audio mismach

[Tom Wolsky]

It looks like the audio is expanded. What happens when you do the delete with the audio collapsed?

All the best,

I think I see what is happening:

I believe I had a similar issue, wrote up a bug report to Apple and then realized I had another edit in there. Ate crow.

Expanded audio is very powerful and flexible, and can be confusing too.

To Tom: The exact same thing happens only you are hearing it not seeing it (made it very confusing when this first occurred with collapsed audio:)

To Tim, you are exactly right in terms of what’s happening occurring with the audio (thanks for the illustration).

I was actually wondering if anyone had found a specific bug causing this that can be worked around. Its happened to me on expanded and collapsed audio, using the blade tool or through deleting a selected range.

Oddest thing is that there seems to be no pattern to the problem, one cut it happens the next 14 it doesn’t, the following 9 it does and so on.

Sounds from you Tim like this may just be some random cases of deus ex machina. I’ll just keep reporting it, maybe the next update there will be a fix.

Thanks for the help all, much obliged.

Is this synced media with separate sound originally?

All the best,

No actually, the sound wasn’t synced with the audio from a separate source. Although I’m isolating certain tracks obviously (1 or 2 channels out of 4 active) but its all the same source file(s).

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron “Its happened to me on expanded and collapsed audio, using the blade tool or through deleting a selected range”

I can see how both using a blade tool and deleting a selected range could do this, especially if you have expanded the audio on any of the clips you are removing. So I don’t know if this is actually a bug. Are you saying that you are not doing any L or J cuts and this is still happening?

Exactly, Im not trying to make j & l cuts, they simply occur and leave overlapping audio. With either the blade tool or the range selection tool. And like i said there is no rhyme or reason as to when it happens.

One cut I’ll make with a blade on collapsed audio and get this result. The next I delete a range with expanded audio and get the same result.

Three cuts later I can do the exact same process to make a cut and the audio cuts normally. Sill cant find a reason.

Thaks,

Sounds like a bug, a very odd one. Trash your prefs again just to see if it resolves it. I’ll keep my eyes out for it.
