Note:
You can create a one-second clip containing color bars and a 1-kHz tone, as a reference for calibrating video and audio equipment.
1. In the Project panel, click the New Item button
at the bottom of the Project panel and choose Bars And Tone.
2. In the New Synthetic dialog box, set Width, Height, Timebase, Pixel Aspect Ratio, and Sample Rate to match these same settings for the
sequence in which you will use the bars and tone. Click OK.
Some audio workflows must be calibrated at a specific tone level. The default level of the 1-kHz tone is -12 dB referenced to 0 dBFS. You
can customize the tone level to match your audio workflow by choosing Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain with a clip selected. If you select the
bars and tone clip in the Project panel, you set the default gain level for new clip instances. If you select a clip in a Timeline panel, you change the
level for that clip instance only.
