<p>One of my favorite parts of Final Cut Pro is the ability to select part of a clip and silence it with a single shortcut (which adds 4 keyframes automatically):</p>

# How to silence or mute part of a clip in Adobe Premiere?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-01)

One of my favorite parts of Final Cut Pro is the ability to select part of a clip and silence it with a single shortcut (which adds 4 keyframes automatically):

Is it possible to do this in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2020?

### Answer by username_2 on 2022-03-30. Score: 1

To minimise mousing around:

1. `Cmd` +`K` with the razor
2. `Space` Play to the next point (and stop)
3. `Cmd` + `K` to make the next cut
4. `Cmd` + `up arrow` to select previous clip
5. `Cmd` + `shift` + `E` to mute that region

"Select previous clip" always selects based on the clip that is currently selected (highlighted in white). Sometimes that won't be the clip nearest your playhead. You may have to tap `cmd` + `up arrow` or down arrow a few times to get to your clip.

0. Pick the selection tool (`V`).
1. Right click the audio track: `Show Clip Frames` -> `Volume` -> `Level`. To show the volume bar.
2. Hold `Ctrl` and click twice before the relevant clip part to place two keyframes.
3. Hold `Ctrl` and click twice after it to place another two keyframes.

4. Grab the volume bar between the key frames and pull all the way down.

This seems to be the fastest method without having to cut the clip.
