I want to take a video clip and insert a still picture in
the middle of it while keeping the audio of the original
video clip in tack. Anybody want to share a technique to
do this???

Thank you in advance and Happy New Year
 
Split the video at that point and add the still picture?
What do want to be audible while the still picture is being displayed?
 
Thank you for your response.

For example, I am interviewing a person talking about
proper golf swing form. During the interview, I want to
show a still picture of the proper golf form and then
come back to the interview. Although we change from the
interview to the picture and then back to the interview,
I want to continue the audio from the video throughout
the video even when we transition to the picture and then
back to the video.

Am I explaining that correctly???

Thanks again for your help.

First Copy/Paste the video clip from the video track into
the audio/music track and position it to start at the
exact same time as the beginning of the video clip. Then
mute the audio in the original video clip. The golf
experts voice from the audio track should remain in sync
with the video. Then split the video clip in the video
track and insert the photo. Drag the right side of the
photo clip to select the length of time you want the photo
to display. Select the second piece of the split video
clip. Drag the left side of that clip to the right to
shorten it by the exact amount of time that the photo clip
displays. (That removes the amount of video that will
be "overlayed" by the photo.) The start and end positions
of the combined video should exactly match the start and
end positions of the clip in the audio track. The expert
will continue speaking while the photo is displayed and
when the video resumes after the photo, the expert's voice
and lips should remain in sync.

That assumes you do a straight cut from video to photo and
back to video. If you do transitions such as fades you
will have to monkey with start and end points of the clips
to keep the audio and video in sync.
