Chapter 27: Editing Clips and Selections 599
All clips have a clip gain of 0 dB by default. Clip
gain can be adjusted from –144 dB to +36.0 dB.
Static Versus Dynamic Clip Gain
You can have either static or dynamic clip gain set-
tings for a single clip. Static clip gain simply
means that there is a single gain setting for the en-
tire clip (see “Simple Clip Gain Adjustment” on
page 601). Dynamic clip gain means that you can
have gain settings for a clip that vary over time (see
“Graphically Editing Clip Gain” on page 601).
Clip Gain Info View
When Clip Gain Info view is enabled (View >
Clip > Clip Gain Info
), the Clip Gain Fader icon is
shown at the beginning of the clip, in the lower left
corner. If the clip uses static clip gain, the static
Clip Gain value (–144 dB to +36.0 dB) for the clip
is displayed to the right of the Clip Gain Fader
icon. For a clip that has dynamic clip gain (using
breakpoint gain settings), the Clip Gain value is
not shown.
Clip Gain commands (including the Clip Gain
Fader and its Right-click commands) only apply to
the single, whole clip with which it is associated.
To show or hide Clip Gain icon, do one of the
following:
 Select or deselect View > Clip > Clip Gain Info.
 Press Control+Shift+“=” (Equal) (Mac) or
Start+Shift+“=” (Equal) (Windows).
