Track mapping

[COMPLETE VIDEO IMAGE]

Oh boy, if you learn or mapped your keyboard shortcut to your preference, you should be able to edit 20 times faster, and that is no joke.

I have been and am still using Adobe Premiere, while learning a new program and keeping up with my work load. I definitely think the track mapping happens randomly, since this was happening already when I first got the Edius editing system and I didn't use any shortcuts at all. I am familiar with shortcuts in Adobe Premiere and will hopefully become familiar with the Edius ones as well.

If you go to the left of the timeline and look for a tiny capital A; right click on it and select 'clear all tracks', then you will be able to place your audio wherever you desire. In spite of what it sounds like, it will not delete any clips that you currently have on the timeline.

This is why I said keyboard shortcut will help speedup your editing, you have to hover your mouse over to the tyni capital A then right mouse click then select clear all tracks, if you know your shortcut, just press 9 and it will clear all tracks.

I've just spent half an hour dropping and clearing and redropping about 80 clips onto various VA tracks and they all just go exactly where they are told.

I often change clip audio properties to monaural1 or 2, maybe this is the trigger for the problem, I never touch the mapping keyboard shortcuts

my problem is exactly the same as seen in STORMEDAVE screenshot

I'm curious - to anyone that experiences this issue - have you, or do you make frequent use of the timeline scale keyboard shortcuts?

(e.g. CTRL+1, CTRL+2, CTRL+3 etc.)

I have the +- keys as shortcuts to zooming the timeline in and out and use them a lot but today I watched carefully as I opened a project not yet opened with Edius 5.1c upgrade, it was made with the previous version... and lo and behold without touching a thing the track mapping was wrong, it looked identical to StormDave's screenshot just posted and I never left it this way...

Yes, I had noticed this happen after upgrading whenever I opened one of my previous projects but until now thought it was my fault, now I have an open mind!
