Keyframe audio effects in Final Cut Pro
With Final Cut Pro, you can use keyframes to create simple changes to audio over time,
such as fading the volume or an effect in or out in the middle of a clip.
You place keyframes at specific points in a clip to change the parameter value of an audio
enhancement or effect at those points. For example, you can keyframe specific points for
volume or for an effect such as reverb or distortion.
You can set keyframes to adjust a clip’s volume directly in the timeline or the Audio
inspector. To see keyframes in the timeline for all other effects, you need to display the
Audio Animation editor.
For information about using keyframes with video clips, see Add video effect keyframes in
Final Cut Pro.
Add keyframes to a clip
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Select the clip in the timeline, then choose Clip > Show Audio Animation (or press
Control-A).
• Control-click the clip in the timeline and choose Show Audio Animation.
If you’re adding keyframes for volume adjustment only, go to step 4.
Each effect in the Audio Animation editor has a separate area for adding keyframes.
Some effects have more than one parameter and allow you to add keyframes to
individual parameters separately. They appear in the Audio Animation editor with a
triangle next to the effect’s name or in the Audio inspector as additional parameter
controls.
2. In either the Audio Animation editor or the Effects section of the Audio inspector, select
the effect for which you want to add keyframes.
