Chapter 27: Editing Clips and Selections 605
The selected clip gain settings are copied to the
clipboard. Clip gain breakpoints on the clipboard
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 corresponding bar:beat lo-
cations 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.
• 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 entirety, but only
apply to a single clip. If the pasted clip gain set-
tings 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 re-
vealed. When pasting clip gain within a clip (rather
than to a single whole clip of the same duration),
breakpoints 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 lets you convert clip gain settings to
track-based volume automation, as well as letting
you convert track-based volume automation to clip
gain settings.
When converting clip gain settings to volume au-
tomation, the clip gain settings are cut from the clip
and pasted to track-based volume automation at
the same timeline locations as the clip.
When converting track-based volume automation
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 settings 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
.
To convert track-based volume automation to clip
gain:
1 Select a clip or make an Edit selection.
2 Choose Edit > Automation > Convert Volume to
Clip Gain
.
Any clip gain settings above +12 dB are lost
when converted to volume automation. Also,
clip gain settings within crossfades are cross-
faded as part of the volume automation.
