Edit automation curves
Alongside the normal mouse mode for editing already recorded curves (create
or delete curve point), a special
"Curve edit" mode
or "Object / Curve" mode
is provided.
In Curve edit mode you can directly draw, move and delete curves with a
double click. The mouse cursor switches between a Hand or Moving tool. If
your mouse is not directly above the curve, you can select an area of
automation points using the calculation tool.
In Object / curve mode you can also create new points on the curve or move
and delete curves with a double click. If you move away from the curve using
your mouse, you will automatically switch to object mode, in which you can
move objects and edit the start & end position, the fade-in & fade-out phases,
and the object volume.
Detailed information about curve modes can be found in "Screen elements ->
Toolbars -> Mouse mode bar".
Move automation curve with audio/MIDI data
To move the audio material to a new position on the timeline along with the
automation curve, the automation curve will have to be connected to the
object. This is possible via "Link curves to objects" mouse mode. Click this
button in the mouse mode toolbar to get started.
Objects may now be moved or copied together with your curve points.
Note: If you only wish to move or copy the curve points, follow the instructions
above and simply delete the objects once moved/copied. The curves remain
intact.
