Premiere 6.5 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide

Using Audio Pan and Fade Controls

When you expand the audio tracks, the fade and pan controls are revealed. Clicking the red fade button displays a red fade control line (Figure 10.10); clicking the blue pan button toggles to the blue pan control line (Figure 10.11). You can fade and pan the audio by altering the position and slope of these lines. You do this by adding a control point, or handle, to the line and dragging it to a new position. The line slopes up or down to represent the fade and pan. Every clip has a handle at its beginning and end, but you can add an unlimited number of handles in between for precise control of the audio.
