Fades, crossfades and envelopes
• If you select a range encompassing a middle section of the
event, but not reaching neither the start nor the end, a fade in
is created from the beginning of the event to the beginning of
the selected range, and a fade out is created from the end of
the selected range to the end of the event.
About the volume handle
A selected audio event also has a square handle in the top
middle: the volume handle. It provides a quick way of
changing the volume of an event in the Project window.
Note that dragging the volume handle also changes the
value on the info line.
Removing fades
To remove the fades for an event, select the event and se-
lect “Remove Fades” from the Audio menu.
If you want to remove the fades in a specific range only,
select the fade area with the Range Selection tool and se
-
lect “Remove Fades” from the Audio menu.
Clip-based fades
If you have selected an audio event or a section of an au-
dio event (using the Range Selection tool), you can apply
a fade in or fade out to the selection by using the “Fade In”
or “Fade Out” function on the Process submenu of the
Audio menu. These functions open the corresponding
Fade dialog, allowing you to specify a fade curve. Fades
created this way are applied to the audio clip rather than
to the event.
• 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 254).
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 activate the “Please, don’t ask again” op-
tion. Regardless of whether you then choose “Continue”
or “New Version”, any further processing will conform to
the option you select.
You can change this setting at any time in the Preferences dialog (Edit-
ing–Audio page), under “On Processing Shared Clips”.
!
You can select multiple audio events on separate
tracks with the Range Selection tool, and apply the
fade to all of them simultaneously.
Drag the Volume handle
up or down to change
the volume of the event.
The volume change is displayed numerically on the info line.
The event waveform reflects the volume change.
!
The length of the fade area is determined by your se-
lection. In other words, you specify the length of the
fade before you open the Fade dialog. You can select
multiple events and apply the same processing to all
of them simultaneously.
