left to change the
clip’s offset.
The waveform moves
inside the clip’s
boundary to indicate
the change in offset.
Once you have changed the offset by dragging to the left, you can also drag to the right
to change the offset.
Note: You can only drag the offset to a later part of the clip’s source audio file, not to a
point before the beginning of the file.
When you change the offset of a clip, the waveform moves inside the clip’s boundary to
indicate the change in offset. The length of the clip stays the same. If you slip past the
end of the media, looping files repeat and non-looping files play silence. For looping
clips, notches appear to show the point at which the clip starts looping.
Creating Fades and Crossfades in the Timeline
One of the most common tasks of a sound editor is adding fade-ins and fade-outs to
individual clips and crossfades between clips to smooth the overall sound of a video or
motion picture soundtrack.
Tip: Fades and crossfades can be applied using keyboard shortcuts. For more information,
see
Soundtrack Pro Keyboard Shortcuts .
Types of Fade-Ins and Fade-Outs
This list describes the different types of fade-ins. The reverse behavior is true for fade-outs
in the logarithmic and exponential cases.
