Moving multiple audio keyframes

ok.. This is strange... This should be a no brainer.
I have a range of audio keyframes, due to t a change in the edit, I now need to move a range of keyframes earlier in time.
now it looks like I can select the range... however, I can't seem to do anything with it.
I can't.. ahem.. 'EDIT' them....
any ideas ?
The attached images show the position after I manually move them one by frakkin one...

AFAIK, there is no way to do what you want (which is perfectly reasonable, BTW). At least it's not in the FCPX documentation or something I've been able to discover by using every combination of modifier keys I could think of. One at a time seems to be the current limitation.
If anyone knows something different, hopefully they'll chime in.

Moving multiple audio keyframes within a clip...but not all of them

I have a highlight video with an underlying music bed where I've dropped the levels when I have someone speaking to the camera.
I had to shorten the video and need to re-align the keyframes for some of the sections of music back up with the audio of the video clips.
I've figured out how to shift all the keyframes together in an audio clip, but I can't find anything on shifting only a certain selection of keyframes within a clip. I'm hoping that there is an easier way to do this than moving each keyframe individually.
'FCP Help' mentions using the Range Selection Tool, but instead of moving keyframes, it cuts out the section of the clip that is selected and moves it.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Moving Multiple Audio Transitions

This is a big one for me. I'm trying to apply and modify audio transitions to multiple tracks at the same time. First off it appears that I cannot move more than one transition at a time. Is this true?
If it is it will slow me down a ton. I'm used to Avid's, where I type in the duration and alignment, the adjust accordingly. I hate using the mouse for this. Is there a way to do it all with the keyboard?

Trouble with Premiere timeline moving up and down multiple audio tracks.

I have a project that has multiple audio tracks, aver 40. Only a portion of them are visible even when I use the new side scroll, I don't know the official name but the scroll on the side that Increases or decrease the size of the track so you can see the waveform. Even when I hide the video tracks and the other preview panels I still can't see all my audio tracks. How do I scroll up and down so I can see the tracks that I want to work on. You know, like in every other program I have ever used.

I feel like there's a bit of egg on my face. Rereading your message and messing with the horizontal bar I realized for both horizontal and vertical bars I grab in the center and drag left or right, up or down. There's a short cut for scrolling up and down your timeline tracks, hold down ctrl/cmd and then use the scroll wheel on your mouse, and that's what I was doing for my project last night. Ah growing pains of learning a new workspace.

Audio keyframes moving with keyboard shortcuts?

hi guys,
i want to move 4 Audio Keyframes together with the keyboard! any ideas?
Find nothing here..
Thanks

The only method I know of to move a keyframe is with the mouse.

CS5.5 & various audio & keyframe & modifier issues

Hey all,
Can anyone confirm these problems? Some of this stuff went from working perfect in CS5 and seeming to be way bugged in CS5.5, for me.
- first, moving keyframes around with the CTRL modifier is bugged.. instead of moving around slower than normal, it bugs out and moves around randomly and can only be increased. If I try to move a keyframe down with CTRL pressed, it the keyframe moves up instead.
- something serious is wrong with submixes. At times it forgets what I did and appears to undo itself without me noticing. When I was working a couple nights ago, I had to redo the same spot of audio keyframing a certain part of a submix like 5 times. I'd fix it, playback okay good. Move on and keep working, and later when I go to playback, that part was screwed up again and I'd have to build it again. | Next, it likes to just make a bunch of keyframes on it's own at times, adding a bunch of points at random levels and times. I could often just undo them, but it's still doing something crazy and all by itself. | Last, complicating both of these issues, the redraw isn't refreshing properly.. a lot of the time when I noticed the two above issues by playing back, everything looked fine in the timeline, and then zooming or scrubbing over the area, the submix track draws itself and updates what's really there.
- this one's carried over from CS5--certain audio filters, like Denoise, seem to randomly bug out if a project gets too complicated. Sometimes during playback, sometimes even during export--and random, not repeatable or predictable--what happens is the volume suddenly goes really low on the track with the filter almost dissappearing. Simply stopping and playing it again (or exporting it again) works, however quite annoying & killer when an export is screwed up due to the bug.
- Similarly, sometimes whole tracks or clips dissappear when playing back. I've never noticed the problem on export, but on a fairly simple commercial project I'm doing, often on playback the music dissappears or doesn't playback at all. I have the music split into several parts, because I did some fades to adjust how long it is. When it hits the next 'clip' of the song, it comes plays that back fine. Again, stopping, resetting the time indicator, and playing back again almost always solves the issue.. kinda of to get it to "catch"/have the magic touch when you playback.. no specific action or behaviour is causing the problem.
Thanks.. let me know if anyone has some suggestions or ideas, will submit to bug report as needed. I can say the last 2 have been issues for a long time and I've seen them over multiple systems and installations; however I can't say the same for first two, which are CS5.5 introduced.

Can't adjust audio keyframes for certain sequences?!

