Can't drag the video or audio of a clip in the Timeline
Do the following:
Examine the linked audio track (if you were dragging video) or linked video track (if you
•
were dragging audio), if present. If the linked track is touching an adjacent track in the
direction you are trying to drag, there is no room to drag the linked track. If you are trying
to perform a split edit or L-cut by dragging an In or Out point, you can override the link for
the track you are trying to move. See "Cross-fading tracks linked to video" on page 223.
Make sure the track or clip is not locked (see "Locking and unlocking tracks" on page 147
•
and "Locking and unlocking clips" on page 165).
A clip added to the Timeline appears on the wrong track or no track
Examine the source Take icons and the target video and audio tracks (see "Specifying source
and target tracks" on page 145). Make sure they are the tracks you want to take and target.
Tracks shift out of sync
Try the following:
If red triangles appear at the In points of linked video and audio clips that are out of sync,
•
click each red triangle and select the timecode that appears. This resynchronizes the video
and audio.
Make sure the source clip is synchronized on its own. Play the source clip in another appli-
•
cation, such as MediaPlayer (Windows) or MoviePlayer (Mac OS).
Play the clip back, and at the point where it goes out of sync, click the stop button. Then click
•
the play button again. If the audio is in sync when it starts playing again, the data rate might
be too high for the computer (see "Setting the data rate" on page 300) or the setting for audio
interleave may be incorrect. See "Specifying project settings" on page 58.
