Mine works fine for me in Vegas Pro 10. Did you change the path to point to your graphics editor? What error are you getting?

Here it is again right from my PC where I've been using it all morning in SVP10. You have to change the String graphicsProgram = ... to point to your graphics program:

In Gilles Pialat script there is an error in configurator script and it's impossible to set up location of editor exe file.

Please, can you add more details.
My script works fine here with VP10.

Hi John,

Thank you for answer. It has showed me, that mistake is on my side : error in copying, "code block" as a part of script.

Now scripts works properly.

Best regards,

Hi Rosebud,

I can't run main script, because before I have to run SETTINGS script (to set up path for graphic editor and to decide open and edit original or take. I run SETTING script, browse for path, decide "as take" and when push OK error message appears :

PS> SVP10 64 is installed as only one instance of Vegas on this computer (there was no upgrade from 8,9 as usually).

What do you mean "reinstall" ? I have only DDLs and PNG file and I'm just copying them to :

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 10.0\Script Menu

Best regards.

Hi Rosebud,

One more remark :

can execute SETTING script from :

C:\Users\RRA\AppData\Roaming\Sony\Vegas Pro\Application Extensions

... and it creates "Open In Graphic Editor Setting.config" file.

But in this case can't run V1 without error and can't see OpenInGraphicEditor in script list under "Customize Toolbar" command.

My system is Windows 7 64 Ulimate.

Best regards,
