Linked selection in Fairlight not working properly

PostWed Jul 07, 2021 6:59 am

Moving around some Audio in fairlight (Which is linked to a video) and it keeps disconnecting from the video no matter what I do.

Linked selection is on so the video should be moving as well

Anyone know what might cause this?

Unless I'm misremembering how this works in which case I'll add a feature request but I'm sure the video used to move with the audio if it was linked

Note that the Clip menu > Link Clips option is not enabled on the Fairlight Timeline.
This command is exclusive to the Edit page.

To link Clips on the Fairlight Timeline, use the Clip contextual menu > Link Clips.
Be sure to enable Linked Selection (Shift + Command + L) in the Toolbar.

The Link Clips command on the Fairlight page applies to Audio Clips only.

Thanks! So, if I have a video track with an audio and move it around in Fairlight, should the video not also move with it? is this how it's intended, I mean that's fine but there should be an option for the video to also move as well

This behavior is...odd.

I would expect (and argue for) Linked Selection functioning the same on both pages.

Has there been an update on this? I am working through the Beginners Guide tutorial and the instructions on page 364 section 5 indicate that these should be linked. It specifically asks me to unlink them, but no matter what I do, I cannot get them linked.

The link/unlink function works fine on the Edit Page.

This is as intended—video and audio is unlinked by default in Fairlight; so much so that I jump between Cut and Fairlight very often to do J and L cuts because any grouping in the Cut Page is ignored in the Fairlight without me having to select or deselect "linked selection" first; very useful
