Automatic script

Sr_Garcia wrote on 8/1/2024, 2:28 AM

For more efficient editing, I've created several scripts to have a "shortcut" to the effects.
(example:This example is the one that doesn't work)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import ScriptPortal.Vegas;
import System.Windows.Forms;
import Microsoft.Win32;

var plugInName = " Enfoque de VEGAS por IA ";
var presetName = "Default";

try
{
for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks) {
for (var evnt in track.Events) {
if (!evnt.Selected || evnt.MediaType != MediaType.Video) continue;

var fx = Vegas.VideoFX;

var plugIn = fx.GetChildByName(plugInName);
if (null == plugIn) {
throw "could not find a plug-in named: '" + plugInName + "'";
}

var effect = new Effect(plugIn);
evnt.Effects.Add(effect);
if (null != presetName) {
effect.Preset = presetName;
}
}
}
}
catch (errorMsg)
{
MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried to create one for the new AI Sharpening option but there is some problem (error) and I can't solve it.
Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks!

@Sr_Garcia Use its Unique ID to find it:

var plugInUID = "{Svfx:de.magix:AiSharpen}";

...

var plugIn = fx.GetChildByUniqueID(plugInUID);

Thank you for your reply.
My problem is that I am completely unfamiliar with the script creation process.

I create an icon (16x16) that I place on the toolbar. From this icon I run the script directly. The thing is that after replacing the lines of the original script (which does not work) with what you have indicated, it still gives an error.

Would you be so kind as to completely modify the original script with the appropriate instructions so that it works?

Thank you very much!!

@Sr_Garcia First of all: When you say there's a problem in your code, please include the error message.

You didn't include it, so let me guess, you didn't change this line:

throw "could not find a plug-in named: '" + plugInName + "'";

In your code, plugInName should have been replaced by plugInUID. In that case, it shouldn't be present here. Change it to anything else, it's just a non-issue.

ALL OK!!
Thanks for your help
My ignorance regarding scripts is total... without your instructions I would never have achieved it.

Thank you very much!!!

@Sr_Garcia

below is a working version, a bit different, but it works

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;
using System.Text;

public class EntryPoint
{
   Vegas myVegas;
   public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
   {
       myVegas = vegas;
       foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
       {
           if (myTrack.IsVideo())
           {
               foreach(TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events)
               {
                   if (evnt.Selected)
                   {
                       VideoEvent vEvent = (VideoEvent)evnt;
                       string plugInUID = "{Svfx:de.magix:AiSharpen}";
                       PlugInNode fx = myVegas.VideoFX;
                       PlugInNode plugIn = fx.GetChildByUniqueID(plugInUID);
                       Effect effect = new Effect(plugIn);
                       vEvent.Effects.Add(effect);
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
}

Thanks bitman and jetdv!!
I'll keep that in mind, but it's VERY COMPLICATED for me to understand the procedure since I have no training on scripts.

I'm sure that if I want to do any "experiment" with scripts, I'll have to ask for help again. 😏

Thanks to both of you. !!
