Question

Full Volume Scrubbing through `Clip Volume` Affected Clips

When I use the Clip Volume effect on a music audio clip and use the playback it plays at the correct volume. For example, if I set the Clip Volume effect to be at -20 db, it plays back at -20 db correctly. However, instead if I scrub through the clip on the timeline without simply pressing play it scrubs through at full volume which can be jarring and hurt your ears while you're going through clips. I don't think this is intentional, or at least I hope it isn't.

Additionally, bit of a side note, the save system info to clipboard when clicking report a bug does not seem to work.

I have just looked at this using the inbuilt  bars and tone. I tried clip volume in effects control, audio gain in the right click menu and fader adjustment in the clip mixer and all seemed fine the scrub level was the same as the play level.

Hello Richard, sorry for the late reply, I never seemed to get any notifications or emails for anyone replying to the post even though I have it set to notify me.

Admittedly this isn't an urgent issue regardless, but it is still one I believe should be fixed. I just tested it out with bars and tone and it had the exact same issue. See both the video I provided in the original post and the one I'm attaching to this reply

I see you're using the Essential Sound panel. I have just tried reducing the level in that panel as you did and I get the same fault. Other methods of clip level work ok.
