Audio gone?

Just saved 5 hours of editing.
Reopned the veg file to fine tune things.
Video track is there.
Music track is there.
Narration track is their too, with all it's many edited events.
Problem is, THE WAVE FORMS ARE GONE!!!
Unless I can recover this I have to re-edit all the narration.
A big job.

1- if your firewire drive is flakey, sometimes something will screw up. Rebooting may solve it.

2- If your audio was sourced from a DV tape, you can re-capture the footage.

3- Are the files gone or something else???

4- WHen you open Vegas, doesn't it complain that it can't find your narration file?

Dan,
I am reading your post a little differently. By saying your waveforms are gone, do you mean you cannot see them on the audio event or you cannot hear any audio?

If the former, Ctl+Shft+W will bring back the waveform display. If you cannot hear audio, sorry .. don't know what to tell you except perhaps the last veg backup file may be your only other option. That way you may not have lost a lot of work.

Wave form is gone,---but there are blank events.
In the past I've usually seem media of line if the files are not there.
Not in this case.
Stymied here.

What if...
--You copy and paste everything into a new project?
--Export an EDL and/or XML and bring that back in? (There are two different EDLs... the Vegas-format EDL from file-->save as one might be better.)

2- You could also try Sony's tech support?

Regardless of the waveforms, can you hear the audio?

Are you certain it's not just a case of Vegas deciding to rebuild the waveforms, sometimes this can take a while.
