Audio(right track) partially missing

Vegas Pro 13. 1.5 hour project from 2 ProRes 422 .mov files. Presently the project is about 1/2 complete with 13 markers and 10 splits along the timeline. Original media only carried left and right audio, and timeline's audio tracks were correspondingly reduced to 2, (left and right stereo) prior to editing. Originally the audio was fine until after 4 hours of editing, when all but the first 8 minute split of the right audio track disappeared so that the balance of the 1.5 hour right audio track is blank. The original .mov files are still in tact. How can I recover the missing split segments of the audio without redoing all edits, splits and markers?

I suggest opening the .mov files audio in SF or another audio editor/DAW and save as WAVE audio files. Then 'Replace' the audio files in 'Project Media' menu. Another option; render the audio to new tracks, (Tools menu) then remove the re rendered files (or append the audio file names). Upon restarting the project, when VP can't find the previous files, specify replacement audio files in the prompt.

Is the waveform display flat-lined? Can you still hear the audio?

If this project goes to life support, you can move your splits and markers to a new project easily using the following method:

View / Window / Edit Details

The splits are under Show / Events. Select All, copy from the current project and paste to a new projects with the same media on the timeline.

The markers are under Show / Markers, Select All, copy from the current project and paste to a new projects with the same media with the same media on the timeline.

Thank you. Using your suggestion, I was actually able to restore right tracks by copying and pasting left track events to right track numbers within the original event table. Good stuff to learn.

Glad you were able to get out of the woods. Event Details can be handy for lots of things.
