Audio keyframe functionality not available on clips that have been copied & pasted from an audio clip that has been remixed using the remix function in Essential Sound

’ve discovered that when I copy and paste a group of clips from an audio clip that has been remixed using the essential sound panel to change the duration of the clip, when I copy & paste the clips from inside the nested clip for the remixed clip into my timeline, the copied & pasted audio clips are missing the audio key frame functionality

In the attached graphic, you can say an example of clips that have been copied and pasted out of the timeline for a remixed clip and put underneath. The clips that have been brought in this way are missing the audio keyframe functionality.

I’ve tried deleting my premiere preferences & rebooting several times, and the functionality hasn’t returned

Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

I'm on Premiere 26.5.2 (build 5), Mac OS 26.6.2, M1 MacBook Pro 64gb RAM. Productions project workflow

PS: is it possible to set up the AAF export of a sequence that has used remixed clips to automatically break down remixed clips into their constituent parts so that I don’t have to do this manually?

Hi @Andrew C. Brinsmead

Good to see you again, but wish it was for happier reasons! Thanks for documenting this. Could you clarify the steps you use to access the clips inside the Remix result before copying them to the main timeline? Do you open the nested sequence, copy from there and paste in the main timeline? It would also help to know what “keyframe functionality is missing” means in your case: is the keyframe line not visible, can you not add keyframes, or do the keyframes appear but not affect the audio?

I’ll email you a new Dropbox link for this issue separately so you can share a short screen recording.

AAF turnover: In my test, the AAF showed the original source file with the Remix represented as an edited audio track. I didn’t need to manually overcut the original audio for turnover in that workflow.

With Breakout to Mono — Enable checked, Premiere renders new mono audio rather than linking to the existing audio. With it unchecked, the AAF links to the original media and preserves its channelization. For rendered audio, you can choose Trim Audio Files or Copy Complete Audio Files, and choose whether to place the audio in a separate folder or embed it in the AAF. Adobe’s AAF export documentation

Unfortunately Nests do require over-cutting them back into the sequence to flatten them so I wouldn’t recommend using Remix on a Nest if you can help it.

Best,
Amy

Thanks @Amy the Stuv! To copy & paste the clips from a remixed I will load the nested remixed audio clip into my source monitor, and then open that sequence in a timeline, and copy the clips from that timeline and paste them onto my edit timeline in my program monitor. This is where I’ve discovered that the audio volume keyframe isn’t available or functioning for those clips that I have copied & pasted from a remixed timeline.

I’ve found the remix function to be a really useful starting point for re-editing production music (a q”quick & dirty” path to getting a starting point) to a desired duration, but I often want to refine that music cut down myself to better suit my edit - to “Mickey mouse” my music cut to the edit (also, I will edit the music at points or in ways that remix can’t or doesn’t think to).

Thanks for your advice about the AAF export procedures (I must admit that I’ve gotten into the habit of unpacking all my remixed music, so I haven’t checked for a while if I still need to)!
