Just tested "Bounce to Clip" on an automated track, and the automation remained on the track.
Bounce to clips renders gain automation only. possibly you are confusing it with bounce to tracks.
Its an easy mistake. Bounce to clips is for healing/rendering slip data, clip data together. not for rendering automation or FX.
You are best off using bounce to tracks. if you have multiple tracks, use the export function.
