 Record Audio Keyframes: When this option is selected, keyframes are recorded
whenever audio level, pan, or filter controls are adjusted. The pop-up menu defines
how detailed keyframe automation is when recorded using the Audio Mixer or audio
filter controls.
Note: The Record Audio Keyframes button also controls this option. By default, this
button appears in the button bar of the Audio Mixer (Tool Bench) window.
You can choose the resolution of keyframe recording (in other words, how often
audio level and panning keyframes are added to a clip while you adjust a fader in the
Audio Mixer). For more information about recording audio keyframes, see Volume III,
Chapter 5, “Using the Audio Mixer.”
 All: Records the maximum number of keyframes possible while you move a
channel strip’s fader or panning slider. The end result is a precise re-creation of the
levels you set using the Audio Mixer. The drawback to this option is that you might
end up with an extremely dense cluster of keyframes in the audio level overlays of
the affected clips that can be difficult to edit later.
 Reduced: Reduces the number of recorded keyframes that are created when you
move a channel strip’s fader or panning slider. The resulting level or panning
overlay in the Timeline or Viewer is an accurate reproduction of the levels you set,
but is easier to edit using the Selection or Pen tool.
 Peaks Only: Records only a minimum number of keyframes necessary to
approximate the levels you recorded when moving a channel strip’s fader or panning
slider. Keyframes recorded using the Peaks Only option reflect only the highest and
lowest levels that were recorded. This is primarily useful when you want to record a
minimum number of keyframes to edit later in the Timeline or Viewer.
 Pen tools can edit locked item overlays: If this option is selected, you can modify audio
level and video opacity keyframes in clips on locked tracks in the Timeline.
File Reconnection and Final Cut Studio Integration Options
 Always Reconnect Externally Modified Files: When this checkbox is selected,
Final Cut Pro reconnects clips to any media files that have been modified since the
last time Final Cut Pro was the active application. Select this option when you are
working with a lot of media files or projects, such as embedded Motion or
Soundtrack Pro projects. For more information, see “
 Warn on “Send to Soundtrack Pro Script”: When this checkbox is selected, Final Cut Pro
displays a dialog that allows you to decide how media files are processed when you
choose File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Script > Script Name. For more information,
see Volume III, Chapter 11, “Working with Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro.”
