Editing Video with connected audio

[tasha]

So I used to use Videopad about 6 years ago and at the time did everything I needed for standard home use and YouTube and had no issues with it.  Just yesterday I decided to start using it again as I was using Shotcut and it was giving me too many bugs and issues.

Today I'm working on a video I started editing last night and I'm having issues with it (almost similar to Shotcut). Leaving the audio that came with a video linked, I just want to go through and delete certain sections out of the video.  Its fine when I remove the beginning of the video, but when I remove bits from the middle, it resets the audio after the split to the very beginning of the original audio clip.  I've tried disconnecting the audio from the video and editing it separately and it does the same thing.

So for example if what I said didn't make sense, let's say I have a 1 minute video.  I want to take out the first 10 seconds.  If I do that, both the audio and video start at the 10 second mark of the original video.  Okay great, now I want to remove 5 seconds from the 45 and 50 second mark.  So in theory, my video should now show out of the original minute, seconds 10 to 45 and 50 to 60.

The thing is, the audio at the 50 second mark will have reset itself to the very beginning.  So if my video starts with me saying "Hello", it now starts from that point at the 50 second mark, instead of the audio that was originally supposed to play with the clip at 50 seconds.

Really hoping this makes sense and I can get some help figuring this out!

The usual method is to split the IN and OUT points, then right-click in the split-out area and Delete. Right-click in the gap and Close Gap.  Or Delete (Ripple) and the gap should close itself.

Works here in the current release.  If it doesn't for you, let's take a look at the project.  This is the best way to track down issues.  The process is easy, quick and can be done privately.  Just follow these steps...

•     Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left.  Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER.  Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
•     Upload ---  Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER.    Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. 
•     Get link --- Get a public link.  If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" 
•     Share ---     Click COPY LINK | DONE.  Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me.  It won't be shared.

          *    Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES.  Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
