings for any selected whole clip. This
means that you can hear the clip without any
clip gain adjustments without losing your cur-
rent clip gain settings.
To bypass (or unbypass) clip gain for a clip, do one
of the following:
 Select one or more whole clips and choose Clip
> Clip Gain > Bypass Clip Gain
(or choose Clip >
Clip Gain > Unbypass Clip Gain)
.
 Right-click the Clip Gain Fader icon for a clip
and select (or deselect)
Bypass.
 Right-click a clip or an Edit selection and
choose
Clip Gain > Bypass Clip Gain (or choose
Clip Gain > Unbypass Clip Gain).
The clip gain settings for any whole clips within
the Edit selection are bypassed (or unbypassed).
Any clip gain settings above +12 dB are lost
when it is coalesced to volume automation.
Also, clip gain within crossfades is cross-
faded as part of the volume automation.
