Hmmm. If I understand you correctly you should have two (pretty) identical audio tracks, one under the other. It is a bit trial and error from here. Expand the tracks lengthways (using your mouse wheel if you have one) so that you can see the waveform better. Now look for a peak in one track that you can line up visually with the same peak in the second track.
NB. Make sure ‘ripple editing’ is off.
You can toggle the audio on and off on the top track using the ‘mute’ button in the track headers (the circle with the diagonal through it). This way you get a good idea as to how well synced they are.
Once they are playing nicely together, and again with ripple turned off, simply split (cut) the events and delete the sections you don’t want i.e. splicing. This part is very simple 🙂 -
If you right click on the video track header you will have the option to ‘insert video track’. I think this is what you are after?
Similarly with audio tracks.

Rather than try and explain, are you able to view Andrew Devis’s great tutorial (series) at https://library.creativecow.net/articles/devis_andrew/Sony-Vegas-Pro_40/video-tutorial
It should help resolve your issue.

Oh, and one other thing. I think you are actually getting a bit too complicated with the effects ! I noticed you have rather a few (read several) vfx in the chain, many of which were not activated (I’d say you have tried a couple of strategies and when they didn’t work . . . . . . Not really an issue but I can see your line of thinking and methinks you are, as I said above, making it more complicated than it really is. The answer is there somewhere and it will be so simple when you find it. Bah!!!

Ha ha. Good to see you haven’t given up yet!
I am afraid I have only pent a little time with your veg file, trying to get a likeness to your ‘pops’, but without getting close enough yet.
And unfortunately I am off to Bali for 3 or 4 months tomorrow so won’t be able to continue with the heavy stuff, i.e my desktop computer.
Still very interested to see how you go though and if I get the chance, I will certainly be trying a bit harder myself!!
Good luck and keep us posted, definitely.

Once you have placed the portion of the clip that you want (now an ‘event’) on the timeline, right click it and create a subclip. Now apply the stabilizing effect to that subclip via tools/video/mediaFX/stabilize).
Should work. -
Glenn. Sounds like you are dragging the EDGE of the second part of your event which simply expands the event and adds back what you have deleted. You need to select the event itself (place the cursor somewhere in the middle of the clip without selecting either the fx or the pan/crop icons) and slide it into place; using auto ripple too probably.
-
Great example. Colour correction on a piece of media I can fully understand. Saves copy/pasting the fx to every event of that piece of media you place onto the timeline.
Thanks John. -
Nice John. Very short and simple. I muust admit I have never really managed to grasp the difference between adding effects to events and to the media. Maybe timecode fx is a good example.
But thanks! -
Try rendering out your time code clip as a separate file. Use say a green solid colour from the media generator as background for your clip to apply the time code to then import back into your main project. Apply the chroma keyer to remove the green then use as an overlay track on your main project. You should then be able to adjust the velocity envelope. Not sure how the various speed variations will ‘line up’ with your main clip but it’s a start. Good luck.
