User Manual

 To adjust a keyframe in any direction: Move the pointer over a keyframe so that the
four-way cursor appears, and then click and drag up or down to change the volume,
or side to side to change its timing. The timing of audio keyframes can be adjusted in
subframe increments, for precision mixing.
 To adjust a keyframe in only one direction: Move the pointer over a keyframe so that
the four-way cursor appears, press Shift, and click and drag in the intended direction
of adjustment, either vertically to change the volume of the clip at that frame, or
horizontally to move the keyframe to a different point in time. Once you start dragging a
keyframe into a particular direction, keyframe movement is constrained in that direction
until you release that keyframe. The timing of audio keyframes can be adjusted in
subframe increments, for precision mixing.
 To change one or more Linear keyframe to Ease In or Ease Out: Eased keyframes
create animated changes that begin slowly and accelerate to full speed, or slow
down gradually to decelerate to a stop. This only works when you have two or more
keyframes creating an animated effect. Select one or more keyframes, then right-click
one of the selected keyframes and choose Ease In, Ease Out, or Ease In and Out,
depending on which keyframe you’re editing and the effect you want to create.
 To change one or more eased keyframes to Linear: Select one or more keyframes,
then right-click one of the selected keyframes and choose Linear.
Methods of Cutting, Copying, Pasting, and Deleting keyframes:
 To cut or copy, and paste one or more keyframes: Make a selection of keyframes,
and use the Cut (Command-X) or Copy (Command-C) key shortcuts. Then, move the
playhead to where you want the first of the copied keyframes to start, and press Paste
(Command-V).
 To delete one or more control points from a curve: Select the keyframe(s) you want to
delete and press Backspace.
Audio Fade Handles
When you position the pointer directly over an audio clip, a pair of Audio Fade handles appear
at the In and Out points. Dragging each of these handles towards the center of the clip lets you
fade in the clip volume at the beginning of the clip, and fade out the clip volume at the end
of the clip.
Audio Fade handles at either end of an audio clip
NOTE: When you import a Final Cut Pro X project, the fade handles for each
clip automatically import as well.
