Whoops! Audio & Video separated....

[AJL14]

Here's a puzzlement! I've tried everything. Loaded 125 clips onto the timeline, trimmed each one to my liking, and then discovered I've accidentally loaded the Video onto VA1 and the audio went to A1. Have tried everything thing "put them together", before adding transitions - but to no avail. Each time I add a transition the highlighted VA1 track switches to the A1, so I have to switch the highlight back before I can add another transition. Just a pain in the "Ars", but anyone have a solution for putting the tracks back together on the VA1 track? It'll just save me a bunch of time. No catastrophy.
Cheers and thanks,
Alan

You can turn off "sync", leave all the clips where they are VA1 and A1, make sure that your default dissolve transition and cross fade have the same duration, highlight all the clips, drag your dissolve to the VA1 track and dissolve and cross fade will be apply to all clips.

you have accidentally enabled audio mapping, to clear audio mapping, select clear all tracks

then you can drag the audio in its proper place

I have often wondered if this gets "enabled" by dare I say a bug?

not sure, could be

I assumed it is caused by touching the associated keyboard shortcut keys?

There actually was a bug at one point where EDIUS would forget that you told it to clear all tracks, and so a new sequence/project would retain previous lock settings - but I believe it was squashed out in 4.60-4.61..

Anton - didn't work ! !

Hi Anton,

Might suspect what Kenneally said about the bug might be true here - on v4.5. I cleared all tracks - still cannot move audio. Tried many times. Audio can be moved from one A track to another - but not to ANY VA track. Highlighting the audio, also highlights the video with it - so am perplexed. Not a big thing - but certainly time consuming to edit.
Thanks - and any other suggestion will be taken!
Cheers,

Did you read my post? that is the way to add your transitions to all clips in one move, but if you want more work and bring those audio clips back to 1VA then you will have to remove group first (shift+Ctrl+i) then drag them back up.

Thanks Khoi. I definitely did read your post, and understand it well. I was just responding to Anton's post. There's most times many ways to solve problems, so I was just clarifying one of the suggestions that was not working for me. Just in case I didn't fully comprehend.
Cheers and thanks,

if you can't move audio from A tracks up to VA tracks, there can be one more reason

maybe on the left of the VA track the V is turned on, this means it is a pure video track and won't accept audio until you click the V to turn it off
