Why is "Detach Audio" disabled?
I have a clip and I want to detach the audio, but "detach audio" is disabled.
I have a feeling that it's because I'm inside a compound clip - and there is a rule I'm not being warned about that says something like "you cannot add non-audio to an existing video-only compound clip"
(I site that warning because I do get such a warning when I do the opposite "you cannot add video to an existing audio-only compound clip" - and the place I need to copy this audio, is in an audio-only compound clip, so I can't copy the entire clip)
However, if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get the audio out of this clip, so I can copy it, I'd be all ears.
If only there was a "copy/paste audio" command, that would do it. I just need to grab the audio, exactly from that clip, and paste it inside an existing audio-only compound clip (remembering that this fact prevents copying the entire clip).
Ultimately, in desperation, I could find the original clip and add the "audio only" to the timeline at the place I want it, but it wouldn't be cut to the same In/Out points and so would be a major hassle to get the audio I need.
