Trim Edit Window Options
• Dynamic Trimming: Select Dynamic Trimming to allow edit points in the Trim Edit
window to automatically follow the position of the playhead. For more information,
see
The setting is also applicable for trimming; see
• Trim with Sequence Audio: When this option is selected, you hear all sequence audio
tracks while using the J, K, and L keys on either side of the Trim Edit window.
• Trim with Edit Selection Audio (Mute Others): When this option is selected, all audio tracks
except the ones currently selected in the Timeline are muted when you use the J, K,
and L keys to play clips on either side of the Trim Edit window.
• Multi-Frame Trim Size: This value determines how many frames are trimmed when using
the Trim Back and Trim Forward buttons in the Trim Edit window or the equivalent
shortcut keys in the Timeline. The maximum number of frames allowed is 99. For more
information, see
“Trimming Clips Using the Trim Edit Window.”
Visibility, Track Locking, and Audio Keyframe Options
• Warn if visibility change deletes render file: Making an entire track invisible automatically
deletes any render files associated with that track. Make sure you select this option to
see a warning before this occurs.
Note: As an alternative to hiding a track and losing its render files, you can make
individual items invisible, which preserves these render files. To find out how to disable
individual clip items, see
• Record Audio Keyframes: When this option is selected, keyframes are recorded whenever
audio level, pan, or filter controls are adjusted. The pop-up menu defines how detailed
keyframe automation is when recorded using the Audio Mixer or audio filter controls.
Note: The Record Audio Keyframes button also controls this option. By default, this
button appears in the button bar of the Audio Mixer tab of the Tool Bench window.
You can choose the resolution of keyframe recording (in other words, how often audio
level and pan keyframes are added to a clip while you adjust a fader in the Audio Mixer).
For more information about recording audio keyframes, see
• All: Records the maximum number of keyframes possible while you move a channel
strip’s fader or panning slider. The end result is a precise re-creation of the levels you
set using the Audio Mixer. The drawback to this option is that you might end up with
an extremely dense cluster of keyframes in the audio level overlays of the affected
clips that can be difficult to edit later.
• Reduced: Reduces the number of recorded keyframes that are created when you
move a channel strip’s fader or panning slider. The resulting audio level or pan overlay
in the Timeline or Viewer is an accurate reproduction of the levels you set but is
easier to edit using the Selection or Pen tool.
