Cannot get the video and audio to play together

Help/How To
1

I just downloaded Shotcut yesterday and dropped a video into the playlist and then the timeline. The video plays when I press the play button. Then I added a mp3 file using Ctl-U, however the audio file would not drop into the audio, so I added it through the playlist. When I hit play the video and audio file won’t play together. Can some help me. Thank you. Here is a screen shot of my current screen.

You need to add the video to a video track and the audio to an audio track

You screenshot shows an audio track on the timeline and no video track.

Try this. Create a new file. Add the video to the playlist. Add the audio to the playlist.
CTRL Y to create a video track. CTRL U to create an audio track. Then drag the video to the video track and the audio to the audio track. They should both play.

You beat me to it Steve.

I just wanted to thank everyone again. I have both the video and audio playing on the timeline. I just need to adjust the time line a little.

Thank to all for replying within six minutes. I’m impressed. That’s close to the response time to our EMT’s in Fairfax, VA. Very impressive support, thank you all.
