  • Nesting timelines — master timeline splits audio tracks

    Posted by Chris Taylor on September 2, 2010 at 5:27 pm

    Hi all,

    I need to find out why it is that it won’t let me drag a timeline with 7 audio tracks to a master timeline while keeping the tracks consecutive. For example, it will skip tracks 6 and 8 and put them on 7, 9 and 10 instead. I did it effectively before, I don’t why it’s acting up now.

    While on the subject, is there a way to consolidate the master to just a left and right, dual stereo track?

    Sorry sorry, one more thing. The master timeline forces me to render every audio fade. Is there a way to bypass this during playback until I’m finished editing?

    Thanks guys and gals

    – Chris

    1. Load the one timeline in the viewer and check the audio/video patches at left of sequence.

    2. Hmmm – when I put a sequence in the viewer with 12 video and 12 audio tracks, I can patch them all individually, but when I overwrite, it just comes in as 1 video and stereo audio. Must be a setting somewhere.

    3. You can apply more bandwidth to audio effect by changing the number of real time tracks in user prefs. I keep mine at 20 or so.

    I tried with 10 audio tracks and four video tracks, I could drag them all from one sequence into another with no problem. Do you have any tracks locked in the master? If you actually drag the sequence file from the browser into another sequence it appears in the new sequence as a nest would with just two audio tracks. Or, you can make a nest of just your audio tracks and that would bring it down to two tracks if you’re configured for stereo or dual mono.
