How to add CDMarker

johnmeyer wrote on 2/14/2006, 9:07 AM

I was going to help someone by modifying Ed's Add Markers to Events script to instead add CD markers. The CD Markers are a subclass, and since I don't write scripts often, I'm making some sort of rookie mistake. Here's the code, adapted from Ed's script. I just changed the two lines where the marker is assigned, and also tried to let jscript take care of the variable typing.

Any help would be appreciated.

===========

try {

  var zeroMark : Timecode = new Timecode(0);



  //Find the selected event

  var track = FindSelectedTrack();

  if (null == track)

      throw "no selected track";



  var eventEnum = new Enumerator(track.Events);

  while (!eventEnum.atEnd()) {

    var evnt : TrackEvent = TrackEvent(eventEnum.item());



    if (evnt.Start > zeroMark) {

      //Put a marker at the start point



      var myMarker = new CDMarker(evnt.Start);   // <---- These two lines!

      Vegas.Project.Markers.Add(myMarker);       //

//      Vegas.Project.CDTracks.Add(myMarker);  // This doesn't work either

//      Vegas.Project.Markers.CDTracks.Add(myMarker);  // Nor does this

    }



    eventEnum.moveNext();

  }

John, change the "if" statement to >= if you want to include an event at the beginning of the timeline. Then make these changes:



    if (evnt.Start >= zeroMark) {

      //Put a marker at the start point

      var myMarker = new CDRegion(evnt.Start, evnt.Length);   // <---- These two lines!

      Vegas.Project.CDTracks.Add(myMarker);

Thanks Ed. I guess I had brain freeze when I failed to realize that the CD "markers" are really regions. There is a CDMarker class in the API. I don't know what that refers to, but that's what I was trying to set.

This works just as I had hoped.
