To adjust a particular clip's volume, across the entire clip, you must use the vertical slider. Go to the first frame of the clip and when you click the vertical slider it will create a key-point, raise or lower to desired volume. Go to the END of the clip and repeat.
Definitely not as easy as other vdieo editors and too many steps. Other editors, clip volume can be done from the Timeline.
So true, CL mucked it up big time when they transitioned from PD11 to PD12 and worse yet kept the bizarre logic through PD15. In PD11 one could very easily change the volume of the whole clip, via the timeline or audio room, as the timeline scrubber at the left end of the clip controlled the entire clip volume.
Discussed in the day when released here,
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/30556.page#post_box_167687 but that's as far as it went.
One can even be given the illusion that entire clip volume is being adjusted in PD15 with control of the left edge. For instance, take a 10min clip and split at the 1min mark and delete the 9 min section, a typical edit perhaps. Now change the volume with the vertical slider in the audio mixing room for this 1 min clip with the timeline scrubber at the left edge of the clip, say increase 10dB for this test. One will see the right-side volume of the clip move as well, it actually moves at 9/10 the amplitude scale so the adjustment is 9.4dB as the volume zero anchor is still the 0dB adjustment at the 10min original clip length. Bizarre indeed.
I so long for a version that CL takes all the free knowledge provided in these forums by many and simply corrects the many anomalies, I'd think editors would be pleasantly happy.
