Announcing the official release of Excalibur : Tools to slice through your editing tasks.

Excalibur was created by Edward Troxel and Gary Kleiner and includes 12 Wizards (tools) that are designed to speed you through many editing tasks, and are accessed through a pop-up interface that integrates seamlessly with Vegas.


Excalibur Wizards:


· Sync Wizard: Makes it a snap to synchronize any combination of video and audio events.

· Mutlicam Wizard: Instantly creates a finished edit with cuts and dissolves according to your instructions. Has to be seen to be believed!

· Gap Wizard: Automatically deletes spaces between timeline events with optional dissolves. Perfect for creating photo or video montages faster than you ever have before.

· Voice-Over Wizard: Takes less than a second to place volume envelopes to raise and lower the volume of an audio track based on wherever you have placed your narration.

· Orphan Wizard: Instantly places missing audio or video events back in your timeline in sync with their video or audio "parents."

· Unsplit Wizard returns events that have numerous splits to their original state.

· Velocity Wizard allows to you easily set a playback speed for your clip and automatically lengthens the event in the timeline to match the new duration.

· Marker Wizard automatically places markers at intervals or at the beginning of each clip. Perfect for making chapter stops for DVDs.

· Randomize Wizard shuffles clips in random order.

· Solo Wizard turns Solo on for selected track, and off for all other tracks.

· Align A/V Wizard restores sync to Video/Audio pairs.

· Fade Wizard allows you to set and apply specific fade lengths or fade to current cursor position. Also allows you to apply fades with a simple keystroke!

CD with printed manual $36.00 USD

Hey, that sounds pretty cool! Best luck.

BTW, "Solo Wizard turns Solo on for selected track, and off for all other tracks" can already be done without a script, just Ctrl+click on mute/solo buttons or use Shift+Z and Shift+X. It's called "exclusive mute / exclusize solo". Alt+Shift+Up/Down Arrows change the track focus.

If you want to see something really cool, select a MUTED track and run solo wizard - you end up with a MUTED SOLO'd track! Plus, it will solo ALL selected tracks - not just an "exclusive solo".

Somebody tell me when a Sony/Vegas lab/office will open in the L.A. area. I'll quit my job with this wacky New York company and move out there.

Whew--it's Friday...

Alex, thanks for the nice comments. I just want to also acknowledge Gary Kleiner's contributions. Without Gary's ideas, testing, and suggestions - this product would not exist today. Thank you Gary.
