ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 207 User Guide This step will show the keyframes you recorded with the Audio Mixer along the yellow change line. You can edit these keyframes like any others in the Timeline. Preserve a track property while recording an audio mix You can preserve the settings of a property while recording an audio mix, preventing a selected property from being edited. It protects that property across all tracks in a sequence. ❖ In the Effects And Sends panel for a track, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) an effect or send and choose Safe During Write from the pop-up menu. Note: Use the Audio Mixer to automate track properties only, not clip properties. You can edit clip keyframes by selecting the clip and using the Effect Controls panel or Timeline panel. Audio Mixer automation modes Automation modes are set in the pop-up menu at the top of each track. For example, drag a track's volume fader or pan control during playback. When you replay the audio with the track's automation pop-up menu set to Read, Touch, or Latch, Adobe Premiere Pro plays back the track with the adjustments you made. As you make adjustments in channels of the Audio Mixer, Adobe Premiere Pro applies the changes to their respective tracks by creating track keyframes in the Timeline panel. Conversely, audio track keyframes you add or edit in the Timeline panel set values (such as fader positions) in the Audio Mixer. For each audio track, the selection in the automation options menu determines the track's automation state during the mixing process: Off Ignores the track's stored settings during playback. Off allows real-time use of Audio Mixer controls without interference from existing keyframes. However, changes to the audio track aren't recorded in Off mode. Read Reads the track's keyframes and uses them to control the track during playback. If a track has no keyframes, adjusting a track option (such as volume) affects the entire track uniformly. If you adjust an option for a track that's set to Read automation, the option returns to its former value (before the current automated changes were recorded) when you stop adjusting it. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time preference. Write Records adjustments you make to any automatable track settings that aren't set to Safe During Write, and creates corresponding track keyframes in the Timeline panel. Write mode writes automation as soon as playback starts without waiting for a setting to change. You can modify this behavior by choosing the Switch To Touch After Write command from the Audio Mixer menu. After playback stops or a playback loop cycle is completed, the Switch To Touch After Write command switches all Write mode tracks to Touch mode. Latch Identical to Write, except that automation doesn't start until you begin adjusting a property. The initial property settings are from the previous adjustment. Touch Identical to Write, except that automation doesn't start until you begin adjusting a property. When you stop adjusting a property, its option settings return to their previous state before the current automated changes were recorded. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time audio preference. Set Automatch Time for Touch mode When you stop adjusting an effect property in Touch mode, the property returns to its initial value. The Automatch Time preference specifies the time for an effect property to return to its initial value. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS). 2 Enter a value for Automatch Time and then click OK.
