Rendering Clip Gain

Pro Tools lets you render the current clip gain settings for any selected whole clip. Rendering clip gain applies the current clip gain settings to a new clip and sets the clip gain settings for the new clip to 0 dB.

To render clip gain for a clip, do one of the following:

Select one or more whole clips and choose Clip > Clip Gain > Render Clip Gain.

Right-click the Clip Gain Fader icon for a clip and choose Render Clip Gain.

Right-click a clip or an Edit selection and choose Clip Gain > Render Clip Gain.

Clip gain for any whole clips within the Edit selection is rendered and their clip gain settings are reset to 0 dB.

For clips with any clip gain settings other than 0 dB, the Prepare DPE Tracks command (for DestructivePunch) automatically renders all clip gain settings and resets all clip gain settings to 0 dB.

When processing in an AudioSuite mode that renders in clip gain, any clip gain settings are rendered first, and then AudioSuite processing is applied. Clip gain is reset to 0 dB for the resultant clip. However, when creating individual files with AudioSuite, or overwriting files clip-by-clip, clip gain settings are preserved. For more information, see Conditions for AudioSuite Rendering with Handles, Fades, Clip Gain, and Metadata.
