Working with Audio
Gain: Sets the target gain used for volume. Values range from –96 dB to +6 dB.
Loops: Sets the number of times the auto pan effect repeats. Values range from 1 to 
30.
Apply Volume: Sets how the audio levels change when the Auto Pan effect repeats. 
Value can be set to Once Per Loop or Over Entire Duration. If set to Once Per Loop, the 
Auto Pan affects audio level changes each time a loop marker is met. If set to Over 
Entire Duration, the Auto Pan affects audio level changes.
End Condition: Sets how the pan loops when the Auto Pan effect repeats. Value can 
be set to Repeat or Ping Pong. This setting has an effect only if Loops is set to a value 
greater than 1.
Start Offset: Sets the number of frames from the beginning of the audio after which 
the audio effect starts.
End Offset: Sets the number of frames from the end of the audio before which the 
audio effect stops.

Parameters in the Inspector
Fade In Time: Sets the number of frames over which the audio fades in from –96 dB to 
0 dB from the first frame of the audio track. A duration of 0 frames leaves the 
beginning of the audio track unmodified.
Fade Out Time: Sets the number of frames over which the audio fades out from 0 dB 
to –96 dB. A duration of 0 frames leaves the end of the audio track unmodified.
Start Offset: Sets the number of frames from the beginning of the audio track after 
which the volume animation starts. Adjust this parameter to make the behavior start 
after the beginning of the audio track.
