Thanks Terry.

I may not had explained clearly, earlier. I had not imported any audio files, all files were video. The problem is that only the audio can be heard at the 'blank' space and no pictures seen on the screen when the audio is heard. And all attempts to the delete the 'blank' location where the audio was experienced was to no avail.

hope these pictures on dropout are better !

The duly edited link

Is also invalid.

Copy/pasting works fine here. But the site does seem very slow to me at present.

Hi

Copying and pasting is possible however you must use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to do this - right click copy and paste does not work in some browsers and certainly Firefox gives you a warning for the forum site.

Have you looked on the lower tracks to see if there is a stray audio object ?

John

Thanks John.

Yes, in fact i normally only use the 1st, 2nd & 3rd tracks but since i had this problem scrolled all the lower tracks and indiviually and collectivelly tried to delete the 'blank' trouble space but that too does not work !

Hope this link to dropbox works:

Hi

. . . . and collectivelly tried to delete the 'blank' trouble space but that too does not work ! . . .

That may indicate that you do have a stray object at the end of the timeline.

Use Ctrl + A to select all the objects on the timeline, then press the End key - this will take you the very end of the timeline where an object is present, then scroll down the tracks all the way to the bottom to see if their is a stray object - it should be clearly visible when selected.

To get rid of all the blank space after the last object in the top tracks are you using this method?

Then press Alt + Del.

John

Thank You very much JOHN it worked - no more unwanted audio.

Just curious, do you know why the stray object at the end of thetimeline was not visible and even after deleting all the columns, it did not work - the audio was not removed ? Also, i did not import just audio but video but no pictures were visible just audio, please?

cheers,

. . . . do you know why the stray object at the end of thetimeline was not visible and even after deleting all the columns, it did not work - the audio was not removed . . . .

There was a discussion on the forum about this very topic a while ago - where when deleting an object it 'disappeared' from the timeline, as you would expect, except that the audio part for left behindwas left behind and became invisible - IIRC this was caused by two objects occupying the same section on the same track and when you deleted one the other also 'disappeared'.
