Does linked audio work in 15beta7? I am currently using 15beta4 but will only upgrade if linked audio is working in 7.

Had a bit of a nightmare going from 14.3 to 15 beta. I first backed up my database and exported my project file. Then 15beta6 apparently upgraded my database. When linked audio did not work in 15beta6
I tried going back to 14. I uninstalled 15beta4, installed 14.3, but it could not read my database.

I tried to restore my database, but that did not work. So I went back to 15beta6 to make sure my database was still there. It was. Then I read that 15beta4 worked with linked audio. But the uninstall
tool would no longer work. (It worked once when I went back to 14). So I downloaded some uninstaller to uninstall 15beta6. That program DELETED MY DATABASE. GONE. I can cannot seem to find where I even put the backup copy of the database. Dry mouth moment...

Luckily, I gave up drinking for the month.

Then I incorrectly loaded version 15beta4 (the not studio version) and imported my exported project file. My edit was back! (whew) Linked audio worked! But it appeared I lost all my color correction. Is color correction not part of the exported file? But I was so afraid I lost everything, I will live with redoing color correction. It will be better the second time as I really didn't know what I was doing the first time.

I am back to being able to do sound for my movie. The new fairlight is vastly improved and that motivated me to move to 15 in the first place. But I have the studio logo splashed on my green screen because I did not dowload the right copy. It wont let me install the 15beta4 studio without uninstalling 15beta4 and the standard uninstall still doesn't work and I want to stay away from that devil uninstall tool. I will wait for a studio version of the latest release when audio is fixed.

I have admin rights so I don't know why uninstall doesn't work. It worked once,but not after that.

Hope this account is useful to someone.

I use 15 beta 7 with no external audio sync issues. This is isolated case to my limited use only. It my not apply to your project. Previously I posted audio sync issues with 15 beta 5 and 6.

What exactly do you mean by "linked audio"?

The problem was reported in beta5 and beta6, where audio clips would not play, although you could see the waveform. It was limited to audio clips that were linked to video. I am going to give beta 7 a whirl and we will see how it goes.

I had many problem with beta 6, but now beta 7 works fine for me....no muted synched clip at all!!

Beta7 works for me too! Yay! Thanks black Magic for the wonderful tools. I love my mini Ursa too.
