Here should be a video showing what's happening.

Your Video and audio clips are unlinked. Look at the leftmost two clips. Why is there a gap between the audio...Did you do that (unlinked them)?? Click on the word PowerDirector on the top right of the screen and tell us the version number. You may need to update it to the latest version. After you update, then you may continue to have problems unless you start new projects.

Let us know your PD version number.

Yes, they are unlinked as I remove the audio and place my own audio there. Been doing this all along. And I'm up=to=date on the version....3403.

There is a gap because I don't want any audio there.

I want to know why when I select one video clip, an audio clip later in the timeline is also selected. So I cannot remove or move one without the other. Very strange. And would hope there is an answer.

Go to 9-12 seconds to see what I mean.

At 8 sec. into the video when you you clicked on EasterDinner(3) video, the EasterDinner(5) audio became highlighted too. You then dragged the EasterDinner(5) audio clip to the track below. The EasterDinner(3) moved below also because it is highlighted. Did you notice both were highlighted before you do the drag??

I can duplicate what happened on my sample clips unlinked and with the audio previously switched around. I find that when I see 2 clips selected then hold down ctrl key to unselect the undesired clip and then drag the only selected audio clip down to the lower track does not drag any other unselected clip down.

If you continue to have these problems then check that you don't have sticky keys enabled in windows. Don't drag if you see an unwanted clip highlighted.

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you. Did the trick. So simple...........feel foolish I didn't try that myself. Wondering how they became linked in the first place.

B......

I use Pavtube video converter to combine video and audio together, and the final video file can be easily added to PD12.
