WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 5

Changing envelope fade curves

You can set the type of fade curve Vegas uses after each envelope point: linear, fast, slow, smooth, or sharp.

You can select either a point or a portion of the envelope to set the fade curve. If you select a portion of the

envelope, Vegas applies the fade curve to that envelope segment. If you select a point, Vegas applies the fade

curve to the segment of the envelope after the selected point.

Right-click a point or a portion of the envelope to display a shortcut menu.

From the shortcut menu, choose the curve type.

Tip:

If you use the same fade curve frequently, you can set it

as a default all new audio or video envelopes. For more

information, see Editing tab on page 275.

Hiding track envelopes

After you have set your envelopes on the tracks, you can hide them from the track view. Hiding track

envelopes does not affect playback. The points that you set still automate the controls, even though the

envelopes are not visible.

From the View menu, choose either Audio Envelopes or Video Envelopes. A submenu appears. Envelopes

at are currently displayed are selected in the submenu.

From the submenu, choose an envelope name. All envelopes in your project of that type no longer appear

in the track view.

Removing track envelopes

When an envelope is removed, the events on the track no longer have automated control and the envelope

line no longer displays.

Select the track(s) from which you want to remove envelopes.

From the Insert menu, choose either Audio Envelopes or Video Envelopes. A submenu appears. Envelopes

at are currently displayed are selected.

From the submenu, click an envelope name. The envelope of that type is removed from the selected track.

Alternately, right-click an empty area of a track, choose

Insert/Remove Envelope from the shortcut menu, and

choose an envelope type from the submenu to remove that envelope.

Note:

When you remove a track envelope from a track and

then add it again, all points are reset.

Using the Envelope Edit tool

You can also edit envelope points using the Envelope Edit tool. To use this tool, click the Envelope Edit Tool

button ( ). The advantage of switching to this tool to edit envelopes is that events cannot be moved when

this tool is selected, thereby protecting them from changes. This effectively locks all of the events and effects

in a project while you modify envelopes.
