Back again, it seems that while things are running smoother, it’s still turning the audio tracks into fade in/outs when I split the corresponding video above it. Auto ripple is still turned off, and I haven’t turned it on since fixing it.
Also, is there a way to turn off the pink “out-of-sync” feature entirely? When I delete only a portion of the sound from a video it claims that the entire clip is now “out-of-sync”. This is bothering me because I used to do this all the time with no trouble.. Now I am spending twice as long editing because I have to right click and sync all of the annoying pink events.
It doesn’t seem to be locking clips together anymore so I can drag them freely back and forth, and I can now delete the sound without deleting the clip too. So I have made some progress at least.
