Media composer 5 uses a combination of several tools to apply audio level keyframes, display current master volume, and add
audio effects.
each track shown in the Audio Mixer has the following modes:
track: Adjusts overall level for the whole track.
•
clip: Adjusts overall level for the current clip.
•
off: Makes no new changes to audio level, though the mixer will still display audio level for the
•
track.
latch: this is the way the Media composer audio mixer records audio level keyframes. if audio
•
level keyframes exist, the fader will animate, following them. When you take control of the fader,
new replacement keyframes are added. When you release the fader, it stays where you leave it,
overwriting existing keyframes with the new level until you stop playback.
touch: Follows existing audio keyframes just like latch mode. However, when you release the fader
•
after applying an adjustment, it will go back to following existing keyframes, rather than overwriting
them.
Write: Does not follow existing keyframes at all. With this mode you can set the fader before you
•
begin and when you press record, existing keyframes will be ignored and overwritten.
eDiUS even allows you to set a new Master output volume to make last minute adjustments to overall output level.
Adding Audio filters
Audio filters are applied and adjusted like any other effects in eDiUS—find the effect you want in the effect palette and drag-and-
drop to apply it. Always be sure to drop the effect onto the Audio part of the clip segment or it won’t be applied.
eDiUS 6 has an Audio Mixer that is very similar to
the equivalent in Media composer, accessed by
clicking on the View menu and choosing Audio Mixer
or by clicking on its button at the top of the timeline.
While most of the options will be familiar to you, unless you also
use an audio editing system, you may not be familiar with the
latch/touch/Write modes the eDiUS audio mixer includes for the
live creation of audio rubber banding—audio keyframes.
