Question

Clips got replaced after ungroup

I had to replace a clip in one of the track, so I grouped everything after that clip so they stay in place. But after I ungrouped them, they all became the same track but with the right in and out points. Is there anyway to fix this? I'm using the CC 2019 version

    By ‘replace’ do you mean you relinked the timeline clip to a new file?

    I did see this behaviour when I was trying to figure out a podcast workflow that required ‘replacing’ raw audio recordings from 2 seperate microphones (‘rawA’ & ‘rawB’) with 2 equivalent files that had been balanced & sweetened (‘sweetA‘ & ‘sweetB’).

    Both raw clips were relinked to the same sweetened track (‘SweetA’). I’m used to Premiere Pro/NLE relinking & Audition seems to be different.

    Workaround was to replace the raw files at macOS finder level with the sweetened files (ie keeping the same ‘raw’ name).

    One foible we found was that, having successfully replaced raw dialogue with sweetened & it all sounding good on playback in Audition, our exports had this dialogue only on left channel. 

    Tracked it down to a bug relating to replacing raw mono recordings with ‘stereo’ (dual mono) sweetened files. (Audition defaults to creating stereo timeline tracks & exporting stereo mix downs by default, yet our raw recordings were mono.). Fix there was to ensure that mono recordings always go in mono timeline tracks (which makes sense!)

    Apologies if all that is not relevant to your problem

    Don't quite follow your workflow that went wrong. Are you saying that the In/Out points of the clips on the timeline are still OK but that the audio content has changed? Can you take us through all the steps that you did? Where did the original clip and it's replacement come from audio file wise? Were the other clips all on the same or different Tracks and were they also from the same file as the replaced clip.

    Also not quite clear why you had to Group some of the clips?

    All the clips are from different files. Cause I needed to replace one of the clip with a different duration clip, I grouped everything after it so when I move them, they all move together. After I ungrouped them, they all became the first clip of the group but with their original in and out point I set before.
