Adjust track volume with keyframes
You can adjust the volume level of a whole clip or track, or have the volume change over time using the rubber band
in an audio track of a Timeline panel.
1 Expand the audio track’s view by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name.
2 In the audio track header, click the Show Keyframes button , and choose one of the following from the menu:
Show Clip Keyframes Lets you animate audio effects for a clip, including Volume Level.
Show Clip Volume Lets you change only a clip’s Volume Level.
Show Track Keyframes Lets you animate many audio track effects, including Volume, Mute, and Balance.
Show Track Volume Lets you change only a track’s volume level.
3 If one of the Keyframes settings is selected, do one of the following:
• If Show Clip Keyframes is selected, choose Volume > Level from the drop-down menu at the head of the clip in the
audio track.
• If Show Track Keyframes is selected, choose Track > Volume from the drop-down menu at the head of the clip in
the audio track.
Note: Volume adjustment should be enabled by default.
4 Use either the Selection tool or the Pen tool to move the Volume level rubber band up (increase volume) or down
(decrease volume).
Note: If you want the Volume effect to change over time, place the current-time indicator at the location for each
change, click the Add/Remove Keyframe button in the audio track header, and drag the keyframe up (louder) or down
(quieter).
