Hide envelopes
From the View menu, choose Video Envelopes and select the envelope you want to hide.
Hiding an envelope simply removes the line from the timeline while retaining automation properties.
From the View menu, choose Show Envelopes (or press Ctrl+Shift+E) to toggle the display of all
envelopes in the timeline.
Lock envelopes to events
From the Options menu, choose Lock Envelopes to Events if you want envelope points and position to
move with an event when it is moved along the timeline.
This button also locks track-level keyframes to the events on the track. When keyframes are locked,
you can move events along the timeline, and their associated keyframes move with them.
Automating Audio Effect Parameters
When you add an effect that supports automation, you can use automation to dynamically adjust effect
parameters.
Automation for audio track effects is applied on the audio track. Automation for bus effects and
assignable effects is applied on the appropriate bus track.
