I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to this. I have a short 30 second clip that consists of an audio track totally unrelated to the audio on any of the video tracks - just a piece of industrial music. I also have one track made up of maybe 20 4-second clips. These came from 4 or 6 captured tapes, each an hour long. I brought the capture file in, copied a few seconds of video to another track, and continued down the cap. files in this manner. But my working project is just one track of video, silent, and one track of music, the whole thing about 30 seconds.

My problem - whenever I try to open this project it insists on rebuilding the audio peaks for ALL the source tapes I used and deleted. This takes waaay longer than even rendering the file! I tried cleaning the media from the project, that didn't help. I tried removing the source tape from the media pool, and that deleted the clip from the project.

<edit> I know it's something I'm doing wrong, but I can't see what it is. Any ideas on this?

thanks,
David
