Adjusting audio on the Timeline

Audio levels can be adjusted directly within a clip on the Timeline.

When you add a new audio clip to the Timeline:

·     The volume adjustment line of the newly-created clip connects the lines from the preceding and following clips if any are present.

·     If no volume adjustments have been made to other clips on the track, the volume line through the new clip is horizontal.

·     If no volume adjustments have been made either to other clips or to the overall track volume, the volume line through the new clip is at three-quarters height.

To adjust the volume of a clip on the Timeline, select it (by left clicking), then move your mouse pointer close to the line. The volume adjustment cursor will appear:

Click the left mouse button, and drag up or down within the clip. The volume line bends as it follows the mouse.

When you release the mouse, Pinnacle VideoSpin creates an adjustment handle on the volume line.

When your mouse pointer is positioned over an adjustment handle on a selected clip, a highlighted version of the volume adjustment cursor appears. With this cursor, you can click and drag the adjustment handle both vertically and horizontally.

Right-click an adjustment handle to access the context menu command Delete volume setting. This command removes one adjustment handle. Use Remove volume changes to remove all the handles from the clip.
