Pink Timeline after multicam driving me crazy
I am pretty new to Vegas Pro 12, and have learned most from video tutorials and such. I use mostly now for editing two cameras down to one view on my sons hockey games, but I’ll expand to doing 15 years worth of pics and videos soon. My problem is once I’ve done the multicam edit, I go through and try to remove non action sections like between periods. When I group all the tracks (Quantize to frame is on, Auto ripple is on) find my cut point and split, then hit delete to remove all three track sections, literally every other track after that section (one white, one pink, white, pink, etc…) turns pink. I know it has something to do with the multicam edit, but I don’t know how to fix it. There are some screen shots below.
Before cut: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4600180/CropperCapture%5B83%5D.jpg
After cut: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4600180/CropperCapture%5B84%5D.jpg
The top track is just a zoom of the scoreboard displayed throughout the video. The second is the multicam cuts. The third is one of the audio tracks from one camera. I deleted the other.
Please help…

Events turn pink to alert you that they’ve gone out of sync with a related event — at least that’s been my understanding. If I have a video and audio event grouped and one of them is moved, the audio will turn pink to show me that it’s now out of sync. Everything still tight and satisfactory, though?

I don’t know, it’s not like there’s lips moving that I can tell it’s off. Bunch of cheering and hitting. I’m not really worried about it being out of sync a little, you really couldn’t tell if it was, it just bothers me that something is going wrong and I’m getting a warning and can’t figure out why. So I can still render it and everything normally? This happens every time I use the multicam feature. In the past I just deleted the audio altogether. It looses a little of it’s watchability without the cheering though…

It means it’s out of sync!
You can simply right click on the affected event, go to
Synchronize and select By Moving or By Slipping, then make
any necessary adjustment.Steve Rhoden

Yes, I understand it’s out of sync, but I’m trying to figure out why it’s getting out of sync. I’ve done no moving of either track. All I’ve done is clean multicam, and everything is still synced. Then I group all tracks, preform a split that splits every track, delete a section with autoripple turned on, so it should cut and join perfectly, then every other track turns pink. There is no reason for that to happen.
I tried the method you mention, but when I choose sync by moving, the pick section of track I am working with disappears completely.

Well, not sure why, but I selected all the tracks (clips) and ungrouped them, then went to my split point, selected those three clips and split, moved down and split again with auto ripple on, and it did it fine without the out of sync pink. Should I not group them? What is the purpose of grouping if it can’t keep everything in sync? Guess I need to read up on that feature more.

You know of course that Auto Ripple has three options? (small chevron on the right of icon) Maybe you didn’t have ‘All tracks’ selected.
