Sequence question

[Nationalsolo]

Hi

 

Could someone verify this please.....

 

Open VP and load a video clips (with audio) to the Video File bin

Load an image to the Image file bin

Load a separate sound clip to the Audio file bin.

Place the image onto the timeline followed by the video clip.

 

 

 

Now click the Sequence tab and add this to the sequence bin.

This clears the timeline.

Open the sequence bin and place the newly created sequence on the empty timeline.

 

 

Where has the Audio track gone to? The audio associated with the video clip plays but cannot be seen as a waveform. Audio Track1 is empty.

 

Now open the Audio file bin and try to add the audio clip by dragging and dropping it. You can only place it on Audio Track 1 (even if you place it using the down arrow options) Furthermore Video track 1 is shortened to accomodate it. This means that if the audio file is a long one, the video clip already present is squashed down to invisibility which, unless you are aware that that has happed it can be a bit puzzling. :-) (Puzzled me for a start! I added quite a long audio file in comparison to the other two so that VP changed the zoom level so low the image clip almost squashed to invisibility as well!) This happens as soon as the audio being dragged gets over the track as even before it is dropped the video clip disappears!

 

 

A shorter Audio file doesn't do this....

 

 

It's only when you have the clip on the (apparently) empty Audio Track 1 that you can drag it down to Audio track 2.

 

 

But the Audio on Audio Track 1 for the Clip still does not appear. Is this a bug??

Duplicated your results here Nat. The original audio (not seen on track one) appears to be embedded in the sequence and is no longer a discrete element.

Hi Borate

 

A bit awkard if you want to refer to it later. :-)

Hi Nat,

 

This is a known issue. Not a bug but more of a limitation. It was intended this way to avoid sequence sound track being edited.
