Question

Multitrack Edit Audio to Video Session doesn't save work

I've used Audition regularly for work and personal projects for 10 years and am completely confused with this issue I'm having:

I started a session and imported an mp4. I am in the Edit Audio to Video workspace. The top row is video, the first track is the video's audio, and I am trying to record and add commentary on Track 3. I recorded stuff, was editing it and timing it and playing it back and everything worked just as expected. I was saving regularly and Audition was asking if I wanted to update the session file and the individual audio files I was recording on track 3. After a couple hours of work, I saved everything again and took a break. When I returned and opened the session, it looked just like it did before I started all of the recording, editing, and placing of audio on Track 3. The files I recorded were not appearing in the files pane. I imported them and dragged a couple to where I had them in relation to the video in the multitrack session. I saved the project, again it asked if I wanted to update the session and the Track 3 files that I altered, I said yes and closed it down. I immediately reopened it and everything was back to square one.

This has to be a bug, right? Am I crazy for trying to add and save audio to a Edit Audio to Video session?

Haven't come across this one before. however there is a known bug in the latest version (CC 2018 v.11.1.1.3) that can cause problems with the Auto Saving of Audition Sessions. By default Audition sets the Location for Auto Saving files to the Creative Cloud and there seems to be a problem with this. If this is causing your problem try going to Preferences/Auto Save and change the location from Creative Cloud Files to somewhere else. The easiest option is to choose 'Within Session Folder' from the drop down menu.

If this doesn't prove successful then you may need to report it a s a new Bug. Although not a crash as such the following the reporting instructions in the FAQ Audition Crashed. Now what? will help to get it to the Audion development team quicker.

The auto-save was already going to the session folder by default. Thanks for the suggestion to report it. I will do that.
