Cannot cut audio between frames

Cannot cut audio between frames, even though 'show audio time units' is anabled and the audio is unlinked from the video clip. Never had this problem before. A restart of the computer did not help.

I am running version 22.6.4(Build 2).

 

Anyone has an idea please?

Solution found by Averdahl:

For other you may counter the same problem:

In my project the keyboard shortcut did not cut at the right place, but using the razor tool did cut right between the frames.

Thanks to Averdahl for his workaround.

In those cases deleting the Preferences is often the way to solve odd issues: FAQ: How to reset (trash) preferences in Premiere Pro

No, the keyboard shotcuts are not deleted but when done you will have to go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and select your Keyboard Layout Preset to get them back.

Thanks, I tried it, but even after resetting the preferences in Premiere Pro the cut still appears at the next left or right frame but not where I place the playhead.

Same it the latest version of Premiere Pro.

 

Any more things I could try?

If you have an audio only clip that has never been linked to video, does it work then?

Also do you have any track keyframes showing?

The audio clip is a music track which was never linked to any audio and there are no keyframes on the audio clip.

Then it sounds like you have not activated Show Audio Time Units. That´s the very key to cut audio between frames. 🙂

Got it! What happens if you create a brand new project and import the audio clip and then set the timeline to Show Audio Time Units and then zooooom in and try to cut the audio?

 

This method can rule out a corrupt project.

Thanks Averdahl, in a brand new project I am indeed able to cut wherever I want with the same audio clip.

Any tricks up your sleeve how I can manage to do the same in my current project, where it's not working?

Great!

 

Yes, there is a way to fix it:

Go to File > Import and import the project file for your old project into the new project. This will import the entire project. Mind you that it can seem that Premiere Pro stops working during the import, but do nothing and wait until it´s done. It may take about one minute.

I imported the old project into a brand new project and the problem persists. When I import the same audio file or even a different one I still cannot cut at audio unit time level, nothing is linked, no keyframes and audio time unit is selected ... Same in PP 22 and 23, very strange ....

Interesting! I would like to take a look at it, can you send a PM with the project file to me? No media is necessary, just the project file.

Upload it to let´s say Adobe Creative Cloud (or any other cloud service) and share the link in a PM sent via this forum.
