thank you very much!

Just note that that script will REMOVE the effects - not just turn them off.

It can be found here:
RemoveAllEffects.js

cool beans!

I cant seem to get this to work. I run it and it leaves all the effects on the channels

Also, is there a script to add an effect to all channels?

Yes. We have a tool at VASST called FM (Final Master) that does all this. It can add and remove FX chains from tracks or buses. Unlike Vegas, it can remove an FX chain (i.e. it remembers what FX were in the chain and only removes those FX) so you can be very precise about what you add and remove. It only costs $24 and comes with an iZotope plug-in that was developed specifically for VASST from the iZotope Ozone 3 product.

Download the 14-day trial and check it out. I know everyone loves free scripts (that’s why VASST also has a Freeware line) but a lot of work goes into some of these scripts and you get the convenience of having it all in one package with support so if it doesn’t work, you get to beat on me to fix it. ;-).

If I remember the script that Ed linked you to, you have to first select the events from which you want to remove fX. After doing that, run the script.

If you want one that ADDs an effect to all media, there was a script written about a year ago by Joe Howes called MultiFXAssigner. It looks pretty ambitious. You could look for that at one of the sites I listed before. I found this simple one -- although you have to edit it each time to add the name of the fX you want to assign. I believe that some of the commercial scripts can do this sort of thing much more easily.
