Envelope window
Open the sound sample menu by selecting it with the big, left
trackball button. You can then select Envelope in the sound
sample menu.
You already know this window for editing the envelope from
earlier Smart Edit versions. It has been explained in the corres-
ponding manual. In Smart Edit 9, the window has gained new
buttons to play sound samples. You have now two buttons at
your disposal:
• The left play button plays only the sample you are presently
editing, i.e. the one displayed in the envelope
• The right play button plays also all the other sound tracks.
This way, you can check the overall sound of all sound
tracks.
Creating samples
This function is available in both the storyboard and timeline
views. If you want to create a new sound sample from a part of
the audio-mix, you should select this option. You will then get
a menu with the following options:
In order to move, you should click on the green point. It will
now become blue to indicate that you can move it.
Should clipping occur, this will be indicated in red. W While
editing the envelope, the red color changes of the volume line
will indicate where clipping occurs. Of course, this information
is only about the sound sample, not about the overall relation-
ship with the other tracks.
Context actions
If you place the mouse pointer over the envelope, you can click
on the small left trackball button to call up a context menu.
Note: If you have a trackball with only two buttons, you should
click in the sound sample menu above and then select „Con-
text-Action“. The mouse pointer will change and you can then
use it to click the left trackball button inside the envelope to
activate the context menu for the envelope.
The table below shows the functions that apply to the envel-
ope and when they are available.
If you want to delete a point, simply select it and then click on
the small left trackball button to open the context menu. There,
you can select „Remove point“.
A point that has already been colored green can also be delet-
ed via the sample menu. Click on the large left trackball button
and select „Remove active point“. The green colored point in
the envelope will then be deleted. If you are using a two-button
trackball, this may be more convenient.
