Adobe PREMIER PRO 7 - Cross-fading or fading out audio

2 Click the Show Keyframes button , and choose Show Clip Volume or Show Track
Volume from the menu that appears.
3 Use the pen tool to adjust the level uniformly (if keyframes have not been added) or to
add or edit keyframes. See “Working with keyframes in the Timeline window” on
page 222.
To specify a uniform gain level for a clip:
1 In the Timeline window, select an audio clip.
2 Choose Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain.
3 Do one of the following, and then click OK:
• Type a Gain value. 0 dB equals the clip’s original gain.
• Click Normalize to have Adobe Premiere Pro optimize gain automatically. Clicking
Normalize changes the displayed value to indicate the amount of gain Adobe Premiere
Pro automatically applies to reach maximum gain without clipping.
If a clip has no volume keyframes set, you can also adjust overall gain for a selected
clip by using the Volume property in the Effect Controls window.
Cross-fading or fading out audio
An audio fade is analogous to a video transition. For a cross-fade, you add an audio
transition between two adjacent audio clips on the same track. The default cross-fade is
Constant Power, which creates a fade that is perceptually linear to the human ear. Also
available is the Constant Gain audio transition, which creates a fade that is mathematically
linear but may not sound linear.
To cross-fade between two audio clips:
1 If necessary, click the triangle to the left of each track name to expand the audio tracks
that you want to cross-fade.
2 Make sure that the two audio clips are adjacent.
3 Do one of the following:
• To add the transition set as the audio default transition in the Effects window, move the
current-time indicator to the edit point between the clips, and choose Sequence > Add
Audio Transition.

the Effects window and drag the audio transition to the Timeline window on the edit
