Convert Titles & Text into ProType Titler

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to convert the standard Vegas Titles & Text events into ProType Titler?
I like a few of the features within ProType Titler that isn't available in the normal Vegas Titles & Text... but I have a large amount of Titles & Text events in my project and manually converting each one would take ages.

Based on my programming experience, not likely. Vegas Scripting API only provides parameter editing for OFX plugins, not for DXT plugins. ProType Titler is a DXT plugin and we cannot access its parameters via scripts. Of the several Text editing tools in Vegas Pro, only Titler & Text can be edited by scripts.

I also enjoy using ProType Titler and want it to be developed further, but it was discontinued by the developers...

Using VEGAS Pro 22 build 194 & VEGAS Pro 21 build 208.

Short answer is no.

  • What CAN be done, a script can automatically add a "ProType Titler" wherever you have a Titles & Text and make it the same length.
  • What CAN'T be done, the text or any other settings cannot copied from Titles & Text and placed into the ProType Titler event.
