Deleting envelope points
You can delete a point by right-clicking it and choosing Delete from the shortcut menu. If you want to delete
all envelope points, right-click a point and choose
Reset All from the shortcut menu.
Moving envelope points
Once you have added envelope points, you can raise and lower them to different levels along the timeline, or
you can adjust the envelope’s location along the timeline by dragging it right or left. You can move one point
at a time, even during playback and check the results in real time. If snapping is enabled, the envelope point
snaps to time divisions as you drag. Hold
while dragging to override snapping.
Tip:
You can move multiple envelope points at once using the
Envelope Edit tool. For more information, see Using the
Envelope Edit tool on page 165.

envelope, the fade curve is applied to that envelope segment. If you select a point, the fade curve is applied
to the segment of the envelope after the selected point.
