Q: Error Message: A conflict occurred during a trim operation

Hi Folks!

I'm trying to change the speed of a clip, but when I do, I get an error message: "A conflict occurred during a trim operation". Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!

    This happens when tracks collide, usually audio tracks. Yiou might have to rearrange the tracks to make this work.

    Hi Tom,

    I've tried playing around with the tracks, but it seems the only way I can work around the problem is to create a new sequence. Basically, I create the new sequence, change the speed of the clip, and then use the sequence in the original timeline. Seems like a lot of unnecessary work, and something I never had to do before. I'm wondering what I may be doing wrong. Any other suggestions/info that'll help me understand what's going on?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    I often stagger the clips in the timeline to avoid some potential problems.  Meaning if one one clip is on v1 I put the next one on v2.  Also if you don't need an exact speed, I suggest a 3-point edit.  You place on in and an out in your timeline.  Put the scrubber bar over the in.  with the clip in the viewer, drag it to your drop edits and select "fit to fill." 

     

    Sorry if my termonology isn't spot on!

    if you do not need the audio to sync then lock your audio tracks and try again...this worked for me
