Mixing Audio
4 Position the pointer over the pan handle you want to adjust, so that the pointer changes
into a pointing finger with blue arrows. Drag a pan handle up to pan left, or down to pan
right. If the pan handle is very close to a red fade handle, it may be difficult to select and drag,
so press Alt/Option to drag only the pan handle.
Note: When panning, always make sure you're adjusting the blue pan control and not the red
fader control.
To pan a clip in one-percent increments:
1 Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you position the pointer over the fade handle
you want to adjust, so that the pointer changes into a pointing finger with blue arrows.
2 As you continue to press Alt/Option, press and hold the Shift key so that the pointer changes
into the pan adjustment tool icon ( ), and drag the pan handle. A numeric display appears
over the audio track to indicate the current pan level as you drag. As long as you hold the Shift
key, you can drag beyond the top and bottom of the audio track, if necessary. The larger drag
area lets you pan in one-percent increments to the left or right with the center at 0%; the exact
value appears in the numeric display.
Note: If you press and hold Shift after you start dragging, the pointer will continue to appears
as a pointing hand with red handles.
Premiere can cyclically pan a monophonic audio clip over the duration of a clip by using
the Auto Pan audio filter. See the topic "Auto Pan" in online Help.
