Hector-
Thanks for your reply and referencing the audio mixer. Since you mentioned it, I decided to learn about it. I understand how it could be useful, but (correct me if I’m wrong) when an adjustment is made a keyframe is made. Yes?
Usually I need to hear the clip a few times to adjust the audio. If a keyframe is made every time I type an audio adjustment, or adjust a fader control, I could have 5 keyframes of various audio volumes w/in a 5 second clip before I feel I’ve dialed in the correct volume.
I’m probably expecting too much of Premiere. I mainly use Avid and occasionally FCP at work. I inadvertently obtained Premiere through buying the Production Studio Bundle and decided to assemble some home video. Frankly, I had no idea Premiere was as lacking as it is. I’m have the same audio sync issues as well as audio cutting in and out that others are having. This effectively renders Premiere useless.
Anyway, I just thought I might not have found that certain workflow that would prevent keyframes from being written every time I adjusted audio using the keyboard. I’ll just expand the timeline vertically real big and use the mouse.
