Deleting gaps in video but preserving music track

[juliet elliott]

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry if I'm asking a silly question, it seems like something basic but I've been unable to find an answer through searching.

I'm trying to edit my footage to a music track I've added. When I trim/delete footage so it fits the track, I then want to ripple delete the gap and have the rest of my footage move up but have the music to stay as it is.

For some reason I'm unable to ripple delete gaps now I have a music track and I don't know why. Could you help me? I don't know how I can edit to music unless I can do this.

Thanks in advance

Lock the music track.

or else unlink the audio and video. Now you got audio and you will edit your images to FIT the beat, pace, tempo, etc. of the music.

When done you can re-link audio and video or whatever.

does that work ??
