Collapse audio won’t re-attach detached a/v in 10.4

[Jeremy Garchow]

Are you in audio lanes mode?

[David Powell]

Hmmm not that I know of. I’ll have to research that. I ended up just recutting things in and being more careful to expand rather than detach.

[David Powell] “In the past, collapsing audio would reattach detached audio.”

You’re mixing two entirely different things here, making it (for me) unclear what you’re actually talking about. Because detaching audio is something entirely different than expanding it. Both of which you’re talking about in the same sentence. One has never been able to simply REATTACH detached audio, other than replacing the clip. And expanding/collapsing hasn’t changed in 10.4.

So you may want to clarify if you in fact DETACHED the audio or not. In which case it would of course be irrelevant whether you were working with lanes or not. But even if you were, the audio still wouldn’t act the same as actual detached audio. So again, at this point it’s not making very much sense for me.

Yes.

Robin explained it, but I wanted to make sure you weren’t in lanes mode.

Detach audio is more ‘destructive’. Expand audio or components simply allows you to work with the audio separate from video. I have never seen the behavior of collapsing clips that will “reattach” the detached audio, although not a bad idea! 🙂
