How can I automate the velocity of a midi clip?

Can't find an option in automation lanes.

The answer is you can't and those are the tools you have available

Velocity is a property of the note events themselves - there is no way to automate them.

Expression ( MIDI CC#11 ) is probably the closest thing to it, assuming it's been implemented by the VSTi as it was originally intended.

What CC11 should do is scale what the velocity comes out as - so at 127,  a note with velocity 127 will sound at full volume. If expression is at 64, then a note with a velocity of 127 should sound as if it was played with velocity 64; notes with a velocity of 64 should sound as if they were played at 32 etc.

Ah, ok! I thought that there will be some way.

Thank you again.

Oddly.... this menu only shows if there's a clip present. Normally I'd expect it to be there but grayed out when  there's no clip.

Same reason that you can't open the Event View if there is no MIDI in the project. The SW is smarter than we are. 🤣
