CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS SCRIPT???

I would gladly pay money for a script that would simply copy and paste all the text in my generated media to a single text generated media and then I could just copy that one file to Word and get it checked for spelling and know where/what I need to change.

It's easily worth 20-30 bux to me.

Dave, why not do your text in Word first and then copy/paste to Vegas?
I've done this for things like credit rolls numerous times.

Is "spell-checker" on the Vegas wish list?

If not, good idea!

It's much easier for me to select/setup everything in Vegas, get the layout right everything and if I have to keep jumping over to word to type up my stuff it takes time. - much more time than having it all able to copy/paste into word in a few seconds.

Automating Titles

There are dozens of other posts in the script forum from Ed and Johnny that confirm this: You cannot put or get text to or from Vegas. Bummer.

I looked at the VEG file, and you can definitely see the text from the text events there. It would be pretty easy to write some code (not in Vegas, but outside of Vegas) to parse the VEG file and extract the text. You could then spell check in Word. However, there would be no easy way to put the text back. The problem is that you might add more text, or a paragraph mark, or who knows what, and when the program attempted to stuff the text back into the VEG file, bad things might happen. However, if you at least know where the bad words are, you could then manually make the changes in Vegas.

So, in summary, it shouldn't be a big deal to extract the text directly from the VEG file, but putting it back would be tough.

maybe I misunderstand, but I'm not trying to take the text out of vegas with the script - I just want to have it all in one text generated media that I can then select and copy paste myself into word.

Thanks

(Edit: just looked at the thread (that never hurts huh?) and I saw that it infact is not possible to move text from one gen media to another within Vegas)
