1. Did not start the project with the edit system's Produce phase.
2. Not starting with Produce caused edit system to use pds as the starting file format.
3. Did not realize pds format creates many nested inserts.
4. Nested inserts caused edit system to block audio editing which is needed.
5. Mouse double-clicks on Timeline segment to open audio editing failed. Caused system to only "update Thumbnails". ??
Found informative CyberLink article titled "How to convert Cyberlink PD pds video to mp4. (Also applies to avi or other formats).
Seems useful since my source files are all avi format.
My restart will begin with the four conversion to avi steps in the article.
Please respond if you have knowledge this article is outdated or has erroneous info.
