Because each clip has its own independent audio levels, to use the Audio Mixer to set
the levels for the entire group, you need to keep the mouse button held down
continuously to record keyframes as you play back all six clips. If you stop halfway
through clip 4, the audio level overlays for these clips look like this:
This is because no fader movement was detected in either clip 5 or 6, so the levels
were not adjusted for these clips. If this happens, it’s easy to move the playhead back
to the beginning of the section you’re working on and record any additional keyframes.
When you release the mouse button, keyframe recording ends and the fader for that
track goes back to displaying the previously set levels. The same rules apply to
recording pan information.
Important:
If the Record Audio Keyframes button is not selected, no keyframes are
recorded when you move faders or panning sliders. However, you can still modify
keyframes and levels between any two keyframes.
To record audio level or pan keyframes:
1
Select the Record Audio Keyframes button in the button bar at the top of the
Audio Mixer.
∏
Tip: You can select or deselect the Record Audio Keyframes button during playback,
if necessary.
2
In the Viewer or Timeline, move the playhead to the area of your sequence where you
want to begin recording keyframes.
