To set additional keyframes for a parameter while playback is paused:
1 Move the playhead to another point in the Viewer’s keyframe display area where you
want to set a keyframe.
2 Do one of the following:
 Drag the parameter slider to set a new keyframe with that value.
 Type a number into the appropriate field to set a new keyframe at that value.
 Click the appropriate keyframe button to add a keyframe to the overlay of that
parameter at the overlay’s current value.
 With the Option key held down, click anywhere on a parameter overlay with the Pen
tool to add a keyframe at that point without changing the value of the overlay. You
can add as many keyframes as you want by clicking repeatedly with the Option key
held down.
The new keyframe appears as a small diamond on top of the overlay.
To record keyframes for a parameter during playback:
1 In the Viewer or Timeline, move the playhead to the area of your sequence where you
want to record keyframes.
It’s a good idea to start a few seconds before the section you’ll actually be mixing, to
give yourself time to get ready.
Note: You can only record keyframes in an audio filter parameter during playback if the
Record Audio Keyframes button is enabled in the Audio Mixer window.
2 Begin playback of your sequence.
3 As your sequence plays, position the pointer over the relevant audio filter control in the
Filters tab of the Viewer, and press the mouse button to begin adjusting that
parameter.
4 When you’ve finished making a particular adjustment, release the mouse button to
insert an additional keyframe at the position of the playhead.
The sequence continues to play.
5 If there are any other audio filter parameters you want to adjust at this time, repeat
steps 3 and 4.
6 When you’ve finished making adjustments, stop playback.
