Editing Automation Breakpoints
To edit automation breakpoints, display the automation view for the control you want to edit by selecting it from the Track View selector, then do one of the following:
To create a new breakpoint:
Click with the Pencil or Grabber tool on the line graph.
To edit a single breakpoint:
Click an existing point on the line graph with the Grabber tool and drag it to a new position.
To clear a single breakpoint:
Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) with any Grabber tool.
To edit several breakpoints at once:
Use the Selector tool to select a range of automation data that contains the breakpoints, and do one of the following:
- To move the breakpoints earlier or later in the track, press the Plus key (+) to nudge them later (to the right) or the Minus key (–) to nudge them earlier (to the left). The breakpoints move by the current Nudge value.
When you nudge a selection containing breakpoints, if necessary, new anchor breakpoints are created to preserve the slope of the automation within the selection.
- To adjust the breakpoint values, click with any of the Trim tools in the selection and drag the breakpoints up or down.
When you use a Trim tool to edit a selection containing breakpoints, new anchor breakpoints are created before and after the selected area. To suppress creation of anchor breakpoints while using a Trim tool, hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) while trimming.
To edit all breakpoint values in a clip:
Click in the clip with any of the Trim tools and drag the breakpoints up or down.
