ABSTRACT
This chapter teaches the user how to to adjust the sound levels for the sequence in the Viewer and in the Timeline. When the Clip Overlays are turned on, a thin pink line appears through the middle of the audio portion of the clips. The user can control the audio levels for clips either in the Timeline or in the Viewer. It’s easier and quicker in the Timeline, but the Viewer controls afford a great deal more precision. To adjust the audio levels in the Timeline, the viewer needs to turn on the Clip Overlays button in the lower-left corner of the Timeline window or use the keyboard shortcut Option-W. To eliminate the audio, the viewers can select the audio portion of the clip with the Option key and delete it. Using the Relative setting will change the value of the levels relative to any current settings or fades. This global levels control works not only on audio but also on opacity on a title or on the video portion of a clip.
