The editing tool does not edit both the video and audio tracks for highly corrupted video segments. What could be the solution?

I have a video clip with a sound track that I'm editing and I encounter a spot where there is significant garbling of the video and audio. Ii then split the video both before and after the distorted segment and then I use the editing tool to remove the defective segment. However, when I playback the edited clip, the video looks good but the sound track does not appear to have been edited. everything after the edit point has a shifted audio track

Note. When I shorten video clips that are not corrupted. Both the audio and video are edited out correctly.

Hmm...

First thought: had you ensured the audio and video tracks were "grouped" (i.e. locked together) BEFORE you made the cut? If so, any deleted material SHOULD be that which is "in sync" as it were.

Second thought: I'm not at all sure this will have any effect but have you tried "recreating the frame table" on the WHOLE (i.e. uncut) video?

Third thought: when you say there is "significant garbling of the video and audio" can you give us a bit more information about exactly what you see and hear? My thinking here is that this garbling MIGHT be caused by the problem hinted at in my second thought: the frame table has become corrupted in this section. This assumes that what you are seeing and hearing is distorted sound AND picture simultaneously.

Final thought (!): if none of these suggestions makes the slightest difference, is there any chance you might be able to export a section of your video and audio, including obviously the "garbled" section so that other users might be able to look at it and suggest possible answers for you.

HTH.

Assuming the original clip plays fine in a media player!

Adding to emmrecs second thought, make a note of the file name/number for the corrupted clip, delete it from the timeline leaving the gap and save the movie. Locate the movie clip and delete the file(s) with the same name/number as the original clip but with the file extensions .HDP and if present .H0 .

Reload your project into MEP and then re-insert the clip. This will recreate the file(s) you deleted and hopefully correct the problem.

Option four is to create a new project and load the offending clip only, and see if it plays correctly.

If it does, export as a Magix video file keeping the same resolution settings and frame rate as the original. Then try importing this mxv file to the timeline of the other project
