Dancin’ Tracks
One of my regular programs is an hour long magazine format type thing. I never know which segments are going to be aired in the current edition, so I pre-edit the segments in their own sequences, and assemble the chosen ones in the final running order after that decision has been made. A standard segment has 5 video and 6 audio tracks. Here’s the deal.
Sometimes, when I load a pre-edit into the source window, the tracks have shifted- instead of acending video tracks V1 V2 V3…they will shift randomly to V1, V4, V3, V5, V2 (example). Same thing for audio tracks. Sometimes it does this little dance, sometimes not. I am not clever enough to spot a pattern as to when it does it and when it doesn’t. It’s not a big deal, as long as I rearrange the tracks into the proper order before I make the insert, all is well.
It has been doing this for years. I just have a long enough render going at the moment to have time to ask if anyone else has seen this, or if I am merely the vistim of digital poltergeists.

Is auto-patching turned on or off?

Don’t know why it does that, just use “special” menu than “restore default patch” and that’ll set you strait