I have a Sequence that I used Pluraleyes on (syncs multiple cameras automatically) but to do this, you're reuired to export a FCP .xml, import it in Pluraleyes, run the sync, which it exports a new FCP .xml, which you have to import back into Premiere... but now I've lost the ability to adjust ANY Audio keyframes! The Keyframe switch on the left of the timeline just stay greyed ouy for all my video clips!
I've created new sequences and dropped the same video into those, and it works fine...
Does anyone know why, and how to fix it?
Thanks all!
Aza

Nevermind, figured it out... Pluraleyes was somehow splitting the stereo audio into two mono tracks upon import into premiere, and I guess this confused Premiere...
Not sure if this is a Premiere .xml import bug, or a Pluraleyes bug...

Working with multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
Thanks,
Thien

One way:
Lock the video track.
Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.

Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

Can you move audio keyframes?

Hello,
I've got a question here. I've got a nice little cut on my TL. Video on V1, sync-sound on A1, and stereo-tracks with music on A2+3. In a certain area on the stereo tracks, I used audio keyframes to lower the volume so that you can understand the speaker on A1. Now the client wants a different section of the music to underneath the video. Which is easy enough, simply slip the audio tracks A2+3. However, now the audio keyframes have moved, too.
Now, of course I could simply create new audio keyframes where I need them and delete the old ones. But is there an easier way, can I select a group of audio keyframes and slide them? The way you can with filter keyframes when you toggle on the clip keyframes in the TL?
Hope I'm being clear here, if not let me know and I'll have another cuppa and get back to you!
Cheers,
Colin

you're right, the video filter keyframe method won't work for moving audio keyframes
only way I can think of is to copy and paste the "Levels" attribute ...
use the razor blade tool to put a cut at the first existing keyframe and then another cut at the point where you want to transfer them. then "copy" the clip with the existing keyframes and paste attributes to the clip where you wnat them to go .... be sure to select only Audio Attributes > Levels and also be sure to turn off "Scale Attribute Times"
you'll still have to go back and clear the original keyframes f, but you'd have to do that anyway.

Weird new bug in CC2014? Audio in sync, but audio keyframes too early???

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem with PP CC2014. I just edited a wedding video clip with music and vows. The music and voices match the picture perfectly upon export, but the audio keyframes are out of sync by 9-12 frames ahead of when they should kick in. In Premiere, my music keyframes are in the right place to lower the music when someone says something, but upon export, the music fades down and goes back up half a second too soon.
I've never encountered this problem before. I edited 30fps FullHD AVCHD footage from my Panasonic GH4, and 30fps FullHD XDCAM 35bps footage from my Sony EX1, in a 30fps FullHD Sony XDCAM sequence, and used 2 MP3s. Oddly enough, the audio keyframes over the first song from 0-4:24 are fine. The problem only appears over the second song, Eternal Flame by Brand X Music, from 4:25-6:51. I'm exporting in H.264, 10-20kbps 2-pass VBR. The problem is present whether I do a direct export from Premiere, or use AME. I also tested exporting in Quicktime, which doesn't solve the problem. Ditto for MPEG2 DVD.
Any ideas? It seems the only solution for now is for me to move my audio keyframes 10 frames ahead of where they should be in my timeline, which results in nonsense on my Timeline, but correct sync in my exports.

Been up the whole night with the same issue. Never had this with previous versions and clearly noticeably on my edits as I tend to cut on the beats. Counted a 12 frame shift from cut to beat. Oddly the AE comps for my opening and closing titles with their audio embedded in the comps stayed in sync. Couldn't say for the video footage, because I unlinked the audio and deleted it, since I wasn't using it. The problem seems to only be with the soundtrack.
After shifting the audio back and forth and multiple renders I opted to try CBR which you'll be pleased to know killed the bug and I now have perfectly synced renders.

Audio Keyframes not following extract clip Premiere CS6

Greetings,
I am currently immersed in a wedding project that has taken me quite a while to complete. After watching the assembled master edit sequence last night, I decided I would like to shorten(extract) a section of the walk in at the beginning. I have tried to use extract function from the program monitor making sure all of the tracks were targeted and the only problem I am having is that the audio tracks have automation that is not following the extract. I have also tried doing a manual razor cut and removing the unwanted section, then have tried with both the track tool and the move tool. Each time the track volume automation does not follow the cuts. I wonder if I am missing something really obvious here. So to summarize: clips are moving but the tracks( there are several audio tracks with volume automation) are not moving in time to match.
Thanks

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the quick response. You are correct as I have been researching this all morning.I really wish I had discovered this earlier as I have a 2 hour timeline with multiple audio adjustments to several tracks. Some were music replacement from a not so good audio feed, but there is a lot of hand drawn key-framing across a few tracks.
I gotta say that I am surprised that there is not a feature that allows Premiere to have audio track edits to follow edits or a way to tie them to the clips or copy them to the clips. It looks like I either have to live with it or render out another master copy and cut out the unwanted footage.
While I'm here and asking, any suggestions for rendering out a master file from 1080p avchd for archival and re-editing purposes. I am always afraid when I use match sequence settings that I am doing another level of compression..
Your suggestions are very helpful here as always.
Thanks

