Chop-off Front Script

First of all CTTO of this script. Thank you.

I just want some help on what line/s to change in this script to chop of the end of a clip. It was programmed to chop off the start.

I'm not a geek of programming language so I need some favor on this. Thanks.

try {
  var ChopDist : Timecode = new Timecode("00:00:00:20");
  var mtc : Double;

  //Go through the list of Tracks
  var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks);
  while (!trackEnum.atEnd()) {
    var track : Track = Track(trackEnum.item());

    //Go through the list of Events
    var eventEnum = new Enumerator(track.Events);
    while (!eventEnum.atEnd()) {
      var evnt : TrackEvent = TrackEvent(eventEnum.item());

      if (evnt.Selected) {

        mtc = ChopDist.ToMilliseconds();
        var dStart : Double = evnt.Start.ToMilliseconds();
        var dLength : Double = evnt.Length.ToMilliseconds();
        var dStart = dStart + mtc;
        var dLength = dLength - mtc;

        evnt.AdjustStartLength(new Timecode(dStart), new Timecode(dLength), false);

      }
      eventEnum.moveNext();
    }
    trackEnum.moveNext();
  }


} catch (e) {
    MessageBox.Show(e);
}

Change:

 

mtc = ChopDist.ToMilliseconds();        

var dStart : Double = evnt.Start.ToMilliseconds();        

var dLength : Double = evnt.Length.ToMilliseconds();        

var dStart = dStart + mtc;        

var dLength = dLength - mtc;        

evnt.AdjustStartLength(new Timecode(dStart), new Timecode(dLength), false);

 

 

to:

 

mtc = ChopDist.ToMilliseconds();

evnt.Length = new Timecode(evnt.Length.ToMilliseconds() - mtc);
