Automatic coloring – Setting up conditions
When you have defined a custom color scheme, you have the option of
automatically applying this to any files you add to the Montage that match
certain conditions.
Select a custom color scheme in the Audio Montage Colors dialog and
click the Conditions button to bring up the “Style condition” dialog. Here
you can set up which conditions must be matched for a clip to automatically
get the selected custom color scheme. The procedures and options are the
same as when setting up style conditions for Wave windows (see “Setting
up style conditions” on page 735), with one exception: here, the “Name”
condition refers to the clip name, not the name of the actual audio file.
When you close the dialog, the selected color scheme will be applied to
all clips that match the set conditions.

Clip colors
Under the heading Clip Colors you can select colors for various elements
in the following clip types:
For each item, you can select colors for a number of different clip ele-
ments. You can make separate adjustments for the left and right sides of
a stereo clip, though by default, editing a color for the left side will auto-
matically change the same setting for the right side and vice versa (see
“Defining custom colors” on page 740). For mono clips, the “Left (mono)”
setting is used.
Option Description
Crossfade Region Allows you to set the background color for overlapping clip sections.
Default The default colors, used for clips for which you haven’t selected any spe-
cific color.
Locked The colors used for all locked clips.
Muted The colors used for all muted clips.
Custom These options correspond to the items on the Color submenus (on the
Track menu, clip speed menu and Groups view : Grouping menu). These
can be renamed, and you can also set up conditions for when these
should be automatically applied, as described above.
