Here's a script I just wrote that will disable resample on all events on all tracks. Just one click and it's done. Copy and paste into Notepad, and save with the extension ".js"

import System.Windows.Forms;

try {

    for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks) {

       if (track.IsVideo()) {                          // Proceed only if video track.

	  for (var trackEvent in track.Events)  {

             trackEvent.ResampleMode = VideoResampleMode.Disable;

          }

       }

    }

}

catch (errorMsg)

{

	MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

}

Thx for the quick reply, im kind of a noob when it comes to scripts, This looks great tho, can you step me through how to use this.

Thx again

Mike

Wow me too

You copy/paste from my post into Notepad, and save the file with the extension ".js"

If you prefer, I just uploaded the file to an ftp site, and you can just download the file:

Disable Resample.js

You then put this file anywhere on your computer, but if you want it to appear in the Vegas script menu, you need to put it in the Vegas script folder (see the help file for its location).

To use it, you simply click on Tools --> Scripting. If you put the script in the Vegas scripting folder, it will show up in this menu; otherwise, click on Run Script, and navigate to the location where you put the script. As soon as you click on the script, all video events on the timeline will have resample set to "disable."

To really speed things up, you can use the "Customize Keyboard" or "Customize Toolbar" to assign this script to a shortcut key or menu item.

I always disable resample whenever changing frame rates for film, such as going from 12, 15, 16, 18, or 24 fps (common film speeds) to 29.97 interlaced. If you disable resample, Vegas will produce correct "pulldown" (duplicated fields, not duplicated frames) so the film plays at the correct speed, but without the blended fields that resampling produces. The problem with blended fields is that they look soft.

You can use the "Selection Edit Tool" and drag over all of the clips on the timeline you want to change.
Then right click on one of the selected/highlighted clips: Switches>Disable Resample and it will change all to Disable Resample.

You can also, with the Normal Edit tool (or Selection Edit Tool), hold down the keyboard Ctrl button while clicking on each clip to select/highlight then choose Switches>Disable Resample to disable all selected.

Here's another script SetResample.zip

Gives the user the following options:

After executing the script,
..does it change all files' switches from then on?
...do you execute that script once all of the affected files are on the timeline/for example, before render?
...or do you have to keep executing the script every time you introduce a new clip to the timeline (while the previous clips were already disabled)?

@mx1497

Are you speaking of my script? If so, (and I think this would apply to any script) it only sets the resample properties of the video events on the timeline when the script is executed. If you add new events, then you would need to re-execute the script.

@amendegw

Yes, that does answer my question.

I wasn't sure if it would just permanently affect the timeline or not.
Thanks,
