1. Select all video events on your video track.
2. Right click on any of these events and select "Create Subclip"
3. Select View -> Project Media.
4. Click on the Timecode In column to sort, ascending, by timecode.
5. Select all the subclips (they will have a use count of "1"), put the mouse over the first one in the list, and drag them all to the timeline.

This will create a new video and new audio track. Delete the new video track. You should now have audio which matches your video.

There is probably an easier way, however. Wait a little bit and see if someone else posts something.

Also, if you have Ultimate S or Excalibur I think they both can find "orphaned" audio or video.

Depends on when you discovered the deletion. If you realized it before closing Vegas, Ctrl+Z will do it.

Since you brought it up. This is a huge deal for me that the history goes away when you close the progam. I would really hope that a system where at least a hundred events are kept and stored with the project folder. The fact is there are times you want to use undo after the program has been closed or unfortunately crashed.

Is there a wish list page with Sony Vegas somewhere?

Erik, I understand your request, but I don't know of any program that stores its history. None I have worked with (video or otherwise) has that option.

It would be a good feature though.

No, but there is a product suggestion page.
At the bottom of this page, click Product Support, then Product Suggestion and fill in the blanks.

Is there a wish list page with Sony Vegas somewhere?There are literally dozens of "wish lists" threads, usually started around the time of a new release. Don't bother to start one. I have not once seen anyone from Sony acknowledge any of these threads, and almost none of the ideas ever show up in future releases. I suspect that the few times they HAVE shown up, it was strictly coincidence.

I have been very critical of development in Madison in quite a few threads lately. Just to be clear: I think the development team was, and still is, competent: It definitely was absolutely brilliant at one time, and possibly still is.

What is totally lacking is product management. Maybe they don't have a product management structure with someone responsible for all aspects of a product's success, including development, marketing, sales, partnerships, etc. However, if there is someone with that title and responsibility, whatever Sony pays them, it is too much. They have done an absolutely terrible, horrible job, even going back to the Sonic Foundry days. Almost every complaint ever posted on this board that has not received a response (i.e., 99.9% of them), and the pathetic, arms-length interaction with the loyal user base here, all stem from a disinterested, clueless, uncaring, incompetent product manager.

That is too bad because the development team has some great engineers and great managers.

I edited for nearly 8 years on one that did and it saved me many times. Discreet Edit 6.0 and Edit 6.5. I actually took it for granted all those years not realizing how special it was.
