Audio Keyframing Question
Hey Folks,
I am on the process of learning PP6 and I am coming to it with a FCP and Avid background. I am a bit confused when it comes to keyframing audio. I have a clip that I placed on the timeline and then used the mixer to add track keyframes on to it. Now I want to ripple delete a section of that clip but of course the track keyframes do not ripple. I am assuming I need to add those keyframes as clip keyframes instead. Is there a way to use the mixer to add clip keyframes? Or will the mixer only add track keyframes. I can’t imagine that there would be no way to add clip keyframes on the fly with a mixer slider.
Thanks in advance,

Nope your assumption is correct….
clip keyframes can’t be added via mixer…
The used to be able to be added via the volume slider on the clips effects controls in real time (assuming that you’ve added at least one initially to the clip)
but I’m not sure if that’s still the case. there was some discussion about this during the CS6 beta.
Otherwise it’s the handy dandy pen tool.

Thanks for the response Alex. I am really having a hard time wrapping my head around the audio workflow in Premier. Maybe someone can help me with this. Here’s the situation I am dealing with…
I want to use the mixer to mix audio on the fly which works great until I have to change something on the timeline. Lets say I mix the track with all of my dialogue on it and then the client wants to delete the second shot. If I delete it then all of the track keyframes from that point on are now out of whack. Is there a way to ripple the track keyframes? Do you manually delete the keyframes and then select the rest of the keyframes and slide them? Or is the standard workflow to just ignore the mixer and mix at the clip level with the pen tool?
Thanks,

The audio mixer is for track based mixing/keyframing and not clip based. Adobe expects you to mix your audio with the mixer once your video is locked down. If you want to adjust audio per clip then you have to use the pentool and create clip based keyframes.
