another script request... yes, it's true

Here's something that I've wanted to be able to do ever since nested projects were introduced.

I'd like a script that would allow me to create a time selection in a project and create a .veg file out of just that selection. The script would create split points in all events at the in and out point and delete all events outside of the time selection. Then it would clean the media pool of excess media and save the project under a new name.

Is this doable? It would allow me to create "scenes" that could later be dropped back in as nested projects.

thanks very much in advance...!

Yes, the script is doable. But try this:

Make your timeline selection. Choose Edit > Select All, then press Ctrl+T. You have just trimmed your entire project to the timeline selection. Turn Ripple Edit on and delete the leading space and everything will shift left into place. Push the Sweep Media Pool button and save your project under a different name.

Yea its four steps but it's doable even without a script. A script could be written to do this. You would still have to load your original project after running it. But in can be accomplished.

Thanks - that's slightly easier than what I was doing, but a "save region as .veg" feature would nice...

the script that would REALLY make me happy is the one where I can tell it to save all prject media that's not in the project folder into the project folder.
