Can't see both audio channels 1 & 2 at same time

PostMon Oct 16, 2017 3:44 am

Hi...
Hopefully someone out there can help with my editing timeline problem. I have been using Davinci Resolve for about 4 months now... Everything is working fine. Tonight, I must have done something different.... Hit a tab or slid something up or down.

At this point, I can see my main Video 1, where my original cut was done. Above it, I can see Video 2 with some new clips and another set of new clips above Video 1 and Video 2 in Video 3.

The problem I am having is the little slider to move up and down on bottom right side of the editing program to see more than just Audio 1, when I slide it down to see Audio Channel 2, then Audio Channel 1 moves up simultaneously and pretty much disappears or you can see a small portion of it.

I have always been able to see both Audio Channel 1 and Audio Channel 2 to compare and see where I can drop the audio in Channel 2 if I wanna match it up it Audio Channel 1 or just compare the two timelines of audio.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I will attach a picture for anyone who wants to take a look physically at what I am seeing.
I am using DAVINCI RESOLVE Public Beta 14
Thanks!

Thanks Peter!
I did download the new DR Public Beta 14.01...
I did not solve the problem at all.
I am going to post another question. I have five video lines on my timeline.
I do not need all of them. I have not slid a shot up on video line 5.
I have been using 4 video lines and accidentally slid a shot up up above video line 4 once
and now I have created a fifth video line and think this maybe the problem.

I do not know how to get rid of the 5th video line at this point.
If you know how to get rid of unused video lines let me know.
I will attach a photo so you can see the picture of video line 5.
Thanks

To delete a track right click on the track box and select delete. Are you sure you are running the 14.01 beta version, as we are now on 14.01008 release version. No problem here with tracks disappearing behind others. Have you read the manual?

Hi Charles Bennett....
When I got home from work tonight... I just decided to right click on the video lines 4 and 5 and sure enough there was an option to delete the track. I did so...

You asked if I had read the manual, I have to a certain degree.... Last night when all this started happening, yes I spent two hours looking at the manual and could not come up with anything.

So now I just have 3 lines of video. Only about 6 shots on video line 3. I could go down to 2 lines of video if I wanted to....
Still I can only see Audio line 1. If I use the little slider on the right side, yes I click on it and pull it down and there is Audio Channel 2. This doesn't help me.... I have to see both Audio Channels at once.

Many times I need to see the Audio Channel 1 to see where to place a new Audio sound on Audio Track 2.

It has always been like this for me before last night... I could always see Audio Channels 1 and 2 simultaneously.
Have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Move your curser over the dividing line between the Audio 1 box and the Video 1 box, hold down the left mouse button and push the line up.
