 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).
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:
m
Move the playhead in the Viewer to the place where you want to set a keyframe, then
click the Level or Pan Keyframe button.
m
Select the Selection tool (or press A), then hold down the Option key and position the
pointer over the level overlay. The pointer turns into the Pen tool. Click a level overlay
with the Pen tool to add a keyframe at that point.
The keyframe appears as a small diamond on the overlay.
A keyframe appears at the
location of the playhead.
