Not me. I turned off the system for 2 weeks and when I started the DS up, the audio STILL would not play back at the extended part.

 

Thanks for playing, though.

I have had this issue when i batch in an AFE. of media i have deleted. I batch it in and i know there is audio there because i can see it on the waveform. I have had 100% luck with restarting DS software. and then my audio pays fine.

Ok, MY turn.

 

I have done this before (MANY times) but it just ain't working for me now. I captured a clip...then I figured out later on that I need to have that clip be 30 sec longer (roughly). So I go to the folder the clip is in, right click the clip and go to Properties and then select the General Tab and set the duration to the length I need and hit APPLY. Everything is fine. The clip has media missing at the end of it. GREAT.

 

Now I right click and select Recapture and it asks for the tape and it goes and captures the missing media (video AND audio). HOWEVER, when I play the clip back the video is at the end, but the audio does NOT play back (only at the extended capture point, all other audio originally captured is there and playing back).

 

So, the cool part...I selected the clip, purged the media and decided to recapture the whole thing with the new length. I do it and guess what, it plays back the same as above!! Video is completely there, but he audio only plays back to where the ORIGINAL outpoint was located. It just cuts off and goes to silence while the video plays.

 

As I have said, I have done this many times before (in earlier versions) without any issues.

 

WHAT have I done wrong?  :(

Thanks and I hope everyone's year is the best it's ever been...even with Avid doing what it's doing to the DS...WHO knows?
