Audio Keyframes bezier handles being automatically changed for the worse

Hi, Couldn't find anything on this in the forums or elswhere so I'm pretty sure I need to change a setting somewhere but:

I'm using the pen tool to create keyframes in my music track lower and raise it around the Talking Head bits. I've been using the Ease In an Ease Out presets to create a bezier curve for those changes. However, sometimes when I export or when I reopen the project, many of the bezier handles are changed to the extreme which takes the volume line all the way to the top or all the way to the bottom.  Is this a bug or is it something I can fix in settings or something?

Thanks.

I'm also encountering this issue, so the bug is alive and well in 25.2.3 Build 4 unfortunately.

Same problem here, when closing premiere pro and reopening it, my linear sound become crazy with the ease in and ease out handles making me have to reset it every time. Very frustrating. I have a macbook air m1 2020 and working with adobe premiere 25.2.3.

Keyframes applied to lines like that are picky things, same as say the various curves in the Lumetri panel.

 

The problem is you aren't clicking on the line, but slightly above it, to set the keyframe. Therefore Premiere thinks you want to move the audio up. The first keyframe has to be set exactly by clicking on that line where it is.

I keep having this bug with 25.2.1 build 2.

I want to add keyframes to reduce an audio pop sound/peak and when I add the first keyframe, all of a sudden, all the clip audio goes up. And I can't move the handle of the keyframe. I can't even change the settings of the audio anymore. As a solution, I found that reseting the audio type can work. But imagine doing that for dozens of audio clips. It is really annoying.

yes, the easing curves are subject to this bug, not when the keyframe is linear, at least for me.

I'm still having this issue in 23.6.2. It seems to happen when I use the "ease in" and "ease out" funtion in the right click menu when clicking on a level keyframe, but not consitently. It has cost me no end of time and embarrasment with clients.

I do plan on eventually learning audition, although it is only 2-3 hours of my 15 hours of video editing work per week. Also with our budget at the moment I'd rather use an extra £30 a month on something else rather than deal with issues that should not be occuring in the first place.

If anyone is looking to recreate the issue, simply open up an audio layer keyframe levels and crtl click and add a lot of keyframes across a timeline. Its so commonly breaking that when i went to fix the curves and add some more keyframes my fixes also broke as well.

I get with a live service model and regular updates you gonna have bugs but an easy to recreate major issue like this shouldn't really be occuring 2-3 years later. When I had any major issues with After Effects and Photoshop for work in the past you could usually just revert back a few versions.

First thing I would try with any heavy audio work ... is 'send to Adobe Audition'. That's an app built from the ground up for audio work, and to me is much better and faster for this sort of thing.

I just wanted bump this issue and request a fix or answer aswell, I'm newer to using Premiere and this is becoming a bit of nightmare for me as I'm editing Audio levels for weekly videos on a tight schedule which are an hour long and autosaves are useless. My audio levels were fine  then when i close and re-open the files or any autosaves i get this


If this is on unfixed ongoing issue I might have to stop using Adobe Premiere as I don't have the fund to pay for audition as well just to edit an hour of audio every week at the moment.
