• In the Audio inspector: Position the playhead in the timeline at the point where you
want to add a keyframe, then click the Keyframe button (or press Option-K).
After you add a keyframe, the Keyframe button changes to solid white, indicating
that the playhead is currently on this keyframe.
When you move the playhead in the timeline, arrows appear next to the Keyframe
button in the Audio inspector to indicate which side of the playhead has keyframes.
To go to the previous keyframe, click the left arrow or press Option-Semicolon (;). To
go to the next keyframe, click the right arrow or press Option-Apostrophe (’).
5. Add keyframes as needed.
Tip: After you’ve added one keyframe, you can add another automatically by moving
the playhead in the timeline and then adjusting the effect parameter (or the Volume
slider when keyframing volume) in the Audio inspector.
Add keyframes automatically across a selected area
When making volume adjustments to a clip in the timeline, you can use the Range Selection
tool to add keyframes automatically across a selected range.
If an effect appears in the Audio Animation editor with a disclosure button, you can use
either the Select tool or the Range Selection tool to add keyframes across a selected area.
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 3.
2. Select an effect, then click the disclosure button to expand it in the Audio Animation
editor.
