@wwaag It crashes over here if I change the frame rate

Vegas settings;

Project 3840X2160X32; 50P

Preview 1920X1080X32; 50P

the KP settings;

AVC ; Nvenc

Frame Height 720

Frame Rate 25

Use handbrake to transcode it to smoother video, for example mpeg. And rename this new video to something like "xxxx.mp4.sfvp0" 😄

"It crashes over here if I change the frame rate". That option should probably be disabled completely if you use the Vegas Auto option. In fact, it should probably be eliminated altogether. Having mixed frame rates can lead to all sorts of issues. Moreover, V18 is very "picky" about what files will be considered Proxies with the sfvp0 extension. Earlier versions could use any file format, so long as it had the sfvp0 extension. In testing, I even replaced an mp4 with a jpg file and it still worked OK.

While the AutoVegas option works OK most of the time in V18 (proxy creation using QSV also seems problematic), the most fool-proof way is to create proxies and then use the replacement or swap method.

@wwaag I ran into it and I thought it was worth mentioning it.

I used KP same frame rate on 250 clips 50fps

Let it run over night , worked like a charm ;-)

@Wiew

Thanks for the info. It did point a potential problem that users might experience. There are 3 ways to create proxies using HOS, each with their own advantages and potential pitfalls. One in particular is to avoid the use of ProxyAssist, which creates proxies for "events" rather than an entire media file, in multicamera projects. Both make use of Takes which can result in the inability to switch between the proxy and the original.

Hi @wwaag I tried using KP in new project but it didn't work for me for different reasons. First it requires to drop a folder which contains the video files in the root directory. KP did not search in subfolders which contains most video files. Then I used Vegasaur Batch Media Import which can find all media files in root and subfolders to import all required files in one click. Then I tried to use KP and find that it does not support dragging files from the Project Media so I ended up using the built in vegas proxy command. I hope you can update KP so it support dropping files from Project Media and support finding all files in subfolders not just root folder. Alos good idea to have buttons to add files or folders instead of only dropping cos i did not find the button mentioned in KP as shown in screenshot

ps. why kp requir to save project first? somtimes i just want to try things without saving the project

@yassera-s

Thanks for your input.

1. Search subfolders. Good idea plus an easy one. Will add to next build.

2. Add from Project Media. Already there. Just select the media from the Project Media window and click on the blue frame button as shown.

3. "good idea to have buttons to add files" Already there. Two buttons--one to add folders and the other to add files.

4. KP plus most other tools require that the project be saved. Since most HOS tools involve rendering, one option in all dialogs is to render to the Project folder/subfolder which doesn't exist without the project being saved. Plus there are internal script functions that often require that the project location be known. For testing, I always just save to "Untitled" and then overwrite it the next time.

@wwaag Many thanks for the information and clearing the confusion. However I overlooked the buttons of importing media (Project Media and Add buttons) because they are located under the Proxy Option which dose not make sense to me. When I saw the Proxy Option i never though it would include adding media files! In my opinion it would make much more sense if those buttons were placed on separate part as demonstrated here for example:

I hope you can update the extension to make it easier and more obvious to find those buttons.

Thanks for the suggestions. I made a few changes as shown. I really didn't want to change the width of the listbox since it's already pretty narrow.

The search subfolder now works. Plus, if you select the Vegas Auto option, the framerate dropdown list is disabled. If you want to try the new script, it can be downloaded here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/v98hky6433tb50q/KwikProxy.dll?dl=0

Download and copy to the following folder. C:\ProgramData\HappyOtterScripts\Magix Vegas Pro\Scripts. Just make sure that windows has not blocked the file which occurs quite frequently with files downloaded from DropBox.

@wwaag wow man that was super fast update and it looks far better than before. Highly appreciate your dedication and response. So I copied the new file to the folder mentioned above and restarted vegas but it still show the old script! Any idea?

I think I know the problem. It assumes that you are using OtterBar, OtterInfoBar or OtterMenu to launch scripts. If you are using the Vegas script menu folder, you must replace the KwikProxy file in the HappyOtterScripts folder (C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 18.0\Script Menu\Happy Otter Scripts) with the one you just downloaded. If not, it will launch the old version.

I see. Ok will try that tomorrow and let you know the outcome. Thanks for your help.

@wwaag hi .. I copied the file to the location you mentioned then started vegas and when i run the script i get this error:

when i try to ron kp from OtterMenu nothing happen

@wwaag maybe it will be better if you update the whole HOS suite and I will just reinstall it.

@yassera-s

Try it from OtterBar. If nothing happens, it's probably best to wait until next build is released.

@wwaag I tried that and same problem. I reinstalled HOS to bring everything back to as it used to be, but after installing it I got this error:

And now when I run any HOS script vegas crash!
