Is there a way to delete a marker at the current cursor position using a keyboard shortcut? (Or do nothing if there isn't one?)
There doesn't seem to be a command to delete a marker at current position on the timeline, or I could create a shortcut with Customize Keyboard..
So far the only way I can see is to right-click on the marker and then press D (for delete).
Any ideas or suggestions? Do I need a script?
Thanks
Gary, I believe you would need a script and then assign that script to a keypress. The script could then delete any markers if one existed under the cursor. In fact, the Delete Markers tool in Excalibur will do that if you have it set to selection area only. You would also need Vegas set to "collapse loop region". Then you could add the individual "Delete Markers" tool to a keypress and it will delete any marker under the cursor.
I am not sure where the 'saving' is going to be. jetdv's approach still requires the user to at the minimum select a selection area before hitting the appropriate script key. It still seems to be at least a 2 step process (unless multiple markers are involved) which seems to me to be more complicated than simply 'highlighting the marker and hit D'. I've not found that an onerous problem myself.
The "Delete" key works for markers if you enabled the marker tool before (on the upper right corner of the timeline). Though this isn't to delete a marker at the current cursor position but to delete selected markers.
For several or selective marker deletions, I edit the Edit Details window.
Musicvid, thanks for the information, I never knew there was an Edit Details window. I often have to remove a bunch of markers that are no longer needed. Just one of many things I didn't know about VP after 10+ years of using it. Now I need to remember it is there 😀 Thanks again,
Rich
WWaag wrote me a simple little script as jetdev suggested above. Thank you.
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;
namespace DeleteMarkerAtCursor
{
public class EntryPoint
{
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
Timecode add = Timecode.FromMilliseconds(500);
Timecode start = vegas.Transport.CursorPosition - add;
Timecode end = vegas.Transport.CursorPosition + add;
foreach (Marker m in vegas.Project.Markers)
{
if (m.Position >= start && m.Position <= end)
{
vegas.Project.Markers.Remove(m);
goto endofcode;
}
}
endofcode:;
}
}
}
