Script to restore deleted audio to video event — vegas pro 13

[László Kovács]

I know for sure Vegasaur has this functionality.
So if you don’t find that script, it may worth to give Vegasaur a try.

Best regards

László .. that script in Vegasaur must be for the original camera audio for a particular video clip .. easy enough to find and match to a video event but I can’t see this working for ‘wild sound” .. I think the OP is talking about sound from his H6 Zoom, not the camera.

I use the Mighty Excalibur by Edward Troxel. The A/V restore Icon sits loud and proud on my Toolbar.

OK, just went down Memory Lane with some Google searching. I found the script on the Calderwood site. I haven’t used the script nor can I vouch for it in any way!:

=========

/*
* (re)create audio parts on seperate audio track for all selected video events
*/

import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;

try {
// create new target audio track
var targetTrack = new AudioTrack(-1,”Missing Audio”);
Vegas.Project.Tracks.Add(targetTrack);
// step through all selected video events:
for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks) {
for (var evnt in track.Events) {
if (!evnt.Selected || evnt.MediaType != MediaType.Video) continue;
// create a fitting audio event and add to target audio track:
var audioEvent = new AudioEvent(evnt.Start,evnt.Length);
targetTrack.Events.Add(audioEvent);
// step through all events of selected video event
for (var tke in evnt.Takes)
{
// find first audio stream in this takes media
var aviFile = new Media(tke.MediaPath);
for (var stream in aviFile.Streams)
{
if (stream.MediaType != MediaType.Audio) continue;
// create new take out of this audio stream
var newTake = new Take(stream,tke.IsActive);
// add it to target audio event (must be done before anything else!!)
audioEvent.Takes.Add(newTake);
// fit offset to video event
newTake.Offset = tke.Offset;
break; // we assume there’s only one audio part in any avi file
}
}
audioEvent.Selected = true;
}
}
} catch (e) {MessageBox.Show(e);}

This needs to be reworked for the new owners of VP. Here’s that Calderwood site: https://s92274348.onlinehome.us/vegas.html

Thankyou kindly Grazie! This appears to be the ticket!

I’ve downloaded the collection of scripts via the site you referenced and what a list! I assume that some of these are outdated/redundant now?… That said, there are quite a few scripts there I have moved into my Vegas script folder as they’re great short cuts to completing more time consuming tasks (e.g “Normalize”, which normalizes audio for an entire track!).

I have tested the “Recreate Audio Events” from the collection (which is the script I assume you pasted above) and it appears do exactly what I want.

For those who want to learn a little more about installing and using scripts here’s a good video by Scott Eggleston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krySUGsudsI
