The trick used to be looking at the wave form and lining up the audio while locked to the video track for each camera. Now though, Plural Eyes will do that for you automatically so it is the “trick” us video guys use. Plural Eyes will even make short work of the clips that were stopped and started again.
Too bad about the poor planning, but experience truly is the best way to learn. I bet you will never let those mistakes happen again.
Hopefully this is helpful for you.

Cinescore is no more. No more future releases and no compatibility for 64 bit. However, Sony has said that they are working on the next generation replacement for Cinescore.
The biggest benefit for me for using 64 bit is that I can use all my RAM instead of just 3.x gigs. I don’t really have any “wow!” moments going from 32 to 64 as both work really well for me.
Yes you can open your projects seamlessly between 32 and 64, but you need to take note that any fx you apply that are not 64 bit compatible will fail to load in your 64 bit version.

My opinion is that they are currently not worth the money for the amount of storage you get in return. However, If you can obtain a fast solid state drive and use it for the OS and perhaps another just for programs you might see a slight gain in speed. You can get 10,000 rpm or 15,000 rpm drives probably cheaper than the solid state drives. Shop around- you might find a great ssd.

For accurate color, you will want to invest in a tool such as the Spyder 3 monitor calibration tool. For $250 you won’t find a monitor that will be accurate out of the box unless you are lucky. However, you should be able to get a monitor (or use your current one) and use the Spyder 3 and get close to being accurate.

See my response (and others) in the Vegas pro forum under the same topic.

Hi there. Good questions by the way.
I would recommend you look at a plugin called Plural Eyes for lining up the cameras audio and video feeds on the timeline. This will make short work of having to line up the audio and video tracks by sight/sound.
You didn’t mention if the filming was continuous or if there was someone stoping the cameras at random intervals. If the former, then utilize the multicam feature built right into Vegas pro. It is under Tools. I would recommend saving the project right before you start the multicam edit and then saving it again right after you convert it to multicam so that way if a mistake was made you can go back to the pre multicam project. I would also recommend not adding the audio tracks to the multicam edit. Let them stand alone. Once you get the multicam edit enabled you should have all of your video feeds on one track and each feed will be represented as a take (if you right click and hover over take you will see a take for each video feed you have). In multicam mode you can edit as you go along by simply pressing the corresponding number key (the number is superimposed over top of the video feeds in the preview window). Edit to your hearts content and then deal with your audio mixing from ther.
One thing to note, do not do any color correction to the pre-multicam tracks or events or you will lose it when you move to a multicam project. Either do this afterwards or apply your color correction or fx to the project media pool. This will save you a lot of headache so you don’t have to edit this project the hard way 🙂

There is a circle looking button in your preview window controls (up above your preview window). Click the drop down arrow attached to that button and make sure bypass fx is not selected. That should do it for you.

The fx packages you have may not work in the 64 bit version of Vegas if they are not 64 bit fx’s. That has been my issue with the 64 bit version. Also, Cinescore does not function as a plugin in the 64 bit version. I use standard codecs so no issue there and the majority of my fx that I use are compatible. However, I wish the noise reduction from Sound Forge would work in 64 bit Vegas.
With that being said, I only run 64 bit Vegas on my laptop (core i7) and it works very well. If I want to use Cinescore I just fire it up as a standalone, pick my music, change what I want and render it out to length. So no real issue there.
On my desktop (dual quad core proc’s) I run both 32 bit and 64 bit. I have no issues with either in relation to your question.
By the way, you can install and run both versions (if you buy one, you will get a license for both).

You will want the fastest processor(s) your budget can afford. I have found great stability using an intel board with intel processors.
You will want a 64 bit capable system as well as a 64 bit operating system so you can install more than 4 gigs of ram.
You will want to install as much ram as your budget allows.
Video cards don’t matter as far as the current version of Vegas is concerned, but based on the release of the consumer version of Vegas with GPU rendering acceleration, I would buy a video card that supports CUDA.
The above is what I would focus on as far as Vegas is concerned.

I would recommend that you get Production Assistant from Sony. It will allow you to reuse the same footage in each project according to your needs and it is dead easy to set up and use. Download the trial and see if it suits your needs.
You can download the most current version here.
