Adding or removing a timeline volume envelope
You can add or remove a timeline volume envelope to or from either audio layer. To add or remove an envelope, from the Insert menu,
choose Insert/Remove Volume Envelope. If you remove an envelope, all points you set are deleted.
Note: You can hide an envelope without deleting the points or affecting playback. For more information, see Showing or hiding a
timeline volume envelope on page 74.
Adjusting the volume
To adjust the overall volume, drag the envelope line up or down. A floating tooltip shows you how much you are adjusting the envelope.
As you add envelope points, you can drag each envelope point up or down to adjust the volume individually.
Adding or deleting envelope points
By default, a new timeline volume envelope contains a single envelope point. You can change the volume of your project an unlimited
number of times across the timeline by adding additional envelope points. To add more points, simply double-click on the envelope line
where you want to add a new point. You can then drag each envelope point up or down to adjust the volume as needed.
If you want to delete an envelope point, right click the point and choose Delete from the shortcut menu. You can delete all envelope
points by right-clicking anywhere on the line and selecting Reset All from the shortcut menu.
Moving envelope points
Once the envelope points have been added, you may raise and lower them to different levels along the timeline. You may move one
point at a time, even during playback, and check the results in real time. Also, you may set the type of fade curve after each envelope
point.
1. Place the mouse pointer on an envelope point. The pointer changes to a hand icon .
2. Drag the point to the desired position. As you move an envelope point, a tooltip displays both the point’s location on the timeline
and its decibel level/percent pan.
Set one point at a time or
use the Envelope tool to
select and move multiple
points at a time.
3. Click the Play or the Play From Start buttons to play back the project and check the timing of the envelope.
Note: You may also set the value of the point by right-clicking an envelope point and choosing a setting from the shortcut menu or
choose Select All from the shortcut menu to raise or lower all points on the envelope.
