Working with keyframes
After you add keyframes, you can work with them in much the same way as envelope points. For more information, see Composite
level automation (video only) on page 171.
Moving keyframes
Drag a keyframe to a new position below its track.
Duplicating keyframes
Hold Ctrl and drag a keyframe to a new position below its track.
Editing keyframes
1. Double-click a keyframe to open the Surround Panner window.
2. Adjust the panning settings as desired and close the window.
Changing keyframe interpolation curves
To control how the pan is interpolated between keyframes, right-click a keyframe and choose an interpolation curve type from the
shortcut menu. Keyframe interpolation curves control how the pan occurs over time. The keyframe color changes according to the
interpolation curve you have chosen.
Adjusting the Smoothness slider
If you have two or more keyframes, the Smoothness slider at the bottom of the Surround Panner controls the perceived motion of
sound within the sound field among three or more keyframes. When you drag the Smoothness slider to 0, Vegas Pro software
interpolates the changes between keyframes along a linear path. As you increase the smoothness value, the path between
keyframes grows more curved and smooth.
1. Double-click a keyframe. The Surround Panner window appears.
Keyframe Interpolation curve Description
Hold No interpolation takes place. The keyframe’s settings are maintained until the next
keyframe.
Linear Panning is interpolated in a linear path.
Fast Panning is interpolated in a fast logarithmic path.
Slow Panning is interpolated in a slow logarithmic path.
Smooth Panning is interpolated along a smooth, natural curve.
