Using the file I created to put into a video editor

[mrick36]

I created an audio file to add to a video editor, but when I try to add the file to the editor it doesn’t show up on the explorer window that pops up. I can find it in the explorer window on my taskbar, but it is like it is invisible to explorer window when I try to add it. aup3 is the extension. What’s going on here?

AUP3 files are for Audacity projects and usable only by Audacity. (I rarely make a project file.)

Instead of File → Save, use File → Export to make a WAV or other standard audio format.

Thanks! I already knew this, but I am old. Figured it out, again!
