You’ve transcode the clips. They play OK but when you sync them they nolonger play?

Test 1: edit source video clip into its own timeline. Does it play all the way through?
Test 2. edit audio source clip into its own timeline. Does it play all the way through?

If yes to both, it’s only when these two clips are combined into a single timeline and both are playing at the same time that you get no video and only audio?

Yes that is correct Michael when i play the video clip in its own timeline it plays all the way through and when i play the audio clip in its own timeline it also plays all the way through it is only when i combine the two (when the clips are auto synced) that there is no video and only a few seconds of audio once the clips have been autoscyned.

Can you WeTransfer or uoad somewhere a short video and audio clip so people can’t test on their systems?

Then I would open a support case with Avid on this one.

Yes that is correct Pat only a few seconds of the audio plays there is also no image when the clip is played after it has been synced

It sounds to me like the clips are not syncing maybe the common spot,( time code, in point, what ever you used) was incorrect, so the audio is not lining up with the video…so it is playing back a section before or after the video.

As pat said, posting a sample might be the fastest way to make sure we are all on the same page.

That has happened way too many times in Avid for me.
