Deletes a clip and then the music is deleted ??

[varadero99]

Hello friends
When I delete a clip, a warning text will appear that related clips will be deleted. In my case, the music is erased when I want to delete a clip.
Can this be avoided with any setting?

I can see from your screenshot that you have enabled Ripple Editing (the padlocks down the left edge are closed)

Ripple editing locks the tracks together so if you move or delete one of the ones in the top track then something must happen to the clips in the other tracks - it is physically impossible to delete a top track clip without SOMETHING happening to ll the clips locked to it - and the only option Videostudio has in certain instances is to remove clips it cannot move

you need to turn off ripple editing - then delete the clip you want - which means you will then have to move all the other clips manually back to the positions you want them before turning ripple editing back on

alternatively instead of deleting the clip you could replace it with another of EXACTLY the same length by dragging the replacement from the library over the old one and holding the ctrl key down while you release the new clip

Hi
This is part of Ripple editing that removing the B Yamaha.jpg will affect the clips immediately below
01 Grease.m4a and Swoosh..** will be affected
If the 01 Grease can be easily deleted then do that, can be added again later
Move the Swoosh to the right to clear the top clip
Then delete B Yamaha
All clips to the right will more left keeping their order
Re-position Swoosh.m**
Add 01 grease.m4a clip

Another option would be to cut the 01Grease just before B Yamaha, now you have two music clips, drag the 2nd clip to the library to create a copy, delete the second clip from the timeline
Move the Swoosh.m4a to the right,
delete B Yamaha
Replace the 01 Grease from the library.
Replace the Swoosh.m4a

Otherwise deselecting Ripple Editing will allow you to delete the clip but will not retain sync with the overlay tracks
As your project is over 1 hour I doubt that is an option.

It would be much easier to replace that B Yamaha clip with another clip
