"Process Effect - Audio Effects" TAILS

[musical573]

When right clicking a clip, I go to "Process Effect" - "Audio Effects".....Is it possible for the processed audio to come out with the effects tail not abruptly cutting off at the clips end?

 

Thanks

No, because doing what you did is only applying the effect to the clip just like you would expect.  The clip would have to become longer to include the tail of the effect. 

One solution is to use an effect send on the track then the clip will feed that and not get cut off. If you don't want the effect anywhere else then automate the send.

Thanks. That's exactly what I did. Once upon a time, you could process clips this way.

The other option you can do is create a new audio track, then freeze the original track. In Freeze options (right click the freeze button on the track header to get to that), you can choose if it splits the track and how long the tail is between each split, which will preserve effects tails. Then shift+drag the frozen clips to the new audio track.

It's a few more steps but it both gets you exactly what you want, plus if you unfreeze the original track, that'll have the unprocessed audio, which you can archive and hide just as a backup.
