Intro to audio in Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro has many features designed to make processing and editing audio easier.
For example, you can analyze and automatically enhance audio to address problems such
as noise or hum, add effects to your clips, sync video and audio clips automatically, and
match audio between two clips.
You can make the following changes to clips or to audio components within a clip:
• Edit multiple audio channels: Expand the audio portion of clips to reveal and edit audio
components down to the individual channel level. This allows you to apply different
effects to different components or channels, and streamlines the process for making
quick sound cutouts or other adjustments. See
Intro to audio editing in Final Cut Pro.
• Adjust volume: Quickly adjust a clip’s volume directly in the timeline or in the Audio
inspector. See
Adjust volume in Final Cut Pro.
• Pan audio: Take advantage of built-in pan presets for both stereo and surround sound.
See
Pan audio in Final Cut Pro.
• Add audio effects: Add Audio Units effects, Logic Effects, or custom effects included
with Final Cut Pro, such as reverb, to clips. See Add audio effects in Final Cut Pro.
• Add keyframes to automate volume and effects: Use keyframes to vary volume or effect
settings as a clip plays. See
Keyframe audio effects in Final Cut Pro.
• Fade audio in or out: Fade audio in at the beginning or out at the end of a clip or
an audio component with easy-to-use fade handles. See Fade audio in and out in
Final Cut Pro.
