[. . . ] Adobe Premiere Pro Help Using Help Using Help | Contents | Index Back 1 Using Help About Help Adobe Systems Incorporated provides complete documentation in an Adobe PDF-based help system. This help system includes information on all tools, commands, and features of an application. It is designed for easy on-screen navigation and can also be printed and used as a desktop reference. Additionally, it supports third-party screen-reader applications that run in a Windows environment. Navigating in Help Help opens in an Adobe Acrobat window with the Bookmarks pane open. [. . . ] You can specify whether to view audio units or milliseconds by changing the Display Format option in the Project > Project Settings > General dialog box. The Audio Units option affects the time displays in the Audio Mixer window, Program window, and Timeline window. To display the effects and sends lists, click the triangle to the left of the automation options pop-up menus. To add an effect or send, click any of the triangles on the right side of the effects and sends lists. · Note: If you can't see all of the tracks you have set to display, they may be displayed beyond the edges of the Audio Mixer window. Resize the window or scroll horizontally. To control which tracks are monitored during playback: Click the Solo button for the corresponding tracks. Note: You can also silence a track using the Mute button. However, use the Timeline Speaker icon for controlling which tracks to hear during editing, and reserve the Mute button for automated control. Adjusting gain or volume levels You can set gain or volume levels to make levels more consistent among tracks or clips, or to adjust a track's or clip's audio signal when it is too high or too low. Gain generally refers to the input level, and volume generally refers to the output level. Keep in mind, however, that if the level of an audio clip was set too low when it was digitized, increasing the gain or volume might simply amplify noise. For best results, follow the standard practice of recording or digitizing source audio at the optimum level; this allows you to concentrate on adjusting track levels. You control track levels in the Audio Mixer window or Timeline window. The gain level for a selected clip is available using the Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain command. The output level of a selected clip can be controlled in the Timeline window or in the Effect Controls window. The Gain command is independent of the level setting in the Audio Mixer window and Timeline window, but its value is combined with the track level for the final mix. While the Audio Mixer window is the primary window for controlling track levels, you can also do so using audio track keyframes in the Timeline. Because track keyframes represent mixer automation settings, they affect output only when automation is set to Read, Touch, or Latch. See "Automating audio changes in the Audio Mixer window" on page 190 and "Activating keyframes" on page 246. For more control over levels, use the Dynamics effect. To specify a uniform track output level: In the Audio Mixer window, adjust the track's volume setting. Note: You can use this procedure when automation isn't applied to a track. If levels vary over time because track automation keyframes are already applied, you may be able to adjust the track level uniformly by sending it to a submix and setting the submix level.
