6.6.3 Volume Control
The button VOLUME is important for audio clips. You can find
it at the bottom of the timeline area to the left of the sliders to
change the timeline’s view. This button displays or hides the volume
control lines of audio clips.
With the volume control lines you can change the volume for each clip
separately. If the button VOLUME is in its active state, the volume control
lines are visible.
Figure 6-65: Volume control of audio
After dragging an audio clip to one of the audio tracks from the bin, the
whole volume control line is set to 100 % (as shown in figure 6-64 on
page 6-74). In this state there may be two volume control points avail-
able, one at the beginning of the clip and one at its end.
To tune the audio volume up or down you have to either use the al-
ready available volume control points or create new ones. To create a
new volume control point perform the following:
y Move the mouse cursor horizontally on the volume control line to
the location where the control point should be added. As soon as
you can add a control point, the mouse cursor changes to a cross.
y Then click with the mouse.
Relink clip Once a clip is available in the timeline, it can be
relinked, i.e. referenced to other source material
manually from the timeline directly. For further in-
formation about this see section “Relinking Clips”
on page 6-58.
Bin-Clip
properties
With this menu option you can open from a clip in
the timeline the properties of its source clip in the
bin (see section “Changing the Properties of
Clips” on page 4-21).
Whether the start and end control points are available depends
on whether the clip is trimmed (in- and/or outpoint adjusted).
