Audio Mixer – on strike!
I am working on a 60 min HDV broadcast project and am just completing a second finecut. All has been going pretty well until today when for some reason I can’t figure out the audio mixer has ceased to work. I can see all the track keyframes and the audio mixer allows me to select write or touch on each of the tracks. When I run I can mix the track volumes as usual but when I stop I discover that the new track settings are not recorded. Am am mystified. Any clues? I have 6 audio tracks. It would also be great if there was any way to delete all keyframes on a track so that I could start from a blank sheet. Is there any way to do this?

I have established that the audio mixer does work on an earlier version of this edit. Does that mean the file is corrupted in some way? Is there any way of resetting whatever has got cooked?

Try importing the project into a newly created project with the same exact settings.

I’ve just tried that but I still have the same problem. I have checked by right clicking the fader in the audio mixer window and the tracks are not set to ‘safe during write’.

Just a thought – are your tracks set to show track keyframes, of clip keyframes?

track keyframes

Curiously I can edit individual keyframes by dragging them, I can delete them and I can add new ones by clicking on the button at the left of the track. It just seems to be the write function that is inhibited somehow. If I could at least clear all the keyframes I could go back to using clip rubber bands and get the project out that way. As it is, I seem to be completely screwed.

Does seem troublingly illogical …. not an issue I’ve hit yet. If nobody can think of a setting that could be doing this, maybe Steven is right with the suggestion of project damage?
If you create a new test sequence in the project in question, does that allow you to write track levels successfully ?
On your other query of how to select all track keyframes and delete them – can you not click and drag with the pen tool to enclose your target frames, and then hit delete ?
As a workaround, in case there’s some hidden setting or project damage affecting the tracks you’re working on, could you reroute the tracks you want to remix to a new submix track, and try adjusting the levels in that track?

Of course, you’ve tried a reboot ..?

I have tried creating new tracks but they are also similarly inhibited. There seems to be no way of selecting a group of keyframes. When I try what you suggest, all I succeed in doing is deleting the clip. If I create a new sequence, then I do seem to have control of track volume but I don’t know how that is going to help as I have already tried importing the sequence into a new project. The problem seems to be with the main sequence.

Hmm. Here, I can click and drag with the pen tool, and only audio key frames are then selected (and deleted), though I have to do this one track (not clip) at a time.
If you were to create a new sequence, and the copy and paste into it the entire timeline (perhaps in smaller sections to ease memory load) of the sequence causing trouble, would that work?
