Adjust volume in the Timeline panel

You can adjust the volume level of a whole clip or track, or have the volume change over time using the rubberband in an audio track of the Timeline panel.

  1. Expand the audio track’s view by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name.
  2. In the audio track header, click the Show Keyframes button , and choose one of the following from the pop‑up menu:
    Show Clip Keyframes
    Lets you animate audio effects for a clip, including Volume Level.

    Show Clip Volume
    Lets you change only a clip’s Volume Level.

    Show Track Keyframes
    Lets you animate many audio track effects, including Volume, Mute, and Balance.

    Show Track Volume
    Lets you change only a track’s volume level.

  3. If one of the Keyframes settings is selected, do one of the following:

    • If Show Clip Keyframes is selected, choose Volume > Level from the drop-down menu at the head of the clip in the audio track.

    • If Show Track Keyframes is selected, choose Track > Volume from the drop-down menu at the head of the clip in the audio track.

      Note: Volume adjustment should be enabled by default.
  4. Use either the Selection tool or the Pen tool to move the Volume level rubberband up (increase volume) or down (decrease volume).
    Note: If you want the Volume effect to change over time, place the current-time indicator  at the location for each change, click the Add/Remove Keyframe button  in the audio track header, and drag the keyframe up (louder) or down (quieter).
