Clip Gain Line

The Clip Gain Line lets you edit the clip gain settings for any given clip using breakpoint editing, much like with track-based volume automation. However, unlike track-based volume automation, the clip gain settings are always associated with the clip rather than with the track. The Clip Gain Line can be shown or hidden for all clips in the Edit window.

 

Clip Gain Line (with multiple breakpoints)

To show or hide the Clip Gain Line, do one of the following:

Select or deselect View > Clip > Clip Gain Line.

Press Control+Shift+“-” (Hyphen) (Mac) or Start+Shift+“-” (Hyphen) (Windows).

Right-click the Clip Gain Fader icon on any clip and choose Show Clip Gain Line or Hide Clip Gain Line.

Right-click any clip and choose Clip Gain > Show Clip Gain Line or Clip Gain > Hide Clip Gain Line.

The Clip Gain Line is only shown when the track height is set to Small or larger.

Clip Gain Line and Crossfades

Clip gain is applied on a clip-by-clip basis. When cross-fading between clips, the Clip Gain Line for the first clip carries through the fade out segment of the crossfade and the Clip Gain Line for the second clip carries through the fade in segment of the crossfade. Consequently, crossfades can display two Clip Gain Lines, one for the first clip and one for the second clip.
