Using Audio Automation
You use Audio Automation to adjust volume on the fly while a sequence is playing.
1. Press 6 on the keyboard or click the Audio Mixer Tool button in the Timeline
toolbar.
2. Click the Write Audio Automation button.
3. Click in the Timeline where you want the audio automation to start.
4. Press the spacebar or click Play to play the sequence.
5. As the sequence is playing, click on the audio slider in the appropriate channel and
raise or lower it.
6. When you reach the end of the sequence, press the spacebar to stop.
The automation appears as fade control points in the audio tracks.
If you need to, you can go back to adjust the fade control points for each level.
Showing Audio Automation
When you play a sequence with Audio Automation, you may want to see the audio
sliders moving along with the video, which show you the audio changes you made
while recording.
If you play a sequence without Show Audio Automation on, you see the fade control
points from the automation, but the sliders don’t move during playback.
• Verify that the Show Audio Automation button is activated in the Audio Mixer
Tool.
When you play the sequence, the sliders move along with it.
If you need to do any fine-tuning, you can move any of the fade control points once
the sequence has stopped playing.
Removing Audio Automation
You can remove an individual fade control point or all points in a sequence.
Use one of these methods to remove audio automation:
• To remove a single fade control point, press Ctrl + click until the cursor changes
to a red hand, then click and remove the control point.
• To remove all fade control points, click Clear Audio Automation .
