cbreemer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Sometimes while editing, the audio in a mp4 accidentally gets unlinked from the video. I don't know why and how that happened, I never clicked on the 'Unlink from video' option and it does not seem to have a keyboard shortcut that I could accidentally have typed. It could be a bug for all I know. It's a pain in the bottom because I don't notice until audio and video get visibly out of sync, and by then it's hard to correct. Is there a way to prevent the audio from being unlinked ? It's something I absolutely never want to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Perhaps you inadvertently clicked the link button on the clip thumbnail. It's on the right here... To undo mistakes, step-by-step, press <ctrl-Z> or EDIT | UNDO from the menu bar. Save Project File AS routinely, giving it a unique # or name, so as not to overwrite prior saves. Using Save Project Files (no AS) will overwrite. From the HOME tab, that choice is available by clicking the chevron to the right of the Save Project button on the toolbar. Then you're protected, and can revert if need be. About the only way that comes to mind to prevent accidental unlinking is to lock the track, but that also prevents editing.

cbreemer Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thanks for your reply. Yes, it seems I must have clicked that button, which I had never paid any attention to. Now I know to stay clear of it, and this problem won't likely happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
