VS6 Connecting Voice track to video track during editing

[jberryl]

In VideoStudio 6, how does one connect the voice track to the video during the editing process?

My specific issue is that I have to go back and edit material sometimes that precedes the voice track I already have laid down, but when the time frame of the material after my new edit I have to go back and drag the voice track to the proper location. I would like to be able to permanently "attach" the voice track to the specific video clip and have it follow that clip as it is moved, time wise, during the editing process.

Is there a means to make this happen?

PS - I realize there is a work around way - just publish each clip and then rebuild the final project but that is NOT what I want to do.

Hi jberryl

And welcome to the forums

Ripple Editing is a means of locking the timelines together.
Look to the left of the timelines for those Padlocks—the top one will activate Ripple Editing then select the track to be locked.

Ripple Editing can be a little tricky to manage as trying to edit locked clips can cause then to be removed, you are prompted if this is gonna happen.

The workround is to edit from left to right, completing the edits so you do not re-trace your editing steps.

Thanks - Yes - I try to edit left to right but sometimes you don't always get the sequence of events in an order that is the final way you want it presented. Like today, I found three clips after my insertion of the voice tracks and I'm thinking to myself - dang there's got to be a better way. And I do appreciate the instruction - but you're correct I don't want to delete the work I already have.
