An essential sound's ducking for ambient doesn't make sense. When I increase sensitivity, it works completely differently.

I selected a few clips as ambient, and now I want to use the ducking feature in Premiere Pro. 

And I am talking against dialogue. As you can see, there is a huge pause between dialogue. 

Doubtful in this moment should be boost of audio, but it works only in the moment when sensitivity is high when I lower sensitivity it's works random. The moment when the audio should get quiet , there is no keyframes from ducking and it is creating key frames in random places.

You can see clearly that in video I attached to this post.

The ducking should work like it works in music tab. When there's no dialogue because I'm ducking against dialogue, you should work normal and when dialogue appears audio should get quieter.

    Hello ​@przemysławn94025325 ,

     

    Welcome to the Premiere Forums. We are glad to see you here.

     

    This is strange behavior, indeed. I can see with less sensitivity there is ducking where there shouldn’t be any (the gap between dialog). 

     

    We need a few more details to help us understand the issue. Please see, How do I write a bug report? I know a lot of the information in the link may seem irrelevant to this, but with all of the inner workings under Premiere’s hood, knowing this information can help us identify where a miscommunication may be happening within the software.

     

    Thanks for reaching out. I hope we can help you soon.

    Amy
