Audio Gain and Keyframes in FCP7
FCP 7 new feature is the ability to use the audio gain adjustments on one audio keyframe.
I can’t get this option to work. Here’s the excerpt from the user manual:
“Note: When adjusting a keyframe with the Gain Adjust commands, you can position the playhead on a keyframe to change its level, or position the playhead between two keyframes to change the audio level of the segment between the keyframes. When using the Pen tool to add keyframes, you can create highly accurate keyframes located between frame boundaries.”
This doesn’t work for me: whenever I use a gain adjust command, all the keyframes in that clip move up and down, with no regard for the location marker’s position.
Also, the range selection should let you adjust only keyframes within the range, but this doesn’t seem to work for me either.
“To select a range of keyframes to modify
Use the Range Selection tool to select a group of keyframes. You can now move, delete, or change the level of just those keyframes.”Anyone figured out the trick for this new feature?

I don’t have FCP 7, but I’d bet you need to use the auto-select buttons to make this work right.

Auto select on or off makes no difference.

Just found that this feature kind of works with dragging the pink audio level lines up and down, but does NOT work with the Audio Gain commands (control [, control ], etc) or buttons, which the manual suggests should work.
Also, the “what’s new” suggests the Gain Adjust commands (via buttons) should work for this purpose, but in my case they don’t:
“You can now use Audio Gain (Adjust) buttons on a selected audio keyframe or the two keyframes surrounding the playhead.”

There are actually NEW buttons in the button list and keyboard layout. I only had a quick play but it looks it’s working, though I’m not sure I fully understand it yet.

I tried this and it seems to work fine here if I understand what you are asking. Park between two key frames and use the mixer to change the levels or park on a keyframe to change the levels. The keyboard shortcuts (control +and-) raise the clip level.

What I tried were the gain controls from the menu, and the corresponding buttons to those gain controls. Those didn’t seem to work.
I didn’t try the mixer, but thanks for the tip.
