I have noticed when I edit certain videos, that a phantom type of thing occurs. It goes like this:

A clip that does X is removed. I then put another clip where the old one was, but when I play the video, it does X (what the removed clip did!) instead of what the new clip does.

I've noticed this behavior even if I do not insert the new clip and leave that segment blank. It continues to play the old clip.

What's going on?

Thanks

When this happens try expanding the timeline to its maximum and you may find a tiny fragment has been left behind. I have noticed this when editing around transitions is carried out.

I hope this is of help to you

Peter, just in case you don't know how to expand the timeline - these pics might help - it's one way that I know how to expand the timeline to a point of trying to find the smalest of clips.

before expansion:

" alt="Before Expansion" id="__mcenew" />

.....and after expansion:

" alt="Expanded Timeline" id="__mcenew" />

Keep doing that until the clips no longer get any more stretched out.
