Take a look at THIS gem.
Typical video file, SD lossless HuffYUV, run through Audiodirector, close it and the newly tweaked audio file should now be in the timeline. Hiding Audio
It's not, at least I can't SEE it, but it is still audible, and is checked in the Library.
Good grief what's next?

OK, get this...
the adjusted audio file was sent to the wrong folder, because as you know, PD always uses the last folder and when doing multiple projects I always get files going to the wrong folders because I forget to alter the destination before resuming editing.
But please let's not do anything about THAT...
So, I closed PD, moved the audio file (which I could hear in my timeline but not see) to the correct folder, expecting to reopen the project and get the missing file error. BUT, upon reopening I did not get the error, the damn project opened up, the file was in the library, and the file was visible in the timeline. How the frick does THAT happen?
I'm glad it works, but the behavior is perplexing. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
