• Pan Keyframe button: This button, to the right of the Pan slider, places a pan keyframe
at the current playhead location on the pan overlay. These keyframe markers can be
used in preparation for dynamically panning an audio clip’s output from one stereo
channel to another.
• Pan keyframe navigation buttons: These buttons, to the left and right of the Pan Keyframe
button, allow you to move the playhead forward or backward from one keyframe on
the pan overlay to the next.
• Reset button: This button deletes all marked keyframes on both the audio level overlay
and the pan overlay of the currently selected audio track and resets both to their original
values (0 dB for the audio level and –1 for the pan level).
Working with Keyframes
Until you create at least one audio level or pan keyframe in your audio clip, changes you
make affect the level or stereo placement of your entire clip. Although you need two
keyframes to do anything useful, once you set the first audio level or pan keyframe, any
changes you make to the keyframed levels anywhere else in the clip generate additional
keyframes.
To set a keyframe
Do one of the following:
µ
Move the playhead in the Viewer to the place where you want to set a keyframe, then
click the Level Keyframe or Pan Keyframe button.
A keyframe appears
at the location of
the playhead.
