Hello,

Works in Nuendo too!.

But: I want to use AES31 with Vegas (Is a request like all of your posts, ok), and I don't want to use any application more. I don't want to pay 549$ (More than Vegas), and I don't want any dongle more.

Cheers

P.D. You work for Cui Bono Soft?

No I dont work for them...Im just thinking they are our best hope right now, so Ive been emailing them and bugging them...they support AES31, but their vegas support seems odd. Maybe the stuff they are talking about in the other scripting thread, on this forum may come to bear us fruit.

Im definitely with you on this one Ramallo, 100% with you. Just the ability to say, " yeah, bring in your PT files, I can use em" would be a hefty grin on my face!

I've been looking at the published spec for AES31-3 (single copies can be downloaded free from http://www.aes.org/standards/b_pub/aes-standards-in-print.cfm in case anyone else is interested) and it seems to me that, now that V4 will have support for scripting, it should not be too difficult a task to create a script that will allow an AES31 ADL to be imported into Vegas.

I reckon it's possible I could even do it myself, although it's a long time since I did any programming and it would take me ages to get back up to speed and get anything working. But someone who's familiar with JScript could probably do it relatively quickly. Writing a script to export an AES31 ADL from Vegas looks to me like it would be rather more difficult, but for someone who really knew what they were doing, probably not impossible.

All this would depend upon what the full capabilities of the Vegas scripting aparatus are, and we haven't yet seen the documentation so it's hard to be sure, but it looks very likely to me that someone who is interested and skilled enough could come up with something very useful indeed.

OMF looks to me much more tricky to handle - it's a much more ambitious format and I wouldn't even want to start looking at doing anything with it myself, but AES31, due to its relatively modest aims and human-readable approach, should be a goer I reckon.
