4 Begin playback.
5 Position the pointer over the audio filter control you want to adjust, and press the
mouse button to begin automation recording.
6 Hold down the mouse button to continue recording automation, 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 automation 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 4
through 6.
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.
Automating Audio Filter Parameters With Keyframes
You can add keyframes for any audio filter parameter just as you can with video
parameters. Unlike video parameters, you can add keyframes to an audio filter
parameter during playback as long as the Record Audio Keyframes button is enabled in
the Audio Mixer window.
