From here, fade, pan, play, mute, various plugin parameters, camera, and projector settings can be changed for any moment in the timeline. In fact the only way to control camera and projector settings for video is automation. For audio, the Fade and Pan settings are offsetted with automation. The automation specifies an offset to be added to the console's setting. Play and Mute settings override the console.
Automation is drawn over the track view.
Create and drag automation points with the pointer. For audio, the Shift key tries to lock the automation setting to a desirable point while dragging. Automation can be edited much like text, by selecting regions and using the Edit menu's automation functions. The only automation affected by automation editing is what is selected as displayable. This way you can selectively cut and paste automation while leaving other automation untouched.
