Using Audio Key Frames with the Audio Mixer in Final Cut Pro 5

This is C.J. South representing expertvillage.com. In this clip I will finish up talking about the audio mixer. So now to record audio key frames, there is this little audio key frame option up here, in the upper right corner; this little button. You want to make sure that it is depressed. Right now it is depressed, now it is unpressed. What that means as you play and move your meters up and down you will actually create key frames in your time line for the music. Now the source pop up here, you use this pop up menu to choose whether canvas or viewer audio levels are controlled by the audio mixer. So if you want the audio mixer to automatically switch between the canvass and viewer, depending on which window is active, just choose auto which is what you probably will be using most of the time. So now let me go ahead and play this for you so you can see how it key frames out. So I play and it is going, I move these up and down and it is real time recording it and doing it. I stop it. Now you can see down here I've got all these key frames that were added because I was moving it up and down. It is a really nice feature. Every time I move it it adds a key frame.
