Advanced Duck
You can control the volume amount, the curve type and the lead in and lead out
times. Use the drop-down list to assign one of your audio tracks as the voice track
and another as the music track. Note: This will only work when your Voice track is
broken into just the events with audio. If your voice track is one long event, this will
not work. That’s because it does not examine the audio but rather looks for breaks in
the track events. You must break your voiceover track into small sections for this to
work properly.
Duck Music: This turns the Duck Audio function on and off
Voice Track: A drop-down list of all the audio tracks from which you should select
the Voice track. If some or all of your audio tracks are missing from the list, it’s
because you didn’t assign a name to them. Please name your audio tracks in the
scribble strip and try again.
Music Track: A drop-down list of all the audio tracks from which you should select
the Music track. If some or all of your audio tracks are missing from the list, it’s
because you didn’t assign a name to them. Please name your audio tracks in the
scribble strip and try again.
Lead In: The amount of time it takes for the music to go from its present volume
setting to the setting specified by the Volume slider.
Lead Out: The amount of time it takes for the music to go from the setting specified
by the Volume slider back to its previous volume setting.
Curves: Determines the curve used by the lead in and lead out individually. It can
be set to: Linear, Fast, Slow, Smooth, Sharp, None (the None setting is the
equivalent of the Hold setting in Vegas Pro).
Volume: This slider determines the amount the volume will be lowered or raised. It
has a shortcut menu that you can get to with a right-click to access the settings.
