retreiving audio

[Labrisher]

“… but then id have to sinc it again.”

Syncing isn’t a big deal: just highlight the video and audio clips (hold down Shift key as you do it), right click and choose “Link Audio and Video), right click on either box at the head of the clip (the one showing the amount of and direction of the out of sync), choose “Move into Sync.)

Only caveat is make sure there’s room for the clips to move into sync position. Negative number means the clip will move to the right, positive means the opposite.

yeah i know. but what if youve unlinked it and deleated the audio. is there an easy way of just bringin the audio back .or even recreating it with audio without having to sinc the vid with the audio.

cheers anyway

You could target the video track that contains the video you want the
audio for, select that clip, mark in-to-out (I remap that to ‘T’ and
I don’t remember what the original shortcut is) then match frame while
your playhead is parked at the head of that clip (I remap that function
to the ‘M’ key so I don’t remember offhand what the default shortcut or
menu path is either without opening the program)and then just re-target
to the audio track you want to edit to and then make a overwrite edit.
Make sure to un-target the video track or you’ll replace that clip and
any settings/filters it has applied to it. Sounds like a lot of steps
and it is, but it goes pretty quickly once you get into a rythm if you
have a lot to do. Maybe there’s a better solution too…

Is this what you are looking for? Hope this helps!
