Before I start I would like to acknowledge that yes this is a daft situation to have put myself in but I did the best I could under my circumstances in order to motivate myself towards completing the project. If this means Iâve given myself a crapload of unnecessary extra work so be it, it's all part of the learning process and I was always prepared for this issue to arise. However if there is some way to avoid all that extra work I will be thrilled.
I have been working on a project using Sony Vegas 13 for a few months. For the sake of simplicity, disc space and generally given my still-amateur status as an editor I have been working from a fairly low quality rip of the source files which did not separate the audio from the video nor split the audio tracks (The edit I was working on prior, Batman Winter Sonata was a silent film so audio editing is completely new to me. I worked this way because it was more important for me to be able to editing the video into a single coherent piece and trying to do that while also juggling six audio channels was something I wanted to avoid at the time). The project is now nearing completion and I need to polish the audio editing, so I am finally upgrading the project using a full quality copy of the source with separate split audio. In terms of the video I'm hoping this wont cause any problems at all, I'm simply swapping a low quality source with a high quality source, however I assume the audio is going to be very problematic. I need to change the project's audio from a single channel to 6 channels, using a completely new source. Currently the single audio track has been cut and rearranged hundreds of times and is generally very messy.
So, does anybody have any experience upgrading a project with very edited single-channel audio and video from a non-demuxed file into multi-audio channels and have any advice for me? Has anybody else found themselves in this situation and worked a way out?
Sorry if my rambling is unclear, feel free to ask questions I will try to elucidate as much as possible.
Thanks,
FF
