After Commit Until Next Node:

After Do Not Overwrite Existing Automation:

Commit until End: With this option checked, automation is written from the time of the event until the end of the session.

After Commit Until End:

Do not overwrite existing automation: With this option checked, automation will not be written to parameters with existing automation. Automation will only be written to empty parameters. In the example below, notice that automation is only written on channel 1 and 10 because they are the only channels that did not contain automation before the commit.

Note: When committing snapshots, the snapshot filter settings are taken into account. For example, if the snapshot has Mutes and Faders filtered out, then no automation nodes will be written to fader or mute automation tracks for all channels.
