Audio playing where there is no object

Hi, need your help!

I am adding MP4 video to a previously completed MEP (Plus Version 19.0.2.58) project. I am importing the MP4 in sections from a larger file, then cutting these sections into shorter, smooth flowing clips. The audio is getting corrupted. In some cases, I find the audio associated with a video clip being moved or replicated in other places in the project and in some cases portions of the the audio disappears. When I separate the Track 1 objects to try to remove unwanted audio, the audio is still plays there but I can't find any objects in any tracks to delete it. I didn't see anything in the manual or Forum about this. What am I doing wrong?

Hardware: Intel i5-9400, 12 GB Ram

OS: Windows 10

Hi and welcome to the user forums.

There are a lot of threads on this topic but with different headings to yours.

Look here to read one of them. Pretty much all of them have the same cause and remedy. Try as recommended on that thread and if you still have problems come back with data from the files in question as suggested on in that thread.

Ray.

Hi

You are probably not doing anything wrong as 'ghost' audio has been seen to occur in the past - try exporting the project to a MVD file - File, Manage project, Export movie, Magix movie file.

Start a new project and import the previously saved MVD file - File, Manage project, Import movie, Magix movie file, the save the project with a new name

This should remove the ghost audio.
