Today I want to talk to you about key framing and how you can use it in
Filmora to make your audio do exactly what you wanted to do stick around I'll
show you how hit the subscribe button and click the notification bell to be
part of the conversation the audio key framing is a really cool feature in film
or that I don't know if everyone is aware of so I wanted to cover it a bit
today now if you have either a video track with an audio attached or a
separate audio track in your project when you click on these it'll open up
your audio controls in this case I'm clicking on the audio file down in the
audio track but if you click on the video file up in your timeline you'll
have these different tab options video audio color and motion and if you click
on the audio that will let you control the audio track that's attached to your
video file now on the left you'll see this volume meter and at the bottom if
you see there are these little arrows and a dot in the center now some of you
may not have noticed these so far but these are really important features
these are key framing features so wherever your playhead is on your
timeline if you click add a keyframe it'll add
this little dot keyframe right into the audio track that's highlighted here I
have the video track highlighted if I had highlighted the audio track itself
below it and clicked that button that little dot would add a keyframe right
there as well now why this is important is these are just position points that
you've added that allow you to add information to the track at that point
let me scroll out so you can see what I'm talking about if I highlight this
track these little arrows here will allow me to scroll through my keyframe
spots and if you see when I click to the left it brought me right to that
specific keyframe if I move to the right and added another keyframe to this
highlighted video section I could now toggle back and forth between amil turn
gray if you look you can you see them turning gray and the playhead moving
back and forth between them that tells you which ones we're working with now
whenever you add a keyframe and you've got it activated see how it this one is
a little bit more gray that's how you know it's activated and the play heads
on it you now have the ability to control the
volume feature for that track just at that specific point and you can turn it
down see I'm pulling the fader down or you can bring it up and make it louder
pretty cool right now you can also do this in the frame itself you could grab
it see how my mouse cursor turns into a little hand I can actually grab and pull
but a lot of times I like to do it with the fader itself it just makes life a
little bit easier now if you notice if I put my playhead over a certain area and
then just grab the volume it'll insert a keyframe automatically
and allow me to pull it up or down now the reason you need multiple keyframes
let's say I had none I'm gonna go back to the beginning of this section let's
say I move a few seconds in and I highlight this section and I decide to
click and add a keyframe right here see where it added it now the volume is set
at its existing level and once I add a keyframe that says that I'm going to
change the volume level at this point but it's going to affect everything from
the previous point to there in this case the previous point is the start of the
video so if I pulled this down it would bring everything down
there's no previous spot for it to reference so if I want to do something
different like have it fade down I need to put in individual key frames so that
filmora knows stay at a volume and then change at this spot so in this case
let's say I wanted to stay at a certain volume for a certain period of time here
I would add a keyframe but if I just turn that down it doesn't do what I want
cuz it can affect more of the track than I'm expecting if it's this point in the
video that I want to start turning the volume down I would go to another spot
where I want the volume to be lower add another keyframe and then bring the
volume down there see what that does that keeps this volume steady to that
point and then fades from the first keyframe to the second so there's two
different values for each key frame and filmora is making up the difference
between the two now you can also grab these key frames and slide them around
if I want it to be closer like a closer drop or fade but another thing I want
you to see is let's say I just wanted the volume to dip quickly in this
section I would move a little bit past to where I wanted to
back up add another keyframe up here in the left and then I could toggle between
the keyframes using these arrows let me go back one to that middle one see how
that play had jumped now I can grab the volume fader and pull down this middle
keyframe and because I have three keyframes the first one here is telling
it to stay up the second one is telling the volume to dip and the third one that
I didn't touch says the volume should be back up here at that point so it
automatically knows to fade down in the dip back up so having those other
keyframes as reference points allows you to sway that volume up and down along
your timeline and you can add as many as you want and where ever you want them to
be in my case when I was doing my audio I had this other frame here where I
raised my hands up and the volume went up and then when I pulled my hands down
I dropped the volume down you see how the volume keyframes are set to have
this roll-off so when my hands went up and down I rolled the volume off and
pretended like I didn't know what was happening and my hands were controlling
the volume you could see all the different audio keyframes I've added to
this audio underneath me one other little trick that I did in here that
isn't necessarily as obvious is I started moving my hands left to right
and moving the audio from the left channel to the right channel so that
it's swaying back and forth and stereo and the way I accomplished that let me
show you this little trick is I separated these audio tracks and I added
more than one down below and you can add audio tracks up here on the left add
audio track and it'll insert more audio tracks below what I did was I actually
cut the audio into sections and grab them and dropped it down into the track
below which is really simple to do if you grab any audio track left click
on it and hold you can pull it into other places and slide it around and
that's all I did was I sliced the upper audio track here from this main audio
track and then grabbed it down into a lower track now where these overlaps
what I did was I had this fade to the right this track here is centered and as
I move my hands to the right I fade it out and then I started fading back in to
another track down below this tract here if I double left click on it
you'll see the values of it and to make that be an audio track that was just in
the right ear I just left click up on the panning control and pulled it all
the way to the right and hit OK now I had an audio track here that was
centered and I cross-faded between the two so that my centered audio track
started switching over to this audio track that was faded all the way to the
right now if you don't know how to do a crossfade these two sections are
actually split right here all I did was I extended this main track out a little
bit and where that crossed over right here if you click on your main track
you'll see this little white arrow at the end that'll allow you to fade so I
faded out right at that point just from where my new right-side audio started
and my new right-side audio I started fading in by left-clicking dragging and
bringing that back so these two now crossfade into each other and it sounds
like the audio is being switched over to the right if I wanted this to be a
longer crossfade I could have stretched that out and dragged this fade all the
way back so it lined up right with where the other one started below it and then
done the same with the other track while one fades out what is equally being
faded in that creates a crossfade
