Sequence preview skipping forward when played

connor

I'm working on an incomplete project with a single long audio clip and video clips placed along the audio--currently with gaps not yet filled in. Since updating to the latest version, when I play the sequence preview for the project, it jumps forward to the beginning of the next video clip I've placed instead of playing from where the cursor is. Has anyone else noticed this happening? Is it a new setting that I can change or disable? Or is it a bug in the new update?

Can't replicate that in this version. Download and install it. If no difference, please share your incomplete project, so it can be analyzed.

The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps...

Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. Right-click the file and click SHARE. If using Google, right-click the file, click SHARE | SHARE. Change "restricted" to "anyone ... can view"
Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared.

* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

Thanks for the quick reply--I downloaded and installed the version you linked, and am still seeing the same behavior. It plays normally at the end of the sequence, but skips over gaps between video clips already placed. I sent you a private message with a link to the uploaded folder for the project backup, per your instructions.

It appears to be a bug in version 16.39. Please use this very recent release. Ignore any virus warnings.

There's never a mandate to update if the version in use is working well for you.

Newer releases can always be test driven. Just retain your registered install file.

Please leave the link to your file active for a few days, so the developers can check it out.

I have reverted to version 16.34 and yep the bug is not in the earlier release. Thank you for the help!

I'll leave the google drive folder active until at least the end of the week, if it will be helpful in fixing this bug 🙂

So, I hate to be a problem, but I'm now having a different bug--v16.34 is telling me that unlinking audio from a video clip is only available in the "Professional" version of the software. Up until now this has been a "basic" feature available in the free version. Was this a bug that was fixed in the more recent version?

The free version has limited features. The standard (pro) is worth a try, but it'll too will restrict features after a brief trial period.

Install either one... But the best solution is to purchase. For now, use 16.34. All releases are available at http://www.oldversiondownload.com/
