Batch Slip-edit an entire track?

tim-neighbors wrote on 7/7/2021, 11:41 AM

Is there any way in Vegas or with an extension tool like Vegasaur to perform a slip edit to all events on one track?

Here's my situation: I have finished a multi-cam edit and split the multi-cam project back to multiple tracks and now realize that one of the cameras is slightly out of sync. If I simply ripple all of those events on that track back a few frames, I'll then have to go through and fix all of the ghost frames that will have created. So I want to keep the events in the same place and slip the footage those events reference over by a couple frames. I have vegasaur and I'm down to purchase happy otter scripts or other extension if that would make this possible.

Thanks for any help!

While I would certainly encourage you to purchase HOS (LOL), you can use one of the tools in my Free Tools Library, SlipSlide Tools. Here's a screen grab of the configuration settings UI.

You can then slip or slide selected events by the amount of time entered. Here's a direct link where it can be downloaded.

It's also very useful for slipping or sliding audio events since its time base is milliseconds.

Thank you!!!!! just downloaded them and it works! You just saved me a lot of time -at a time when I don't have much time to spare. Do you have a donation link?

BTW, the slip script moves in the wrong direction. Slipping Left actually slips to the right and slipping right actually slips to the left. Just thought I'd mention. -unless I just think of "slipping" in a different way?

Yes, usually slipping refers to the media inside the event wrapper. You move the media inside the wrapper to the left or to the right. The script works vice versa as the VP core slipping tool works.

@Marco.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will make necessary change. Actually, just renaming the two slip tools should work. Right? That's even easier. Ha!

Sure, renaming is fine. Maybe most users would not even notice which way the move usually is.

@tim-neighbors
In Vegasaur, you can do it with Take Offset option in the Quick Properties tool. Negative values slip events in the opposite direction:
