  • Change audio or gain levels on many clips… shortcut?

    Posted by Joshua Pearson on March 30, 2016 at 8:17 pm

    I’ve learned how to set an in & out in the timeline, then find a good level and use the hamburger menu in the audio mixer tool to “Set level on track-global”, but I guess I am wondering if there is a quicker way… like copy & paste attributes from one clip to many, which does not seem to work if I have merely changed the gain of a clip.. gain does not seem copy-paste-able as an attribute. Then I tried to change the volume on one clip using a single keyframe to drag the volume down, and copying and pasting that as an attribute… this works, sort of… it behaves in a weird way where some clips will take the new pasted volume and some simply won’t.

    anyway, i thought id see if anyone has any tips on this… thanks!

    Me personally, I add keyframes and lasso, or IN OUT mark the area I want to increase

    I like to change the audio of the source in the source window so when applied to the timeline I generally do not need to make any further changes.

    hi ricky, may I ask how to change the source clip audio?

    Same as in timeline or record window – using audio mixer to adjust levels before editing into timeline. I do not believe you can use keyframing on the source but you can change levels and pans.

    Great Ricky!

    I’ve tried it, it helped a lot.

    Or select multiple clips in the bin and choose: Clip->Apply Gain, enter a value.
