I'm at a dead stop with my first production! And it's only about 4 minutes long! It's the problem with an audio gap following a transition...
5 second Video Clip - mpeg2 with audio
2 second Crossfade Transition
9 second Video Clip - mpeg2 with audio, but different from the first clip
It works fine in the project timeline, but after creating a video file (mpeg2) the first part of the audio from the second clip is cut out. It appears that the audio doesn't come in until the transition has completely finished.
Could someone please try this and let me know the results? I need to know if my system is set up properly or not.
Thank you for your help.

I think this is normal for Video Studio.

I can't try it out right now, 'cause I'm at work.
But, I thought I got the same (or maybe just similar) results in the timeline before rendering. (?)
The audio doesn't "transition". It just get's hard-spliced. If the audio can't overlap, some audio must be thrown-away. Apparently, they decided to put the hard-splice at the end of the transition. If they would have put the splice in the middle of the transition, you'd loose some audio from the end of the first clip, and some form the beginning of the 2nd clip.
It's a pitty that Ulead went to all that trouble to include all of those cool video transitions, but no audio-transition options. You can usually get away with a video hard-splice, but sometimes an audio hard-splice just sounds really bad... especially if you can't place the audio-splice independently from the video splice/transition.
