Fades, crossfades and envelopes
Fades created this way are applied to the audio clip rather
than to the event. Please note the following:
• If you later create new events that refer to the same clip, these
will have the same fades.
• You can remove or modify the fades at any time using the Of-
fline Process History (see “The Offline Process History dialog”
on page 227).
If other events refer to the same audio clip, you will be
asked whether you want the processing to be applied to
these events or not.
• Continue will apply the processing to all events that refer to
the audio clip.
• New Version will create a separate, new version of the audio
clip for the selected event.
• You can also choose to put a checkmark in the “Do not show
this message again” box. Regardless of whether you then
choose “Continue” or “New Version”, any further processing
will conform to the option you select.
The Fade dialogs
The Fade dialogs appear when you edit an existing fade or
use the “Fade In”/“Fade Out” functions on the Process
submenu on the Audio menu. The picture below shows
the Fade In dialog; the Fade Out dialog has identical set-
tings and features.
• If you open the Fade dialog(s) with several events se-
lected, you can adjust the fade curves for all these events
at the same time.
This is useful if you want to apply the same type of fade-in to more than
one event, etc.
Curve Kind
These determine whether the fade curve should consist of
spline curve segments (left button), damped spline seg-
ments (middle button) or linear segments (right button).
Fade display
Shows the shape of the fade curve. The resulting wave-
form shape is shown in dark gray, with the current wave-
form shape in light gray.
You can click on the curve to add points, and click and
drag existing points to change the shape. To remove a
point from the curve, drag it outside the display.
Curve shape buttons
These buttons give you quick access to some common
curve shapes.
Restore button
The Restore button (to the right above the fade display) is
only available when editing fades made by dragging the
fade handles. Click this to cancel any changes you have
made since opening the dialog.
As Default button
The “As Default” button is only available when editing
fades made by dragging the fade handles. Click this to
store the current settings as the default fade. This shape
will be used whenever you create new fades.
Fade Length Value
The Fade Length Value can be used to enter fade lengths
numerically. The format of values displayed here are deter-
mined by the Primary Time Display in the Transport Panel.
When you activate the “Apply Length” option, the value en-
tered in the Fade Length value field will be used when click-
ing “Apply” or “OK”. This setting is deactivated by default.
!
You can change this setting at any time in the Prefer-
ences (Editing–Audio page), under “On Processing
Shared Clips”.
