Detecting and repairing audio and video synchronization problems
When audio and video events are not aligned, Vegas software will highlight the events in the timeline so
you can see synchronization problems at a glance.
The software determines whether events are synchronized by comparing grouped and overlapping events:
• An event in a group is compared to other events in the same group (of the opposite media type) that were
created from the same media, and the events with the most overlap are used to calculate synchronization.
If no events overlap, the closest events are used to calculate synchronization.
• An event that is not in a group is compared to events (of the opposite media type) that were created from
the same media, and the events with the most overlap are used to calculate synchronization. If no events
overlap, no synchronization offset is displayed.
Note:
The amount of offset is displayed when the Active
Take Information
option is selected on the View menu. Very
small offsets that are below the resolution of the timeline may
be displayed as 0.00. Set the project time format to samples to
see the offset amount.
To restore synchronization, right-click the audio or video event you want to synchronize, choose Synchronize
from the shortcut menu, and then choose a command from the submenu:
Deleting events
Deleting an event removes it from its track. Multiple events can be deleted and time selections can be used
to modify the process. Ripple editing also applies to delete actions. Deleting operates exactly like a cutting
operation, but the removed information is not placed on the clipboard. For more information, see Cutting
events on page 100.

backward to restore synchronization.
