    I want to know who ducks audio AFTER they edit scenes? I mean, I duck it as I edit. I can’t edit with music up full the whole time

    [Shane Ross] “I want to know who ducks audio AFTER they edit scenes?”

    Good point, and this new feature doesn’t automatically do it as you edit. But you could just set your audio a little lower than normal for your first pass rather than duck as you go, then run Audio Ducking and it will generate all the keyframes you need. After that you just go through and adjust to taste. I’ve been playing with it a bit today, and it’s a neat little feature.

    I know huh? Been messing with it a little and it’s pretty cool, but I’m sticking with iMovie! Ducking on the fly baby! lol

    I played with it during the beta. And it was cool, but I still didn’t see the point. I don’t know people who edit like that. I guess there are some that cut scenes, then drop in music and THEN duck it. Dunno

    I’ll usually edit a scene w/o music first (assuming a specific track hasn’t been picked out yet), then drop the music in at a ‘medium’ volume so I can hear it while still being able to understand the dialog, then adjust timing where needed, then bring the music up and duck it. I hate having to adjust the ducks if I’m still solidifying the cut so ducking is last for me.

    Why do I feel like some of y’all are two clicks away from needing your accounts moderated or something? LOL
