Video Deluxe 2026 Premium- No sound on video after export

Rocky-Carrell wrote on 9/11/2026, 12:56 PM

Drop a video on track one, drop a song on track two. Play in the viewer and it's all good. I then export it and the video plays immediately after the export and it's still all good. I'll go to the folder that it exported the video and open the file. It plays, but with no sound. Neither the "Mute" or "Solo" boxes are applied on either track. I've tried different songs on track two and saved and still no sound, except for the initial output export on the software. It just doesn't have any sound from the file in the destination folder. I have removed the sound track from track 2 and exported the video from track 1 alone and the video plays with its sound just fine. Am I bugged up or what? Also, I have the "Don't Play Out after Export" button selected, but it still pops up and plays after export is complete. To confirm, I have video and sound on the "Playing after export," but only video with no sound in the destination folder. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi

This would suggest that you are expecting to see an audio file as well as the video file in the export folder, is this correct? .

If so this is not how video export works, the audio is embedded as a second stream within the exported video file and the 'Play after export' option, which is not always obeyed, opens the exported file in your default Windows media player, not the timeline in the program

More information on the exported video file in the destination folder would help. Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the clips and post the results, see this tutorial on how to setup MediaInfo and analyse a video clip for all the data required.

If none of the above apply, depending on the video format you exported to, there may be an option in the export dialog to export video only, check the setting is set to Video + Audio.
