What would be my best option app-wise then?
(I was really just curious about the AE route, but it took a while to get across what I was trying to say)
-
That was my original question – is there a plugin that automatically adjusts the levels on one track based on the levels of another so I don’t have to.
-
Just to be clear, I’m not trying to edit the audio. Just auto-mix the levels so the music track dips slightly when the VO comes in.
-
Oh yes, I use FCP, and the audio and picture is already cut. I just wondered if there was a quick way to do a final audio mix.

These days the rule of thumb is always to shoot your footage clean and flat. Trying to get an effect in camera means you have no latitude in post and your stuck with something that may not be quite right.
So expose correctly on the day, then you could simply use Levels and Hue/Saturation in After Effects for that particular effect.
Otherwise Color has much broader controls for fine tuning a look.

Does that work with CS3 too?
-
Dammit. Such a fundamental shortcut! That sucks. And I hadn’t realize there wasn’t a way to re-map shortcuts within the app until now.

Thanks guys. The 3D flutter in preset with some tweaks is good start.
-
Thanks for taking a look Danny. I’l try Adobe support.
On the side note, do you know why DVD SP doesn’t recognize h.264 clips?

Generally, both! But that clip is PAL.
