CONFIRM

[BUG-EYED]

First, thanks for the time and effort.
Have done "search" to the best of my ability.
Could it be confirmed that PRO X3 does not have an undo/redo manager, or at least narrowed down to a single clip instead of the whole project.
And, is there not a way to "rejoin" audio after it has been "split" from video.
So far really like X3, no crashes, esay to use, fast.

Thanks again, BUG-EYED.

There is not -- to my knowledge anyway -- any Undo/Redo manager, but have you tried the Undo/Redo buttons directly under the preview screen and to the immediate right of the Timeline View button? However, here I am not sure what you mean by "...narrowed down to a single clip instead of the whole project". Those buttons affect the last action you undertook wherever located in the timeline.

Also not absolutely sure what you mean by your second question. If you mean that you split the audio, edit it in some third party audio editor, and then want to put it back into the original video on the main timeline, then no, that is not possible. The only way to do it is of course to render a new video using that edited audio. But it would initially have to be placed, after editing, in one of the audio timelines.

One of the reasons for this is a bit of sleight of hand by Corel (or originally Ulead). When you split the audio stream from a video, the Mute button is shown as being ticked. But in reality, the original audio stream is still there and you can get it back by the simple unclicking of the Mute button. This is useful if you split the audio, edit it outside VS, but find you don't like the result, and want to go back to the original. But I suspect that this is not what you are talking about.

Thanks Ken.
As you indicated their is no undo/redu manger, I thought maybe one could be a little bit more selective by limiting an undo just to the clip selected.
Rather difficult when I want to undo a particular edit say 4 steps back, without undoing 3 I didn't want to, spoiled from using MEDIA STUDIO PRO.
Thanks for the "mute button" thing.
While I've got your attention, do you find it very difficult adding a "control" to the audio "rubber band", very hard for me, seems that you have to have the mouse pointer at exactly the correct position ?

Thanks again, BUG-EYED.

Yeah, the rubber band has always been rather sensitive, and requires a bit of practice. But it mostly works pretty well...
