I am editing a showreel with source material that already has its original audio track. My record timeline already has a music track that I edit to. How do I insert only the video from the source material and not overwrite my audio track? Where is the magic button?
If I have no use for the audio on my source material. I delete it. You can cclear it alll out in one button push (so to speak) if it is all in one reel or folder.
i click the box on the left hand side of the audio track so it disconnects from the box labelled A1 etc. Then you can use the O key to overwrite just the audio…BUT this will not work if you drag and drop the clip onto the timeline
You know there are easier ways to export with alpha nowadays?
I haven’t used the matte container since 2 years. But indeed the Tools tab, will sometimes still come in handy. recently used it for pulldown, and to copy sound to clips/versions.
And on a side note: If you want to keep the source audio but not overwrite the one thats in the record timeline just drag the clip above the video layer to create a new video and audio track.
