Hi Andrew,

Apologies- I was a bit confused. The clips I’m working with were auto-synced and then grouped. I’ve tried cutting in a clip with the camera audio and then the same segment with the external audio, but they both seem to want to go to Audio tracks 1&2 and so overwrite each other. Could this be what the problem is?

Thanks,
Aoife

Hi Andrew,

I tried to autosync and while this will let me change between the audio tracks by right clicking on the audio in the timeline, it doesn’t allow me to bring all four audio tracks onto the timeline simultaneously. Is this a setting problem or are you simply not able to do this with AVID?

Many Thanks,
Aoife

Thanks Andrew! Will have a go at Autosyncing. Is it the same as Grouping clips in that you can toggle between the two?

Thanks,
Aoife

Hi Glenn,

that’s exactly it. It’s an insert from the source clip monitor, using the yellow Splice-in arrow. Not moving the clip about. The organge is the original timeline -the purple/red is the inserted clip.
The purple track is the video track, the red are the two audio tracks. Below and above are more video and audio tracks.

I can’t seem to simulate the problem again – the tracks were all locked though

Thanks again Glenn!

I’m not sure if this visual clip makes it easier to see the issue?

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for your response. It’s probably just the way I’m explaining it. I’m an FCP person, but my editor is an AVID only, so she’s definitely not confusing things with FCP.

All of the tracks are locked together as you described. But the audio in clips after the insert is shifting by however long the audio dissolve is, e.g. dissolve of 100 frames shifts all audio after the insert, on that track 100 frames ahead (AVID gives the -100 warning on the clip).
It doesn’t affect clips on other tracks. If the audio dissolve is taken out and you insert a clip this doesn’t happen. It’s just not convenient to take out all of the dissolves before inserting any material.

Perhaps it’s a bug in Media Composer 4?
