Copy Generated Media Event

MikeGW wrote on 1/6/2006, 12:42 PM

I am using the following script line to copy a generated medai event....

Vegas.Project.Tracks(RawVideoTrack).Events(0).Copy(destVideoTrack,Timecode.FromString(0));

When the generated media event is copied, it is a reference to the original. Is there a way to copy as a new object or change a refeerence to it's own object?

Thx,
Mike

I think you would have to create a new Generated Media manually but there would be no way to set it to the original unless there was a preset and you knew what it was.

So when I use a script to copy a generated media event, it is always going to make it a reference to the original? Basically, I just want to have a script that will copy generated media events onto different tracks and then I go back later and change the text manually. However, right now, when I change the text of one, it changes the text of all the events since they are being copied as a reference.

Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

As John said, just create a preset for the way you want the text to be. Then use the script to add a NEW text generated media and assign it to that preset.
