Detecting and repairing audio and video synchronization problems
When audio and video events are not aligned, Vegas software will highlight the events in the timeline so you can see synchronization problems at a glance.
The software determines whether events are synchronized by comparing grouped and overlapping events:
•An event in a group is compared to other events in the same group (of the opposite media type) that were created from the same media, and the events with the most overlap are used to calculate synchronization. If no events overlap, the closest events are used to calculate synchronization.
•An event that is not in a group is compared to events (of the opposite media type) that were created from the same media, and the events with the most overlap are used to calculate synchronization. If no events overlap, no synchronization offset is displayed.
Note: The amount of offset is displayed when the Active Take Information option is selected on the View menu. Very small offsets that are below the resolution of the timeline may be displayed as 0.00. Set the project time format to samples to see the offset amount.
To restore synchronization,

Deleting events
Deleting an event removes it from its track. Multiple events can be deleted and time selections can be used to modify the process. Ripple editing also applies to delete actions. Deleting operates exactly like a cutting operation, but the removed information is not placed on the clipboard. For more information, see Cutting events on page 100.
