Cutting pieces out of video and then audio is no longer lined up

Hi! I would love some assistance. I am using Magix Movie Studio 2022 suite. When I cut pieces out of a video (areas I don't want where there are errors) and move the two new pieces together, the audio and video for the second part are no longer aligned. It is not a lag. I have closed out of the project and re-opened and still the same issue.

I can't seem to find how to fix it in any of the support documentation or on YouTube. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am coming into this version out of Vegas Pro 10.

Thanks!

Welcome to MEP, Tracy. It sounds like your audio has become unlinked/ungrouped from the video.

Are the video and audio different objects or is the audio part of the video file?

Grouping is controlled by the chain icons below the monitor:

To group objects eg video and an external, separate soundtrack, CTRL click on both, then click the closed chain link. Both will move together when you drag them around. To ungroup (say you want to separately move the previously grouped objects) click them (they'll both be highlighted) then click the broken chain link.

To tell if your objects have become ungrouped is to click on one of them. If only one stays highlighted, they've been ungrouped.

Grouping will remain if you make any splits. If the objects are grouped, the will split both. If the objects are ungrouped, only the highlighted object will be split. If none are selected, all will be split.
