Easy Way to get back audio
Posted by James Purdie on August 27, 2013 at 9:50 amHi there. I accidentally put a song file over my video audio track and now about 50 video clips have lost their audio files.
What’s the easiest way to get back the audio from the video clips?
I think this is really a flaw of the program not having a simple solution. I never realized this happen till many saves later. Now it’s too late to CTRL-Z.
Do I have to copy and paste everything?

I always do a Save a Copy to another drive after a days of editing, just in case auto save is not usable.
If not you have to do the 50 clips manually.
select clip on timeline, hit F for match frame and the original clip will open in the Source Monitor.
You can go from there.———————————————–

August 27, 2013 at 10:17 amAnother irritating thing: I’m trying to paste in time codes I’ve saved, but it keeps reverting back to the time code already in the source monitor. It was working fine for 3 clips previously. This has also happened before and I had to close PP and open it again.
Is this program full of bugs too?

However….I’m using the F key to match the first frame, setting the in point, then moving to the end of the clip hitting F again to match the frame to the last part and setting the outpoint, however, the audio I’m dragging in isn’t the right size….it’s way to long. Somethings going wrong here.

August 27, 2013 at 10:49 amI hate to say this, but it’s driving me crazy. You’d think by pressing “F” I could match frame and then set an in point, and then an out point, but instead, I’m getting this smaller sized “half in points/outpoints” (See the image)

August 27, 2013 at 10:59 amIt’s actually giving me the wrong time code when I hit F. I’m saving the numbers and the time differences are like 20 minutes a part when it should only be 4 seconds apart.
In point: 00;36;12;24
Out Point: 00;29;52;17
How does anybody explain that?

August 27, 2013 at 11:12 amI can see now the Time code is all screwed up somehow. How does that happen?

August 27, 2013 at 11:17 amMy simple work around, is to match the in point with “F”, then approximate the length of the point, pull down the audio and use the “Snap” feature to get the exact length!
And Good night!
