I use photos from a number of different cameras. On three recent projects, one of the photos on the timeline repeatedly substitutes for the photo displayed and identified on the timeline. There is no relation between the projects or the photos (meaning in one project the interfering photo was from a Canon G5x, and on another it was from an ASUS ZXenfone3...can't remember the third combination).
I find the correct image on the menu and copy and replace it in the corresponding position on the timeline, and all seems well. I usually do a manual Ssave at that time too. When editing a sequence of several hundred photos, itis a pain to go through again and again and discover that a random number of images have been substituted in this manner.
I am not positive of a pattern but it seems the substituted photos are often ones on which I have used the "Enhance Image" tool. It may be that the enhance tool is adding that singular image that is being substituted as well doing the Enhance (perhaps the first image enhanced follows the tool to further images, but not every enhanced image). I have not yet discovered a pattern.
On the previous project, I was using images from seven different devices. The substituting image was from the ASUS Zenfone3, which used a date/time stamp for ID. Example "20180117_111620" which is the date plus 11:16:20 time stamp. I thought that the time stamp may be overriding the various images other ID code, so after trying various other things, I gave the interfering photo a new name, removed the original from the project and deleted it from my PC. I cannot remember which photos this image had been imposing itself on.
On thiscurrent project, most of my photos were from a Nikon camera with ID coding like "_600xxxx". The specific interfering cropped and enhanced photo was from a Canon G5x, with ID coding "IMG_0666". I did not record if the photos being overlayed were from the Nikon, a Canon Rugby phone or that ASUS Zenfone3, but I think they were all on the Nikon images.
Anyone finding similar anomalies with suggest sequence for easiest correction?

I have carefully avoided using "overwrite" since my original posting.
I have made quite a number of videos since then without problems.
If I recall, I did have a couple of occasions where I did something, and used the"undo" function, which cleaned everything up.
No problems to overcome!
Thanks

I have learned that I must never use "overwrite" on PD10 Track1. Subsequent editing can inadvertantly cause displacement of audio from the primary video track, and if not noted and corrected with "undo", can lead to a PD10 timeline confusion from which it cannot recover. Fully mature software should disallow actions from which it cannot recover. PD10 is not there yet.
Put all "overwrite" or "overlays" on separate tracks.

I have been struggling with the same "audio goes out of synch" problem. While I have been getting advice though a support ticket advisor, the advisor has focussed on my computer and PD10 installation, which is not getting anywhere.
I have used various versions of PD starting with PD5.0 in 2005 and upgrades including PD9 Ultra64, and never have I had the problems experienced with my October 2011 upgrade to PD10 Ultra64. I am not a power user, but I am a long-time user! What follows is a bit of current communication to my Support Provider:
I have experimented with nearly identical projects to see what kind of actions initiate specific problems through "undocumented features":
1) The first is to avoid using “overwrite” on any track, especially with unequal media (i.e. don't "overwrite video with still image). During tests and project re-construction, I have created displacements of audio vs . video, and the displacement was propagated through every video clip down the timeline. As long as I noticed the fault and only used “undo”, my project could get back to synchronization. When I have not been aware that the fault was in place, I used “remove” and other tools to “unlink”, move and “re-link”, as it appeared by the timeline view that the fault was corrected. Not so! PD10 gets progressively confused on its timeline, and in the worst case, crashed PD10 so that any time I tried to restart the file, as soon as it got to placement on the timeline, a window said "PDR10.exe has stopped working". To avoid problems, I now use only secondary tracks to create the effect of overwriting. In view of the reality that “remove” used on an”overwritten” clip does not restore the part overwritten, either the application logic or the instructions should highlight the probable faults that are created. Ideally, an application should disallow any action from which it cannot recover.
2) When editing “Title” on the Title Timeline, change “duration” only by extending (dragging) on the specific clip. I found that if I change “duration” any single clip through the toolbar, every title clip on that timeline gets displaced, even though each is clearly and substantially separated in time.
3) I have problems with Media Viewer not going full screen from the timeline, created by "Troubleshooting with Support"
4) I am now missing a bunch of Title and PiP items that I was using just last week!
I am about ready to uninstall and reinstall every PD10 component for perhaps the 8th or 9th time this last two weeks. I started with only one problem, and now I have several! I have three PD10 saved sources: my first, which was a functioning download, my second, which was a special direct download from theCyberlink Support site, and the third is my purchased backup CD. My application includes the most recent patch 1012, which had no effect on my issues.
It's a good thing I am retired!!!!

My issue sounds the same as Ed71.
I made one project using "overwrite" to set photos within VT1 without disturbing sound on linked AT1. Further editing created "audio displacement" from the linked video in every clip later in the track. Also some gaps created by editing or removal were not recognized as gaps in "close gap".
On the second project, I set the photos on VT2 at the same time as in the above. I avoided using "overwrite". No audio offsets or other anomalies so far.

Yes! I run ATI Radeon 4850 on a much lesser machine (Intel Core2 Duo @ 3.0 Mhz). I use PD10 Ultra64 after upgrade from PD9 Ultra64.
PD10 has editing issues, but I don't think they are video-related.

I have been working with Cyberlink Tech Support on this "audio displacement" introduced when I upgraded from PD9 Ultra64 to PD10 Ultra64. I may be closer to an answer for my own situation. I compared two mixed HDvideo (m2t) and HD photo projects, the first with progressive displacement of audio from linked video, and the second with no such problems. For both projects I wanted to maintain the linked audio as background while I added still photos at selected timeline points.
Type (a) with problems compounded by subsequent editing: I added photos to the video track 1 using "overwrite".
Type (b) without problems: I added photos on video track 2 at the time points of each video that I had used "overwrite" in (a).
I did not know when I started this current of projects that the photos on track 2 would take precedence over the video clip portion on track 1. This happy behaviour resulted in the played or produced video by both techniques looking the same. The difference was that (b) had no audio displacement regardless of any subsequent editing.
I had earlier noticed that any changes in (a) for durations, exchanges of transitions or clips etc also created some gray timeline blanks that PD10 did not recognize for correction by "remove gap". That is, "remove gap" stayed ghosted.
I have learned to minimize or avoid using "overwrite".
