Adding VideoFX from a script in Vegas 22

Richard-N wrote on 9/4/2025, 8:01 AM

I would like to add a VideoFX to a selected clip using a .js or c# script as opposed to a compiled .dll.

1. Is this within the capability of a simple ASCII script?

2. Can I describe the various properties of a VideoFV when I apply it, or must I use a preset of that fx that already exists in the dialog?

My initial attempt will be with HSL Adjust....... Can someone please point me in the direction of a suitable example?

I have Visual Studio 2019 but I have not yet progressed to that level of complexity to be writing .dll

@Richard-N - yes you can add an effect, yes you can choose a preset. If it's an OFX effect, you can even change the individual parameters.

etc... You might want to look at all my tutorials on that YouTube channel.
