Hi Michael, Yep, once you consolidate, you've created a new file which replaces the old one in the timeline but it still exists in the session. well, you're in a pickle now and this will be a lesson for the future. First, I'll explain the lesson and offer a possible solution.
Whenever you're preparing to edit a track, create a duplicate of the track with the playlist pop-up menu. You can edit either the original or the duplicate, it's up to you but definitely work on a playlist that has a copy of it beneath. If you ever find yourself in a situation as you have now, all you need to do is to go to the other playlist and copy what you need and paste it into the playlist you're editing. A sighted user can drag the original clip from the playlist into the time line. I'm not sure why your wife can't seem to accomplish the task but here's an alternative: Hide your tracks and go to the Clips list. Select the original clip and export it as a new file and name it something unique so there's no question what it is. Use "Import Audio to Track" from the file menu or Command-Shift-i. Navigate to the exported region and press Return then hit the Done button. In the subsequent dialog, press command-t or make sure the first radio button is selected and press return. A new track will come up with the clip at the beginning of the track. Your additional options, should you choose to be so brave, are to import to the original time stamp so the clip will appear in the correct place in the time line. You'll see a pop-up menu in the previously mentioned dialog where you can select "Spot" which will open a new dialog with various options for where to import the region within the timeline. Hope that helps, Slau On Dec 5, 2014, at 9:44 AM, Michael Kuhlmann <hallo-mich...@gmx.de> wrote: > Hi again, > > first of all thank you for your helpful hints concerning my fades-question. > Fortunately, I’m a little further with my problem and found out, that I can’t > delete a fade in of a clip after having consolidated clips (alt-shift-3).
