moving vid and audio to seperate tracks
OK – this is killing me. Say i have a full timeline in vid tack 1 with audio and I want to take a clip from track 1 and movie it to track 2 or 3 over the top of exsisting video in track1. What happens is that the video moves onto the new track but the audio stays on track1’s audio and will replace whatever section i drop it onto.
Surely their is a key to hold down or some setting for this? THe only option i can see is to first move the video above itself, then move the audio to the track i want and then move it all to where it needs to go – a complete pain in the arze.
ANyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

I’m not sure I understand your issue, but if I do, it would be a matter of right clicking on the clip and selecting unlink, so that your audio and video tracks are separated. At this point you’ll have to be careful not to bring your audio our of sync.
You can relink afterwards.

THanks for the replay but no thats not is – sorry i didnt explain it better. Basically to simplify it if you have a clip with audio on video and audio tracks 1 and you click on the video part and move it to video track 2 – only the video moves to a new track, the audio stays on the original track. What i want is for the audio to move to a different track along with the video at the same time exactly like it does if you pull a clip from the bin. From the bin what ever number track you place it on, the audio will go to the same numbered audio track.
Any ideas?

Got it. Well, you can just grab the audio track first and move where you want, and then grab the video file.
I think the reason it’s built this way is that most of us really want to move just the video. An audio track whether it’s above or below an other audio track will sound the same. And if you think about it, having the audio move with the video would really make it more painful than helpful in most cases, overriding previous tracks you wanted to keep, etc… There may be a way to actually have the audio tracks follow the video, but I don’t think there would be much of use for it.
