Add a video to the timeline without any audio in DaVinci Resolve
Introduction
Add a video to the timeline without any audio in DaVinci
When a video in the media pool does not contain any relevant audio track, it is possible to add only the video track to the timeline. This will save time later (no need to delete the audio track in a second step), but it will also prevent the associated audio track in the video will not overwrite an existing soundtrack in the timeline.
