between the In and Out points.
t Select both options to avoid overwriting any existing transition effects.

In most cases, you can select Add and Render for immediate real-time playback of the audio
effect (rendering of audio dissolves is usually instantaneous).
The effect is completed.
To apply a dip in audio:
1. Play back the section of the sequence where you want to dip the audio to determine the start
point for the dip, and apply an add edit to the audio track.
For information on add edit, see “Working with Add Edits (Match Frames)” on page 723.
2. Repeat the action in step 1 for the end point where the audio dips back up.
3. Move the position indicator to the new segment of audio, and open the Audio Mixer tool.
4. Adjust the track to the volume level you want, as described in the section “Using Clip
Volume and Pan Mode” on page 797.
5. Apply a dissolve to both Add Edit points, using the techniques described in “Fading and
Dipping Audio” on page 830.
Be sure to click the Position menu, and select Centered on Cut or Custom Start.
After rendering, the audio dips smoothly from the higher levels of the adjacent segments of
the track to the lower level applied to the middle segment.
