I have re-visited a (dot)vf file created a few weeks ago. All is present and correct. However, I've been given another MP4 file with both Video and Audio in sync.
For some reason, when I ( select LH panel ) add Video Track, it doesn't add an Audio track ( this behaviour I've seen before ). SO I select an Audio track and "Add Audio track" . . . .
. . . . I now have unused Audio and Video tracks - as you'd expect.. . . .
Importing new Media I put the Video onto the newly-created track - BUT the audio insists on being on-top-of another audio track. ( Maybe I can understand this as I haven't found how to "Associate" Audio and Video tracks . . . they just do it themselves.
However, if I move the audio to the newly-created track ( which is clear of other media) . . . . it also moves the Video track upwards - so this is no-longer on an unused track. Grr!
Try as I might I cannot get the "new" Video and Audio files to sit on the new tracks I have created - it's like trying to push to N-pole magnets together!
Reading "Help" ( as usual) tells you about the things that are already obvious, Like:- Volume(=Gain), Colour, Name, Pan, etc. . . . these are fairly easy to discern anyway . . .
But why is creating a new Audio + Video track (pair) so difficult?
I cannot imagine using "Insert" ( Screen Top) would be any different . . . surely inserting another PAIR of tracks must be more-useful than anything else ?. . . . although in previous years it's only been Audio that I've added ( So never noticed this omission ).
I have noticed that to add a TEXT track, you have to pretend it's Video - so these can be used for either . . . . but "Audio tracks" can only be used for Audio - I wonder why this is so, since the tracks look the same, with the same/similar Controls ( on LH panel).
So, how do I get the new media (Pair) to behave?
Thanks . . . .
