all Cycles builds have gone mute for me today for no apparent reason. Opening the video sequence editor crashes Blender if there is sound data in there.
I neither can import any sound files into the video sequence editor anymore. (I tried to do it with a clean new scene, too.) I downloaded all kinda more recent builds for Mac OS and Windows 7. Sadly I can’t get it to work. It worked before.
I see no answers here… I’ve checked several Cycles builds including my own built - really “Can not open file” is only message if i try to start with importing sound (ogg, mp3). If there is a video track before, Blender goes crashing with no particular error message in terminal.
Just use non Cycles build for video editing - simple as that.
Also, I was having crash problems in VSE with “normal” blender. Then I started going to the top of the screen to the “Choose Screen Layout” button, and then selecting VSE from there. With that layout, it works much better, as a lot of sound options I didn’t know about popped up when I had a clip selected. But VSE is still crashy. So, good luck. Hope that helps at all.
