Audio processing and functions
The left part of the dialog contains a list of all processing
you have added to the clip, with the most recent opera-
tions at the bottom of the list. The “Start” and “Length”
columns indicate which section of the clip was affected by
each operation. The “Status” column indicates if the oper-
ation can be modified or undone.
3. Locate the operation you want to edit and select it by
clicking on it in the list.
• To modify the settings of the selected processing, click
the “Modify” button.
This opens the dialog for the processing function or applied effect, allow-
ing you to change the settings. This works just as when you applied the
processing or effect the first time.
• To replace the selected operation with another pro-
cessing function or effect, select the desired function from
the pop-up menu and click the “Replace By” button.
If the selected function has settings, a dialog will appear as usual. The
original operation will then be removed and the new processing will be
inserted in the Offline Process History.
• To remove the selected operation, click the “Remove”
button.
The processing is removed from the clip.
• To undo the selected operation and remove the pro-
cessing from the clip click the “Deactivate” button.
The processing is removed from the clip, but the operation remains in the
list. To redo the operation and apply the processing again, click the but
-
ton, now renamed to “Activate”, again.
4. Click “Close” to close the dialog.
Restrictions
• If there are no settings for the processing function, you
cannot modify it.
• If you have applied processing that changes the length
of the clip (such as Cut, Insert or Time Stretch), you can
only remove this if it is the most recent processing in the
Offline Process History (at the bottom of the list in the di
-
alog). If an operation cannot be removed or modified, this
is indicated by an icon in the “Status” column. Also, the
corresponding buttons will be grayed out.
Freeze Edits
The Freeze Edits function on the Audio menu allows you
to make all processing and applied effects permanent for
a clip:
1. Select the clip in the Pool or one of its events in the
Project window.
2. Select “Freeze Edits…” from the Audio menu.
• If there is only one edit version of the clip (no other clips
refer to the same audio file), the following dialog will appear:
If you select “Replace”, all edits will be applied to the orig-
inal audio file (the one listed in the clip’s Path column in
the Pool). If you select “New File”, the Freeze Edits opera-
tion will create a new file in the Audio folder within the
project folder (leaving the original audio file unaffected).
• If the selected clip (or the clip played by the selected
event) has several edit versions (i.
e. there are other clips
referring to the same audio file), the following alert will
appear:
As you can see, you do not have the option to Replace the
original audio file in this case. This is because that audio
file is used by other clips. Select “New File” to have a new
file created in the Audio folder within the project folder.
!
After a Freeze Edits, the clip refers to a new, single
audio file. If you open the Offline Process History
dialog for the clip, the list will be empty.
