Hi

I have a sequence which contains a video with sound and a music file which I am going to play on top when the video is quiet.

For some reason the music doesn't;t play when the video is there. If I delete the video layer the music plays, sound great!, but when I add the video tot he sequence the music doesn't play whilst the video does play sounds.

HELP!

You will have to render you timeline first.

Most likely you machine cannot handle nests and remix at the same time.

Please post screenshots of your sequences.

Here are the 2 screenshots.

The first one shows the main sequence with the video on the layer the music file below.

The second one shows the video sequence.

Do you have the audio tracks stacked. For example the audio from the nested sequence in A1 and the other audio in A2?

OK I having looked into this some more, I thinking I am talking about NESTED SEQUENCES.

The nested sequence is overriding the sound, so the sound the new sequence is no working.

Still not solved it.
