FCE: I accidently deleted matching audio clips to video clips in a sequence. Is there anyway to restore the video clips corresponding audio clips in the sequence without doing it manually? (All the source material is still in the bin)

Okay basically I have arranged a number of clips that have included audio in a sequence. Unfortunately, all the audio clips somehow got deleted (in the sequnce not in the original source) and I have not backed up the project. Is there anyway to match the audio clips with their corresponding video clips? (I still have the original sources in the bin).

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

There is no simple way to restore that audio to multiple clips on the timeline, but you can go to your Autosave Vault and open a previous version of your project, hopefully a fairly recent version where the audio is not yet deleted.

FCE automatically and periodically saves a protection copy of your project at a preset interval in the Autosave Vault.

More info on page 937 of the FCE manual.
