Audio processing and functions
Freeze Edits
The left part of the dialog contains a list of all processing you have added to the clip,
with the most recent operations 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 operation 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, allowing 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 processing 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 processing 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 button, 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 dialog). 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 original audio file (the one listed
in the clip’s Path column in the Pool). If you select “New File”, the Freeze Edits
operation will create a new file in the Audio folder within the project folder (leaving the
original audio file unaffected).
