3. Creating Automation
11. On the Primary track, write your volume automation. This is going to reflect how the Primary
Audio is attenuated when the Secondary Audio playback is enabled. (If you will be using Dialog
Normalization on your DTS Encodes, please refer to the Appendix, Section B, Dial Norm Note)
When creating your automation points on the Primary track, note the following:
a. Automation should begin and end with a 0dBFS point/node within the Secondary Audio
region boundaries (Drawn on the Primary Track)
b. Automation data will be thinned to a resolution of approximately 2 SMPTE frames.
c. If a volume fade greater than 10dB is necessary, DTS recommends the fade to gradually
take place over the minimum duration of a second.
d. ALL volume automation points/nodes must reside on the single Primary Audio region
track and must occur within the time span of the Secondary Audio region boundaries.
e. Any automation value above 0dB will reduced to 0dB upon Encode
f. The supported range of volume automation on the Primary Track is from 0 to -60dB, INF
(negative infinity). Volumes below -60dB will be treated as INF upon encode
12. Unless you are using dynamic panning, the Secondary Audio levels should be at 0dB with no
automation. If Secondary Audio level adjustment is necessary, it must be made in the PCM
domain.
a. If you are using dynamic panning, write your Secondary Audio volume automation to
reflect where and at what level the mono Secondary Audio will be heard. The same
points as stated in Section 11 “a” through “f” apply.
13. Play back both Primary and Secondary audio to verify and QC mixing levels.
14. To begin the AAF export process, click on the name of the Primary Audio track to select it.
