Synchronize

JJKizak wrote on 10/9/2006, 8:13 AM
Is there a way to synchronize the sound to video with lots of small clips so that the synchronized sound and/or video clips are on a new track above and below the existing tracks so you can find them after they are done synchronizing? Trying to clean up one of my messes.

Pppaoorgghhh , ,, reeeeally trying to get a "why" handle on this JJK?

Have you separate/orphaned sound from video, for the purposes of moving AUDIO above the VIDEO? If that was the case all you needed to do was move the AUDIOP track above? This can;t be what you are asking? In any event I use Excalibur's "Orphan" script that gets me the Audio back.

I'm now still trying to understand just WHAT you've done? For what purpose? And what you;ve mess you have got yourself into?

You can also use the "PINK" out of sync warnings to re-sync. Eh, what version of Vegas are you using?

And I AM a messy editor!

Well, I had edited a 30 minute clip into V7 with the sound and maybe it was originally about an hour long. Somehow all the sound got clobbered into about 10 second clips so I deleted it and applied the sound from the original clips. Then started to sync up the huge sound track with the still edited video clips which would put chunks on top of the tracks and you talk about a mess. So in effect you have maybe 100 small video clips and each one trying to sync up with the unedited sound clip, one at a time on the same track so it superimposes somewhere on that track. I can first move the small clip above the original track then sync it and it sometimes will move 15 minutes away to sync with the sound and you talk about getting confused. Then chop that section of sound out to match the small clip and move it down to another track. Then get them both back where they are supposed to be 15 minutes earlier. I was hoping that V7 would have a women pop out and do it for me.

Sounds like when you're done, you'll be back where you started with a lot of little audio clips lined up below the video clips?

Ha! I've been looking for the V7 "pop woman out of timeline into room" option. Still looking...

Got mine working but you really need to go into the secret preferences where you can change 'seductive blond' to 'nagging mother of the bride' if you want to get any work done.

I finally figured this thing out. With the edited video (lets say one hundred small clips) on the timeline with no sound apply the original un-edited sound track. It will be way longer than the video so starting at the beginning with ripple edit off and "ignore event grouping" move the cursor to the end of the first clip, highlight the sound track and then "S" key then move the short sound clip to next track below, hit synchronize by moving, move left or right edge of sound clip to cursor and then match the other end to the end of the video clip. Walla, el synco mucho. Move synced clip up to first sound track. Now do this about a hundred more times and you are back where you started before making mistake.

What about "save veg with original media" or whatever it is called? Wouldn't that save all the avi clips with audio, for you to dump everything on ne tracks in one flaming go?

The original was one long clip. But thank God for the color snapper thingys. They take a real load off the cursor. Mission completed.

Let me clarify: Saving a veg with media will save all the edited bits and pieces no matter how few avis they came from.
If someone has got a few minutes on their hand, please test this. I think it would have solved JJKizaks problem the easy way.
