Reloading Peaks file?

How do I tell Vegas to reload the peaks file?

I loaded a 3 hour file in Vegas (Vegas #1) and it started generating the peaks file. It was taking a while, so I performed some trimming and before It finished loading the peaks file I opened another copy of Vegas (Vegas #2) and copied the clip from Vegas #1 to Vegas #2. That cause a slugish performance problem because both instances were trying to build the peaks file. I clicked cancel on Vegas #2 and allowed Vegas #1 to finish building the peaks. The peaks in Vegas #1 finished building and seem to work fine, but now Vegas #2 will only display the message that the peaks aren't loaded. I removed the event file from the media pool on Vegas #2 and coppied again from Vegas #1, but it still won't show the clips.

So again. Is there a way to tell vegas to reload and display the peaks file?

delete the .sfk files for those particular clips, vegas will reload/write them

I figured that would work. But if Vegas had refresh command that I didn't know about, then I wanted to know about it. F5 doesn't work by the way.

In V4 (don't have 5 yet) F5 does re-build the peaks. I just did it.

Hmm. Maybe my peaks file was corupted some how. Still that doesn't explain why Vegas #1 seemed fine when viewing the peaks.

Try Shift-F5 to rebuild the audio peaks in Vegas 5.
