Envelope Editing

So if I'm right, we're back to the old way of having to "Add nodes at selection" rather than just click/drag & adjust.

Is this so? Can anyone confirm?

    Nope.  There's now a "shelf" function in the Smart Tool.  Make your time range selection on an envelope, move up to the top, where the clip header is, and click and hold; Move down/up.  This should be easier and less steps than the "insert nodes at selection" command.

    Yep, it should be very close to the way it was done in X1. Check out this X1 demo video...

    It seems like there is a difference now, though, if you want to move a line of automation between two selected nodes. In X1 you could just click on the line between the two nodes and move both nodes simultaneously where you wanted them. In X2, it seems like you must lasso the two nodes to select, and then grab only one of the nodes to move both nodes and the line of automation between them. If you try to click in between two nodes to move them, as in X1, all you do is add another node.

    Hold down the ctrl key and click on the segment to drag up and down.
     
    It can also done by clicking the level tool toward the top of the clip above the segment and then clicking on one of the nodes to move both.

    Cool! Thanks for the info! I could have sworn I tried every control-shift-alt combination to make it work like that... but I guess I didn't.
     
     
    Your X2 tutorial examples look very thorough. Looks like extremely good presentation & info. May get it just to be sure I'm not missing any of X2's more obvious functions.
     
     
    Thanks again.

    Check out Seths webinar for X1 users transitioning to X2 linked at the top of this forum.
    That covers the basics of automation editing in X2 pretty well.
