Sound disappears when resequencing clips

Toadstool

Sometimes when I change the order of clips in a sequence, the audio track disappears. The vid track moves to its new slot but minus the sound track. What can I do about this?

Is the audio clip is separated(unlinked or from a different file) from the video clip?

Try select both clips (hold down Ctrl and click on the clips) and then drag and move them together.

Note that when you move a clip by dragging it along the Video track, BOTH THE CLIP AS WELL AS ITS SOUND TRACK will highlight (turn blue).

If you have unlinked them then only the selected track will highlight and it will only be THAT track which will move.

If you have inadvertently unlinked them, right click one of the clips (the video or the sound) and you should see the option to restore the linkage. You will be able to do this even if you have already moved the clip. Click on and close any gaps this produces.

Check also that the clip audio (if unlinked) has not found its way to a lower Audio track as it may not be visible.....preview the "gap" and see if the sound is there.

The Audio track should NOT disappear unless you unlink and specifically delete it

Thanks. I hadn't unlinked them, not deliberately anyway. Just tried right-clicking on the vid file & got the option to "restore link" - which has worked: the sound came back.
