In addition to being able to change the volume levels of a whole track or a whole clip, it is also possible to vary the volume of a clip through its duration, by adding fade points.

To start editing fade points, select an audio clip, either from a bin or on a sequence, to show its waveform image in the clip preview. Overlayed on the image is a blue line showing how much gain will be applied at each point in time. Negative gain, when the blue line is below the center, will make the audio quieter. Positive gain, when the blue line is above the center, will make the audio louder.

Hover the mouse cursor over a fade point to show its position and gain value.
