Additionally, you can click any clip’s Audio Curve Editor button, at the bottom right-hand corner of
each audio clip, to open an audio-specific Curve Editor in which you can also keyframe volume.

How to Add and Adjust Volume Keyframes
Mixing audio by adding and adjusting individual keyframes can be a fast and effective way of
balancing clip levels with one another, fixing level problems within a particular clip, or even creating
simple mixes (although the mixing capabilities of the Fairlight page are considerablymore robust).
When manually editing any audio parameter curve, you can use the following procedures.
Methods of adding or selecting audio keyframes using the pointer:
– To add keyframes to the Volume curve: Hold the Option key down and click the curve to
place a keyframe at that frame. You must add at least two keyframes to create an automated
change in Volume.
– To select one or more keyframes: Click any keyframe to select it.
– To select multiple discontiguous keyframes: Command-click all keyframes you want to select,
whether they’re next to one another or not.
– To select multiple contiguous keyframes: Click the first keyframe you want to select, and then
shift-click the last keyframe you want to select, and all keyframes between will also be selected.
Methods of adjusting keyframes in the Volume overlay (or curve) using the pointer:
– To adjust any curve segment: Position the pointer over the overall segment for clips with no
keyframes, or position it between any two keyframes, directly on top of the curve segment you
want to raise or lower. When the Move cursor is displayed, click and drag up to raise the volume,
or down to reduce the volume.
– To adjust a keyframe in any direction: Move the pointer over a keyframe so that the four-way
cursor appears, and then click and drag up or down to change the volume, or side to side to
change its timing. The timing of audio keyframes can be adjusted in subframe increments, for
precision mixing.
– To adjust a keyframe in only one direction: Move the pointer over a keyframe so that the four-
way cursor appears, press Shift, and click and drag in the intended direction of adjustment, either
vertically to change the volume of the clip at that frame, or horizontally to move the keyframe to
a different point in time. Once you start dragging a keyframe into a particular direction, keyframe
movement is constrained in that direction until you release that keyframe. The timing of audio
keyframes can be adjusted in subframe increments, for precision mixing.
– To change one or more Linear keyframe to Ease In or Ease Out: Eased keyframes create
animated changes that begin slowly and accelerate to full speed, or slow down gradually to
decelerate to a stop. This only works when you have two or more keyframes creating an animated
effect. Select one or more keyframes, then right-click one of the selected keyframes and choose
Ease In, Ease Out, or Ease In and Out, depending on which keyframe you’re editing and the effect
you want to create.
– To change one or more eased keyframes to Linear: Select one or more keyframes, then right-
click one of the selected keyframes and choose Linear.
