I recently upgraded to PD16, but now when adding a music track, I no longer have the ability to add a keyframe to the sound track, or adjust volume per keyframe with the mouse cursor. Am I missing something here? Please advise. Thanks!

Cyberlink made several major changes in PD16 audio functions. It doesn't work the same as PD15. I'm trying to find a good tutorial on it.

Also look at audio ducking if that is what you are after (relative volume of several audio tracks). .

Hi Ellemieke -

This had me baffled at first, too, until other forum members set me straight.

In PDR16, you need to hold down the Ctrl key to set audio keyframes in the timeline. Screenshot from relevant help file attached.

Cheers - Tony
