"Ducking" doesn't work when Audio Track Keyframes is selected

There seems to be no way of auto-generating "ducking" audio track keyframes. I can create clip keyframes ok.

 

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Essentail Sound, assign "Dialogue" and "Music" to a couple of clips on tracks.
2. Set the track containing the music to show Track Keyframes > Volume

3. Click on "Select Clips with Tag: Music" to select the music clip(s)

4. Click on "Generate Keyframes"


Result:

Nothing happens


Expected:

Track Volume keyframes should be generated

    @Baffy19 Thanks, but I know how to use the ducking function. The issue is that it's impossible to apply the keyframes to the track rather than the clip(s).

    I wouldn't have thought it'd be a big leap of coding for PPro, once the keyframes have been auto-generated, to then just apply those exact keyframes to the track rather than the clip.

    It is necessary to select all the clips on a track or tracks of the same character (for example, a dialog), and then go to the Essential Sound panel and make it clear the type of source there. The second step is to select the musical compositions on the track/tracks and determine the source type in Essential Sound. Then just activate the Audio Ducking function.

    Correct. ESP stuff is totally clip based, never track based. I've asked about that and was told that it has to be clip based, as it is totally dependent on what is going on with the pair of clips at that moment.
