Transitioning After Audio Rubber Banding

[Dekade]

I have split an audio track away from the video track. I then went through audio rubber banding (as suggested by moderator 'Ken') to polish the audio track levels. Now that I have completed the rubber banding I would like to join it back together with the video track. Is that possible?

The ability to do so would allow me to add transitions between clips which I would very much like to do.

There is countless numbers of hours required to place transitions when the audio and video tracks are separated. Every time you place a video transition it throws off the audio sync. It is tough tough tough to try to manually sync the audio back together with the video.

Any expertise or suggestions?

Why you split the audio?
you can "rubber band" on the video or overlay tracks just as well.

asik is of course correct. You don't have to split the audio to do the rubber banding unless you want the split audio for a very specific purpose. I've had a quick look at your other posts, but I am not sure you every told why you needed to split the audio in the first place...

And if you first insert all the transitions and do whatever other editing you want, you should usually leave the audio editing till last so that everything should thus be in sync.

Hi Dekade

To combine the two tracks you will have to render them together using Share Crete Video file, using the same settings as the video file.
This will have course create a single file of the complete project, you can set the Preview Range allowing you to render a specific section or indeed a single clips length.

The only time I use Split Audio is if I wish to grab an audio sample to use in another part of the timeline, taking a copy.

Split Audio simply creates that copy and places in the Voice track, then mutes the top track.
You can return to the top track by simply undoing Mute.
Now you can set rubber banding to the top track, a bit of work, but you have a sample in the voice track to follow. (delete the clip in the voice track)

Don’t Split Audio unless you really need to.

Back to everyone,

I am sorry for the lapse in time. I had some major things come up that ate up a few days of my time.

I simply misread Ken's advice on rubber banding. My goof for sure. I thought the video and audio tracks had to be split prior to rubber banding. I do not want to now lose the rubber banding that I have completed so I will proceed with making an mp4 file now and according to 'lata' that will bring everything back to a single video/audio track. Then I can add my transitions.

Incidentally, rubber banding is a little time consuming but yet it moves rather quickly after the first one or two shots at it. And I must say it is a pretty effective solution.

Next time I will know better. Thanks to all of your for setting me straight.

EDIT! EDIT! - Actually, after experimenting I have chosen a different approach. I don't like the new Create/Share single clip process. So, what I am doing is going back and rubber banding the video track by simply copying node locations as they are showing in the audio track. Then I will simply delete the audio track and in essence be back to square one without a split audio track.
