Clip Gain Line
The Clip Gain Line lets you edit the clip gain set-
tings for any given clip using breakpoint editing,
much like with track-based volume automation.
However, unlike track-based volume automation,
the clip gain settings are always associated with
the clip rather than with the track. The Clip Gain
Line can be shown or hidden for all clips in the
Edit window.
To show or hide the Clip Gain Line, do one of the
following:
 Select or deselect View > Clip > Clip Gain Line.
 Press Control+Shift+“-” (Hyphen) (Mac) or
Start+Shift+“-” (Hyphen) (Windows).
 Right-click the Clip Gain Fader icon on any clip
and choose
Show Clip Gain Line or Hide Clip
Gain Line
.
 Right-click any clip and choose Clip Gain >
Show Clip Gain Line
or Clip Gain > Hide Clip
Gain Line
.
Clip Gain Line and Crossfades
Clip gain is applied on a clip-by-clip basis. When
cross-fading between clips, the Clip Gain Line for
the first clip carries through the fade out segment
of the crossfade and the Clip Gain Line for the sec-
ond clip carries through the fade in segment of the
crossfade. Consequently, crossfades can display
two Clip Gain Lines, one for the first clip and one
for the second clip.
Editing Clip Gain
Pro Tools lets you adjust the gain settings for a clip
using the Clip Gain Fader for quick and easy ad-
justments, or using breakpoint editing on the Clip
Gain Line for detailed clip gain control.
Clip Gain Line (with multiple breakpoints)
The Clip Gain Line is only shown when the
track height is set to Small or larger.

low the edit.
