ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 2.0
User Guide
199
If you previously installed a VST-compatible application other than Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro finds
VST effects in the VST folder that already exists. If no other VST-compatible applications are installed, Adobe
Premiere Pro creates a folder called VST in the Program Files folder. Inside the Plug-ins folder of the Adobe Premiere
Pro application folder, there is also a VST folder with plug-ins that are used only by Adobe Premiere Pro.
Note:
When you use a VST effect not provided by Adobe, the specific control layout and results of the plug-in are the
responsibility of the plug-in manufacturer. Adobe Premiere Pro only displays the controls and processes the results.

Automating audio changes
Automating audio changes in the Audio Mixer
You can use automation to apply changes to an audio track’s settings as a sequence plays back. You can automate the
volume, pan, and mute settings of a track or its sends. For track effects, you can automate all effect options, including
the bypass setting.
Automation modes are set in the pop-up menu at the top of each track. For example, with automation set to Latch,
Touch, or Write, drag a track’s volume fader or pan control during playback. When you play back audio with a track’s
automation pop-up menu set to Read, Touch, or Latch, Adobe Premiere Pro plays back the track with the automated
adjustments. As you make adjustments in the Audio Mixer, Adobe Premiere Pro applies your changes by creating
track keyframes in the Timeline panel. Conversely, track keyframes you add or edit in the Timeline panel automate
values (such as fader positions) in the Audio Mixer as the audio plays back.