Audio Keyframes...adding and adjusting

Premiere Pro CC 7.1...how can I add a keyframe to an audio clip on the timeline with a keyboard shortcut? Can I? I search shortcuts and cannot find a way to do this. Gotta use the mouse. How can I adjust multiple keyframes at the same time, across multiple audio tracks? I've tried everything. Can I? Reasoning...I want to dip the audio on multiple sources at once. Start at full volume, and then dip all down under VO, or other soundbite. So far it's VERY cumbersome...keyframe each track separately...adjust each frame separately...and mousing ALL the way.

Editors need to do a LOT of mixing during the edit. I can't have the music up full when people are talking...or a sound effect hit full volume. I need to have the music at full volume for a little bit, but then dip it down when someone starts to talk. Also have the b-roll dip at the same time. Perhaps I have a background sound effect (ambience of some sort) and I need to dip that too. This isn't stuff you leave until the final mix. This is basic editing.
Someone on the Cow suggested that I keyframe and lower the audio on one track, and then copy and paste the keyframes onto the other tracks. That's helpful. And this might just be an issue of me needing to learn how to use the tools Adobe provides. But the fact that Avid, FCP 7, FCX can do this and it's normal and easy and PPRO cannot...well, Avid didn't use to have keyframes. We had to splice the audio and then adjust the volume levels on the mixer and add dissolves. THAT was a pain too.
No worries...just need to go back to that, or doing it one track at a time.

How to edit a multiple audio video clip on Premiere

Hello everybody
Maybe this is a dumb question, I'm sorry if I'm asking what is obvious for you, but I swear I tried to find on the web and on this forum, but I couldn't find anything.
Well, I made a video using a screen capture software called Dxtory, that provides me the ability to record my PC screen, with multiple audio tracks.
Ok, now I have a 15gb avi file. When I open this file in the Media Player Classic, I can play one or both channels. The first channel is the original audio captured from my PC. Every audio generated by my PC is in this track. The second track is my voice, with my commentaries. I have all of this in one single file. They are not splited. It's just one file.
Then when I import into Premiere, the software just recognize the video track and the first audio track. I can't find the second, with my voice.
I know I can split the clip into 3 files (1 video and 2 audios) but it would take longer. I just want to drop the file on Premiere and edit the audio volumes quickly, because when I talk I would like to low the volume of the PC audio.
Now, the question: Is there a way to Premiere recognize both tracks in this single file? How?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm actually surprised that Pr can import this at all--the video is Xvid. Maybe it's some variant that Pr's importers can handle, as Jeff suggested. I dunno--it doesn't play well for me, regardless, and I'm not going to install the Dxtory codec to find out.
Anyway, to the matter at hand: while AVIs can, apparently, contain multiple audio tracks, Pr's importers are limited to a single track. However, Pr has other importers than can handle multiple audio tracks. QuickTime--which is a wholly different process--supports multiple audio tracks, as does MXF (some flavors). However, Xvid in QuickTime (which is feasible) won't import in Pr (at least on a PC), and Xvid won't go into an MXF file at all; that means you'd have to transcode. Personally, this would be my choice--but I found that the original clip played back pretty terribly, so that would be why I'd go that route.
Additionally, you could extract the second audio track to a separate WAV file, import both the AVI and WAV, and then use the Merge Clips feature to marry them together as one pseudo-clip. Not perfect, but it would work. The benefit is that you don't re-encode anything.
So, I've got solutions for both the re-encode/MXF option (my preference) and the AVI/WAV option. Here's proof of the MXF (transcoded video to XDCAMHD422 50Mbps) with four audio channels (stereo must be split to dual mono):
At the end of the day, these (or a variation of them) are your only options. Pr simply won't import multiple audio tracks (even dual mono) in an AVI container. Let me know if you're interested in either of the solutions.

Speeding up the use of Pen Tool in connection with Audio Keyframes

I remember that one of the editing systems that I used to work on (either Premiere, Avid, or DPS) had this nifty little button that automatically generated three audio keyframes with the middle keyframe at -inf dB. It was great for getting rid of mic hits and wireless glitches that weren't during dialouge. Does FCP 4.5 have a similar feature/workaround or am I stuck taking the time to set all three Keyframes and then lowering the middle keyframe (or simply cutting out the segment)? I'm currently cutting with some fitness material and these girls keep hitting the mic with their hair.

Yeah, I've got such a loud music bed going that room tone would be completely inaudible and hence, in my opinion, unnecessary.
I think I may have come across it in Premiere... was it called "notch" or something?
Off Topic, but has Edius gotten any better over the years? I worked with version 1 and 1.5 and though it's realtime capablilities were nice, it felt like a beta edition of the software. It aslo seemed to be lacking in some very basic capabilities that were necessary for any sort of fine control.
