I'm not sure if this is the right time to be asking this question as it may never get answered.... lost in the flurry of posts surrounding CC 2015 . But here goes:
I've been getting a lot more audio work lately, mostly editing podcasts. I'll do the cutting in Premiere, then export to Audition for the finals. With all the constant fading in-and-out of music, I thought I'd give the Mixer a try. Seemed like it might be faster using the faders than my usual planting of individual keyframes then "rubberbanding" the changes.
Instead I found out that the Mixer leaves hundreds of keyframes in its path (I changed that in the preferences and made it a lot less, but there's still bunches of them). When I mix on the fly, there's always little tweaks I want to make, and making tweaks is difficult because you're not just dealing with one or two keyframes, but often dozens. As a result I end up spending WAY more time by using the mixer than I ever would just keyframing the clips and adjusting them manually.
Curious if anyone out there has ever found a use for the mixer/faders? If so, what's your workflow? How did you make it efficient? Thanks for any insight.
