CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
This will create a control point which can be moved in every direction
on the audio clip.
When you move the control point up or down, you can turn up or
down the volume of the respective clip.
If you want to create audio peaks or fade-in or -out audio, you have to
create more than one control point and set them accordingly. There is
no limit in the total number of control points and new ones can be cre-
ated as described above.
As an example, the following figure shows an audio project with control
points set to create fades:

To control the setting of a control point the Edit Tool shows you its cur-
rent volume level in decibel via a tooltip. Simply move the mouse cursor
over a control point to view its setting:

The decibel scale of the Edit Tool is as follows:
The control points react to certain elements in the video and
audio tracks of the timeline (snapping mode) to allow for an
automated positioning. You can deactivate the snapping mode
and activate a fine tuning mode by pressing the [Shift] key. Fur-
ther information about the snapping mode can be found in
section “Moving Clips within the Timeline” on page 6-38.
To delete a control point select from its context menu the
menu option Remove control point (see also section “The
Context Menu of Audio Clips” on page 6-75).
