Adjust Multiple Audio Keyframes
I’ve seen a few posts on this topic but haven’t found an answer to one part of this quest, so trying again here.
It appears that there is no way to adjust the overall level of clip volume when there are keyframes present. Some have suggested linking the track to a submix and adjusting there, however this seems inefficient to me if I’m not trying to adjust the entire track but just one clip with many keyframes.
My specific question then is this: I can select multiple keyframes in an audio clip in different ways, one by using the pen tool and dragging to create a marquee window around the keyframes in the timeline. I then have multiple keyframes selected, but I can’t find any way to do anything with them at that point. If Premiere allows me to select multiple keyframes, what can I then do with them? And is one of the things I can do with them adjust them together, which is the original quest?
Many thanks for any help.

Effects>Audio Effects>Volume. Simply add this to a clip and it adds another point of volume adjustment. No reason to be fussing with keyframes if all you want to do us up overall level by a few db; it’s basically non-destructive, no matter if you do it as an effect, keyframe, or submix.

Sure, once they’re selected, click+hold and then you can drag up and down

Ah, I’m always fully prepared to discover something simple that I’ve been stupidly missing.
Lassoing multiple keyframes then click/hold to raise/lower that group… I shoulda seen that one. Thank you, that’s a big part of the solution I’ve been looking for. The only thing I’d seek to improve upon this is to be able to do this very trick to multiple clips at once. I’ve tried, but am I missing a trick for that one too?
The extra volume FX is also an interesting approach, but would that then translate over in an OMF? My workflow is to send and OMF with my mix levels.
Many thanks Angelo!

Oof, I suggest testing it then; that didn’t cross my mind. I wouldn’t be surprised if Volume and Pan/Balance are two audio effects that get some kind of priority in Premiere for that sort of thing, but I could also be wildly off base about it.
