Did you know that if you forgot to target the Audio Tracks you can override the expected behavior and be able to edit both the Video and the Audio into the Timeline?
Ok, if you edit the clip in by other means; for example when using F9, then the following tip does not work.
You simply clip and drag the clip from the browser and position it where you want to, but instead of letting go when the Video is in the correct spot, you drag the clip vertically down until the mouse moves into the Audio Track section. You let go and then wahlah both the Video and the Audio for the clip are now present in the Timeline.
The benefit is that it will save an unnecessary repeat of the action because the only other option would be to re-edit the clip into Timeline after setting the target tracks.
Basically:
One of the following will happen depending on where the mouse pointer is when you let go after the click and drag:
- Over the Video Tracks: Only the Video is edited into the timeline
- Over the Audio Tracks: The Video and the Audio is edited into the timeline
With No Video Track targeted then one of two things happen depending on where the mouse pointer is when you let go after the click and drag:
- Over the Video Tracks: The Video and Audio is edited into the timeline
- Over the Audio Tracks: Only the Audio is edited into the timeline
With No Video And No Audio track targeted then one of two things happen depending on where the mouse pointer is when you let go after the click and drag:
- Over the Video Tracks: Only the Video is edited into the timeline
- Over the Audio Tracks: Only the Audio is edited into the timeline
