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 the next section,“ Using
Audio Mixer Views .”
Record Audio Keyframes Option
When Record Audio Keyframes is enabled, 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, or the faders and controls on a connected audio
control surface.
The Record Audio Keyframes option must be selected to record real-time level and
panning automation during playback. If not, changes made to 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.
