Reset all envelope volumes at once

[mortenr94378990]

Hi!

I have a lot of clips in a project timeline with changed envelope volume. I haven't used keyframes but just dragged the yellow envelope volume line up and down to affect the entire clip. Now I want to reset all these envelope volume changes back to zero db without having to manually drag each and every volume line to 0 db. 

Can I do this in sort of the same way as I can mark alle keyframes and delete all keyframes at once?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Morten

Yes they are the same - just in a different place. Select any keyframe and right-click on it. Take the 'Select all Keyframes' option, and then do it again and select 'Delete all Keyframes'. For that track, you're done.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the reply but this doesn't solve my issue as I have just lowered the overall volume of the clip using Envelopes. But not added any keyframes. So I want to be able to select multiple clips and somehow "Reset all Envelope Volume settings to 0db". Best - Morten.

Ah. Just dragging the volume envelope line down represents a bit of an anomaly in terms of keyframes - along with the Pan control, which has the same issue. The information about these settings is certainly written into the clip properties, but there's no way of resetting them externally, or by right-clicking on them, which is a little unfortunate. By and large, I think that people tend to leave them alone, and either put keyframe markers down, or use the track volume and pan controls. There are rather a lot of ways of varying the level of a clip, one way or another, and anything not easily resettable except by dragging it might well be best avoided...

In some ways it might not be too difficult to write an app that would locate the data controlling this in your session file, and provide a means to reset it (with the emphasis on might) - but you'd have to ask SuiteSpot about that - it's his field of expertise. As for the devs adding an option to do this, especially on multiple clips... hmm, bit of an ask, that. Generally they freak out about loss of data (look at the overdub scenario) so if they were to provide this at all, they'd almost want to put an 'are you sure?' warning on it before you could action it, I think.

Hi Steve. 

Thank you so much for the very thorough explanation. I really appreciate it - and everything you write makes sense.

Thanks!

Best,

Just read this post and the responses.  It's a shame you can't reset all clips.

I exported a sequence from Premiere, but unticked the box to pass on all my rough volume controls for each clip - I wanted the sequence to arrive in Audition fresh, so I can do the mix from scratch.  Fairly normal, so far, right?

Well, obviously there was a problem.  Isn't there always?  Upon arriving in Audition , all the clips had their yellow lines of  volume set to +9.0 dB.  Why!?  They all should be 0dB.

So now I've got to go through and set every clip back to 0dB by hand.

And they say computers are there to make things easier and help you.  Not when using Adobe, they're not.


Any way, not expecting a reply.  Just wanted to vent.  Right, back to moving yellows lines back to 0dB......

I just came through the same problem. It seems that you have to check the "Pan & Volume Information" checkbox, either way the envelopes default to +9dB!

Yeah, I can "Remove All Attributes" in Premiere but that doesn't always happen and the fact it doesn't exist in Audition is mind-boggling!

This is what i do to tackle that problem: I exported the Multitrack session to XML. And then import the XML to a new file session. But it clear all include your Effect and all.
