I wish you a great trip through Spain, my second favorite destination.

@3POINT thanks! @jetdv thank you too!

So, @3POINT, you mention a script?? 😁

I just got a message from @jetdv that he has no objections for publishing his autolevel script, so here we go:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime;
using System.Xml;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

namespace Test_Script
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public Vegas myVegas;

        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                if (myTrack.IsVideo())
                {
                    foreach (TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events)
                    {
                        if (evnt.Selected)
                        {
                            VideoEvent vEvnt = (VideoEvent)evnt;

                            string plugInUID = "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:colorgrading}";
                            PlugInNode fx = myVegas.VideoFX;
                            PlugInNode plugIn = fx.GetChildByUniqueID(plugInUID);

                            Effect effect = new Effect(plugIn);
                            vEvnt.Effects.Add(effect);

                            OFXEffect ofx = effect.OFXEffect;
                            OFXIntegerParameter p2 = (OFXIntegerParameter)ofx["AutoAdjust"];
                            p2.Value = 1;
                            p2.ParameterChanged(OFXParameter.DISABLE_MEDIA_CLOSE);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

public class EntryPoint
{
    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
    {
        Test_Script.Class1 test = new Test_Script.Class1();
        test.Main(vegas);
    }
}

 

Regarding this script, what should the file name an extension be? And what exactly does it do?

You can copy the script text into Notepad and save it as autolevel.txt into the script folder of your Vegas program folder. Then change the extension of the autolevel.txt in autolevel.cs, after rescanning script folder or after restarting Vegas the autolevel script will show up under Tools/scripts.

What it does, after running the script, all selected video events on the timeline will be auto color level corrected. Depending on how many events this will take a few seconds.

Also you can assign the script to a button on the Vegas toolbar, auto color leveling of selected events will than be done with a single mouse click.

I added it yesterday. Thanks!

I added it yesterday. Thanks!

And does it work as promised? With this script no need to dive into the color grading panel for each event.

Yep! Just depends on the overall event that it is being applied.

Thank you I look forward to trying it as I hate trying to do color correction, I'm never satisfied with the result

Is the script you shared the same as this: https://tools4vegas.com/auto-color-grading/ ?

It isn't the same script.

@3POINT wow, that script actually worked, and did a very nice job auto color correcting; thank you so much for sharing it with us.
