Using Audio Automation
You can use Audio Automation to adjust volume on the fly while a sequence is
playing. You can then go back to adjust the fade control points for each level.
To use Audio Automation:
1. Press 6 on the keyboard to select the Audio Mixer Tool.
2. Click the Write Audio Automation button.
3. Click in the Timeline where you want the audio automation to start.
4. Press F10 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.
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.
To show Audio Automation:
• 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.
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.
