Is there any easier way to do this?

Hello. I want to make a video with Sony Vegas Pro, but I need to use many textboxes. And I need to be counting upwards with each of those textboxes containing a number. So textbox one contains the number one, two contains the number to and so fourth. All the way up to five hundred or something. Is there any easier way to do this that won't just have me sit around changing each textbox?

Thanks in advance.

It can be done using a script.

The "counter" feature in the Vegasaur Text Generation Wizard is one possiblity.

Magix needs to just buy all of those scripts and include them stock in the next Vegas. Almost a full version update's worth of stuff in there, but the interface is terrible.

Systems:

Desktop

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 16 thread at stock speed

64GB 3000mhz DDR4

Geforce RTX 3090

Windows 10

Laptop:

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 32GB (9980HK CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, dual 4K touch screens, main one OLED HDR)

Not an ideal solution, but do boxes 1-10, then Paste Repeat or Ctrl + B those ten boxes 10x. Then when doing 1-99, you only have to add 1 number. When done with that, Paste Repeat that five times, and you only have to again add 1 number to get to 500. Again, not ideal, but sure faster than doing individually.

Be sure to save whatever you do so you never have to do again.
