Hi all.. new to posting here, and even newer to scripting (although I used to be an avid coder)...

I'm trying to give the Vegas way of multi-camming a spin (although I still find Excaliber 5's approach far more desirable for many many reasons), and am hoping I can enhance it as follows.

The current limitation:
In Vegas currently, pressing 1, 2, 3, etc. will just cut to that camera's take, and holding ctrl will use a default cross-fade length.

My desired workflow (which I had working great in older versions of Excaliber):
For most of my work, cross-fades are my desired default.  And during my first-pass edit, I'd like to be able to have it use a short, medium, or long cross-fade based on keyboard modifiers (e.g. 1 = short crossfade to camera 1, ctrl-1 = medium cross-fade to camera 1, 2 = short crossfade to camera 2, ctrl-2 = medium cross-fade to camera 2, etc)

Desired Script Behavior:  
I'd like to write a script that would cross-fade to a multi-cam camera with an x, y or z-second cross-fade, where x y and z are different durations.  

Any thoughts on what the best way to approach this would be?  Execute "choose camera #1" and then slip the edges of the cut to a desired length.. and a bunch of scripts, one for each camera/duration combo?
