Hi, I am new to scripting and currently looking into the scripting API of Vegas for one of my projects. I need to transcode some video files before working with them. From my limited research, I haven't found any direct functionality provided by the API that can help me transcoding video files. My question is, is there any functionality provided by the scripting API for transcoding?
I am using Magix Vegas Pro 18.
Thank you for your help.
@MdSiyamSajeeb-Khan Can’t help you with scripting. “I need to transcode some video files before working with them”
Why not just transcode the video clips prior to loading into vp? Handbrake, WWAAGS tools and the vfr2cfr util via my signature can all do it plus probably about another 100 utils😂.
FFMPEG is also useful for transcoding.
You might take a look at my tutorials. Especially the 6 part series on rendering.
Thank you. Is it possible for you to share the codes?
@MdSiyamSajeeb-Khan, The tutorials do show how to code in VEGAS. I go through the exact code you need to perform these tasks. You might want to start at the beginning - what do I need to write scripts in VEGAS and then proceed to the six part rendering series.
Take a look at the Batch Render script that comes with VEGAS - good starting point.
The topic title implies that OP wants to write his own transcoding script.
The batch render script that comes with Vegas is a great place to start. It's lightweight code you can edit with notepad. Not designed to render multiple clips unless you put each clip into a region. Then you can render all your regions. I started with that about 8 years ago and figured it out enough to modify it to name my renders in the way I needed... essentially just with a numeric prefix and the region name.
Jetdv's approach is much better. Will probably be a harder climb unless you're already familiar with Visual Studio. But do it and you'll be glad you did. I can just hear Marie saying, "It's easy. You watch the tutorials, then you write the scripts."
