Thanks HD, and frustrating is an understatement. I've lost so much time having to go back and manually synchronize some music to the video as well as 2 videos shot with 2 different cams. Going back to my roller coaster example, I actually did use 2 cams for side by side footage. A friend of mine was using the 2nd gopro sitting next to me. So as you can imagine, having to go back and manually synchronize the coaster video footage as well as audio is quite discouraging.

After reading my post again, it seems I may have misworded this a bit. While it is unsynchronizing things, it's not the audio and video from the same foortage. As an example, I recorded some footage from my gopro camera on a roller coaster then later added my own music to it. The music was carefully synchronized with the clip and when finally finished, I grouped these together. This is a music track that was added as a separate entity to the video shot from the gopro and NOT the included audio track captured by the gopro cam. Anyway, since these two are now grouped I thought they would stay synchronized for good. This is where the problem is. I spent time working on other aspects of the project and when I returned to this section, the music I added and the original footage were no longer synchronized ALTHOUGH they were still grouped together.
I have been very careful above in my use of the words "synchronized" and "grouped".

HI all,
While the title is referring to grouped objects , I did have a couple other questions to throw out there in this post.
I have upgraded to PD14 and have noticed an issue that has bothered me for some time that still remains. While spending much time synching up my video and music then grouping them to prevent that time from being wasted, they somehow end up being out of synch later but yet still show that they're grouped. If they're still grouped together they should be moved "as one unit" and therefore, not be out of synch. Am I missing something with the "group objects" command?
Secondly, while working in the standard timeline and trying to use my synch audio tools, I've yet to get the program to work properly. THis goes back to the past year while using PD13 also. I simply click on both clips and hit the synch audio button and most of the time it just puts one clip behind the other. Now in PD's defense, these clips have all been with a fairly high degree of background noise, but still not ALL. So this ties in with my first question because I'm spending considerable time synching up 2 separate clips manually.
Finally, this is not a concern or issue but thought I would ask here. Is there any way or anywhere to get additional 3rd party trackers to use in the motion tracker? I've been using this and its a great feature but it seems extremely limited with the options we're given.
Thanks in advance,
T

Thank you two very much for taking the time to point this newbie in the right direction. I can't believe it was that simple although I sure am glad it was.
As far as why the AD5 wasn't working, I tried other files first to see if they would work and they worked ok. For some reason its just the one file (that I'm aware of) that had the issue. So as long as its just this isolated incident I think I'll be ok.
So far, so good and thanks again guys. it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for the reply. I'll try that this evening when I get home from work.
regarding the cropping, I do apologize as it seemed everything I tried just wasn't working as intended. Then when I figured I would start over from scratch with the pics, I couldn't delete them.
Anyway, thanks again and I'll post any results this evening.

As my title suggests, I am baffled as to what is all of a sudden going on. I have had PD13 for about a few months now without issue and all of a sudden i'm having issues. I have a fairly new Pc with 8G ram and running windows8.1.
The first issue is when I tried use the "blur" effect and mask out a face on a video. I followed all appropriate steps and when getting to the masking section I get nothing but a black screen.
Also to show what is going on with my fx not working I tried adding another effect for "old time movie" and as you can see in the screenshot I have most parameters almost at maximum and yet you see nothing is happening in the video. keep in mind that the video has been changed to black and white previously. This effect did work.
I also don't know if its related but when trying to modify the sound via audiodirector, I would get 94% done and then a screen saying AD is already in use and get an error.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
