Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 980)

4 Begin playback.
5 Position the pointer over the audio filter control you want to adjust, then hold down the
mouse button to begin keyframe recording.
6 Hold down the mouse button to continue recording keyframes, and move the control
you’ve selected to adjust the audio filter parameter in real time while playback continues.
7 When you’ve finished, release the mouse button to stop keyframe recording.
The sequence continues to play, and the audio filter controls return to the previously set
levels.
8 If there are any other audio filter controls you want to adjust at this time, repeat steps 3
through 7.
9 When you’ve finished making adjustments, stop playback.
After you’ve finished adjusting one audio filter control, you can move the playhead back
to the beginning to record automation for other controls. The changes you’ve already
made play back, so that you can make further adjustments in relation to those you’ve
already set. In this way, you can continue layering automation using different audio filter
controls until you’ve adjusted the filter to your satisfaction.
Note: You can also make changes to clips with filter parameters for which you’ve already
recorded keyframes. New changes made to audio filter controls overwrite previously
recorded keyframes.
Saving a Filter or Transition as a Favorite
If you’ve customized a filter with parameter settings that you know you’ll want to use
again in the future, you can save that filter as a favorite for easy access.

submenu of the Effects menu.
