  • event audio keyframes?

    Posted by René Van gageldonk on December 3, 2019 at 6:29 pm

    In Vegas Pro 17 I’ve been searching for a way to keyframe the audio event volume. Notice: not the track, but the event. With the track this is easily done with keyframes on the audio volume envelope. When I reshuffle the events I want the keyframed audio volume to stay with the video. Not even the volume fx is keyframeable.
    Has anyone any suggestions?

    Yes.

    “Notice: not the track, but the event. With the track this is easily done with keyframes on the audio volume envelope. When I reshuffle the events I want the keyframed audio volume to stay with the video.”

    You DO need to insert a TRACK Envelope; add your adjustments points AND then Lock Envelop to Event and shuffle away :

    You’ll find all your Event Adjustments are “glued” to the Event. Works a treat!

    Thanks Graham, just what I hoped for. There’s only one thing: “shuffle” doesn’t work. Mind you I get the job done now because of you; there are more ways to Rome, bust ‘shuffle’ , as in rightclick and hold and move the event on top of another event > and then choose “Shuffle events” doesn’t work with the audio keyframes.
    But it works with just moving so it can be done. Thanks for your great help.

    AH, righto – you’re using the actual SHUFFLE Tool. Hmmm.. interesting.

    I’m glad I saw this. If you do lots of sound Foley work on silent old film you need this ability to slip things around without losing the small volume and pan changes.

    This is almost totally automatic in PPro and seems somewhat an after thought in Vegas – ie. slipping sound clips around and over each other with retention of the volume envelops. . But since I will never use PPro again (after 25 years) I guess I’ll just do it this new way. Some of the things in Vegas (16-Pro) are better than PPro and with no yearly “ransom” fees to endlessly pay. 🙂
