Liquid Edition displays the volume level as a thin blue line that runs the length of the clip. When you adjust the audio level, this line moves up and down to reflect these changes.
However, by default, this graphical representation of the volume is not shown, and without this, you might have trouble visualizing exactly what you are doing.
A small blue line appears near the top of all video and audio clips (Figure 7.13 ).
KeyframesEach time you adjust the audio levels, a number of small blue diamonds appear (Figure 7.14 ). Figure 7.14. The small blue diamonds indicate keyframes.These diamond marks are called keyframes and are part of the magic behind the NLE system. A keyframe does pretty much what it says on the box: It creates a key point around which certain actions occur. With audio editing, keyframes are created every time you make an adjustment to the audio levels. In Chapters 8 and 9. |
