Deleting Audio Level and Pan Keyframes
You can easily remove level and pan automation from clips in a sequence using the
Remove Attributes command. Audio level and pan keyframes can be removed
separately or together.
To remove keyframes using the Remove Attributes command:
1 Do one of the following:
 Select one or more clips in the Timeline, then choose Edit > Remove Attributes.
 Select one or more clips in the Timeline, Control-click one of the selected clips, then
choose Remove Attributes from the shortcut menu.
2 In the Remove Attributes dialog, click Levels or Pan to delete keyframes from those overlays.
3 When you’re finished, click OK.
All level and pan keyframes are removed from the selected clip, and the audio level is
reset to 0 dB.
Using a Control Surface With the Audio Mixer
A control surface is a hardware device with faders, knobs, and buttons that can control
the Final Cut Pro Audio Mixer. You can use a supported control surface to remotely
control audio faders, pan settings, mute and solo buttons, and even the transport
controls in your sequence. Control surfaces emulate traditional audio mixing consoles,
giving you tactile control over multiple faders at once.
Click one or both of
these checkboxes to
delete keyframes from
overlays.
