  • Can’t manipulate audio separately.

    Posted by Vincent Strader on January 15, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    I just captured some video. Usually I can mess with the audio levels on the time line seperately when it’s captured video.

    The only times both red lines on the audio time line move in synch with one another are when I import a song, but it’s never happened with video I capture.

    Now it’s happening with the video I capture.

    I’ll press N just in case but the audio will still not be manipulated separately.

    Then when I try to lock one of the tracks, the audio track (either one) will not let me grab on to the red line to manipulate the levels.

    Any suggestions or bonks on the head would be appreciated

    what happens when you click the link button to unlink audio and double click the audio tracks, do they go into the viewer?

    SHIFT+L toggles linked selection in the timeline. You can do this to manipulate just one piece of a linked clip (audio seperately to video, or vice versa). You can toggle this option on or off “on the fly” by holding down the option key when you select something in the timeline (I find it to be faster this way).

    Also, you can unlink parts of the clip entirely by clicking the linked selection and hitting CMD+L. This will unlink clips that are linked and then you will only be able to manipulate these separately. You can always relink the clips using the same method you used to unlink them.
