View Buttons
The View buttons allow you to organize the Audio Mixer into different subsets (or
“banks”) of visible track strips. For example, you might choose to create two separate
views to mix your sequence—one for viewing only music tracks and another for
viewing dialogue tracks. This is especially useful when mixing a sequence that has
more audio tracks than will fit in the Audio Mixer tab at once. Each sequence in a
project stores four views.
For more information on how to use the View buttons, see “ Using Audio Mixer Views ”
on page 78.
Record Audio Keyframes Option
When Record Audio Keyframes is selected, new keyframes are created whenever an
audio control is moved. Audio controls that can be used to create keyframes during
playback include the faders and panning sliders in the Audio Mixer, the Level and Pan
sliders in the audio tabs of the Viewer, and the faders and controls on a connected
audio control surface.
The Record Audio Keyframes option must be selected to record real-time level and pan
automation during playback. If the Record Audio Keyframes option is not selected,
changes to the level and panning sliders only affect the overall levels of clips that have
no keyframes, or modify whatever keyframes already exist without creating new ones.
