Coalescing Clip Gain and Track
Volume Automation
(Pro Tools | Ultimate Software Only)
Pro Tools lets you coalesce clip gain settings to
track-based volume automation, as well as letting
you coalesce track-based volume automation to
clip gain settings.
When coalescing clip gain settings to volume auto-
mation, the clip gain settings are cut from the clip
and coalesced with track-based volume automa-
tion at the same timeline locations as the clip.
When coalescing track-based volume automation
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, vol-
ume automation is set to 0 dB for the selection.

Bypassing Clip Gain
Pro Tools lets you bypass the current clip gain set-
tings for any selected whole clip. This means that
you can hear the clip without any clip gain adjust-
ments without losing your current clip gain set-
tings.
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).
Rendering Clip Gain
Pro Tools lets you render the current clip gain set-
tings for any selected whole clip. Rendering clip
gain applies the current clip gain settings to a new
clip and sets the clip gain settings for the new clip
to 0 dB.
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.
