Copy Volume Envelope

ram17 wrote on 7/29/2019, 12:40 AM

This script by JETDV has been very helpful to me, its main function is to copy velocity envelopes. But now, I want to change its function to "copy volume envelopes" so I need your help in scripting knowledge here, or maybe someone has this type of script already. I have Vegasaur but I do not know if it have this functionality.

Edit: Sorry edited my post, I want to change it to be able to 'copy volume envelopes'

I haven't tried this script and by no means do I understand most of it but what you have shown seems like it is copying Velocity envelopes.

I base that on looking over the API definitions which can be found here.

http://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/downloads/#c24726

My thought was that you may need to just replace the command defined for volume envelopes with the velocity envelope.

However, the API shows

EnvelopeType.Volume = audio track volume

and

EnvelopeType.Velocity = video event velocity

So what I am able to understand is that the script you posted already shows "EnvelopeType.Velocity" syntax within it but doesn't show "EnvelopeType.Volume" which makes me think it's written for velocity envelopes.

I just paste event attributes. Maybe selectively.... :)

My bad, it's the reverse of the function of the script I need. I edited my post. Thanks.

@Rednroll Trying to modify it using the Script API as a guide.

I assume that you want to "copy" a volume envelope from a "source" track and "paste" it on to another "target" track. Since volume envelopes are a track function, I would suggest doing this. First, duplicate the source track containing the volume envelope. Then delete the events, making sure that the "Lock Envelolpes to Events" button on the bottom Taskbar is not depressed. Next, copy the events from the "target" track into the duplicate track. While not as elegant as a dedicated script, it's pretty simple.

If you're still interested in writing a script, let me know and I can provide you snippets of C# code I just wrote for "bypassing" and then "restoring" volume and pan envelopes as part of HOS, which is essentially cutting and pasting.

@wwaag

Yes, that's the thing I needed, just like the function of the script above which is select the source event then paste to other selected/target video events. So, I want to change it to same function of the script but for copying audio events envelopes only. Tried to modify it but there's an error.

I wish Vegas adds this function to the 'selective paste attributes' of audio events.

@ram17

"copying audio events envelopes only".

Again, volume envelopes are associated with tracks, not events. AFAIK, you cannot paste a volume envelope for just an event, although the points might only pertain to a single event. For that reason, "I wish Vegas adds this function to the 'selective paste attributes of audio events." seems unlikely.

I'll try to post some code snippets tomorrow.

You can use Vegas' Envelope Edit Tool to copy envelopes between tracks

Thanks to altarvic & Veg, I learned something important again. Also for wwaag for his script & getting back at me.
