  Saving Audio Setting

  Posted by Steve Cohen on January 29, 2010 at 9:43 pm

  Is there a way to save the audio levels as a favorite, kind of like a Motion Favorites?

  I have a bunch of clips that need to get the same setting all the way across, Basic Motion, Rotation, Distort, Crop, Chroma Key filters and audio levels.

  I can save everything else, but I can’t seem to find a way to make a favorite out of the audio level and pans.

  Thanks;

  Use copy and paste attributes… set up one clip with the levels, pan, filters etc on the audio, then simply copy it, then right click on any number of selected clips in the sequence, and select “paste attributes” from the menu. From there select the attributes you want to copy to all those clips at one time.

  Thanks for the response.

  I know about copy and past attributes, but I wanted to make them more of a favorite setting, so I can assign them to a keyboard short cut or drag and drop the entire folder of setting I want to use onto these clips.

  Thanks again though;

  You can also place them in a folder in the browser, and drag the folder to clips.

  [Steve Cohen] “or drag and drop the entire folder of setting I want to use onto these clips.”

  That is what I said I wanted to do, but I don’t know how to save the audio level and pan settings.

  Thanks;

  Only way to do the audio settings is to use the copy and paste attributes command. Filters, Motion favorites can be put in a folder and dragged, or use the same procedure as the audio does.

  Thanks Jerry;

  That’s what I thought.
  I use copy and paste attributes all the time, but I though there may be something I missed about the audio in terms of favorites, but I guess not.

  Thanks again;
