Hello, I would like to replace the music I have done on the project ready to be engraved. I do not know how to cancel the old music by the new one. They are now both on the project and of course it is not good.I have not found any procedure in the tutorial or the manual. Thank you for your help

@jean-Daniel-Roux Hi, If you haven't already, put your video & audio on seperate tracks...

Right click the object on the timeline & a window will pop up with an option to put the audio on a separate track. There's also a setting in File - Settings - Program (or click Y on the keyboard to open the settings window)

Then click on the video/audio on the timeline so it highlights yellow & click the 'Ungroup' button that looks like a chain at the bottom of the preview window, you can then click on the audio you don't want & delete it, either Delete on the keyboard or the bin button at the bottom of the preview window.

. . . . I do not know how to cancel the old music by the new one. . . . .

You have 2 options:

Select the music object on the timeline you want to be removed and delete it using the Delete (Del) key on your keyboard.
If the music is on a track with nothing else you can mute that track

See image below.

Your question has been hidden because it does not related to the subject the this thread, which is about replacing/deleting a music object.

This is considered as 'hijacking'.

Please create a new post and include which edition of Video Deluxe you have installed and whether is is the trial version or fully paid for and activated.

@johnebaker It might help if the title of this thread could be changed to reflect the OP's problem, rather than just "Video deluxe 2026 Premium" which understandably to some looks like the correct place to post VDL 2026 problems?
