  • Nested sequence audio gets out of sync

    Posted by Gabzooks on May 12, 2005 at 5:23 pm

    Sequence A–original/individual sequence.
    Sequence AB–original sequence nested within sequence B
    I’ve noticed that my audio sometimes gets out of sync in my sequence (AB) that is nested into my master sequence (B), but when I open the original (A) sequence itself the audio is fine.
    Is this the case:
    If you’ve nested a sequence (AB) and then edit that sequence in the original (A), it makes the audio out of sync for the nested one (AB)?
    It’s not the whole sequence either, it’s at a certain point [in AB] (maybe recently edited point [in A]) in the sequence that it gets out of sync.
    Any diagnosis?

    When Audio Animals Attack….

    ALWAYS do an audio mixdown.

    Sorry to be so ignorant, but…
    What is an audio mixdown?
    Why is it necessary?
    How do you do it?

    Thanks.

    Just try it, then let us know if it worked. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt anything.

    My original post wasn’t to find a solution now for my current sequence, it was to find out why this happened in the first place and see if I forgot a step or something.
    Because now the simple solution (which I’d rather not do each time I edit the original A sequence) was to delete the nested sequence and pull it back into (re-nest) my master sequence. That fixes it.
    I really just want to know what I can do to avoid this step (if in fact the problem is caused when I edit/change something in the original sequence).
    All of that to say: I don’t currently have a problem that I can do an audio mixdown to to see if that works.
    But I might try to re-generate the problem scenario and try an audio mixdown.
