I have A and B video tracks which both have audio and I am using the Mix feature to switch from A to B. The audio on both tracks continues to play when the video is not active so both audio tracks are playing all the time.
Is the way it should behave? I would have thought the A track audio would have been dominant like the video is and the B audio would only become active with the B video.
Hi Brent! Actually, it is by design to allow both audios to play at the same time.
Adding video mixes
To add a video mix, do the following:
Click the timeline at the point where you want to add a video mix. The playhead (red vertical line) will move to that point on the timeline.
Click any of the four mix buttons below the video stage.
A+B: This is a picture-in-picture mix that fills the stage with content from track A and also displays content from track B in the corner of the stage.
A: Mix A fills the stage with content from track A. Content in track B won't be displayed (though audio from track B will still be heard).
B: Mix B fills the stage with content from track B. Content in track A won't be displayed (though audio from track A will still be heard).
B+A: This is a picture-in-picture mix that fills the stage with content from track B and also displays content from track A in the corner of the stage.
Thanks, Leslie for the confirmation. As a feature request, it would be nice to be able to turn down the volume on one clip for a period of time and then turn it back up. I can see that the clip can be muted but it seems like it is all or nothing.

Thanks for the feedback Brent. We like those feature requests and they go straight to our development team. You can use the form here.
Two thumbs up for this feature request - very confusing to transition from one video to another without the audio being able to transition with it
Thanks for popping in Rob. You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here as well.
