Keep soundtrack & video timelines together when inserting new vide

[Guest]

One problem I have in WMM is when I have made detailed edits to the audio
timeline and then go back and drop in more video. I need a way to tell the
application to keep my audio track aligned with the video track, even when I
drop in new video toward the beginning of the timeline. As it is now, if I
drop in new video at the beginning of the show, I have to go back and
manually re-align the audio with the video because it all gets out of sync.
Does this make any sense? The only workaround I can devise is to just not do
any work on the audio track until after all video has been put into the
show, but that kind of defeats the point of nonlinear editing. i'd like to
be able to just use the mouse to select a segment of video and audio,
right-click it, and say "keep these in sync" and know what whatever I drop
onto the timeline before this segment wouldn't push apart my audio/video.

Only solution I can think of is to save the interim video with audio as a
temp wmv (at whatever quality you require and then reimport it as a single
video piece. After that you can add extra video stills etc at the start.

I have the same problem. I've created several moview with WMM and all is
well. I used the audio edit and add and no problem. The last movie I made
was relatively simple video edit wise, but was quite lengthy. All I did was
add some Titles. However, it was a couple hours long. I saved it to DVD and
then learned the sound was off.
