I'm pretty sure one was written years ago. Also, Veggie Toolkit almost does it so I sent a note to Randall about it.

Veggie toolkit's multirender tool has presets to render from one marker to the next and it works fine with Vegas 9.0's image sequence exporter, so all it needs is a preset to render from all markers to their TC+0.

I pull stills every day for web pages that support instructional videos. Normally I just pull a still, process it, and put it in the page. I'm trying to force myself to be a bit more efficient (and wasting tons of time doing it too!)

Excalibur and Ultimate S will both do this.

Of course! I should have looked there but I've just been reluctant to spend money on this, even though I know that either tool is money well spent.

In fact I'm probably remembering a script that you wrote prior to Excaliber.

Rob,
from the scripting forum comes this ThumbnailAtMarker.js ...
Evidently a fellow named Edward wrote it and it appears to work just fine except it does not name the files satisfactorily enough for the person who posted the message.

So, we are getting close...

Until that time... Earl J.

Rob,
here it is...
evidently no English language FTP site has it...

http://www.diezel.net.ua/ftps/index.php?show_dir=1&id=574015&id_res=3

I cannot speak to the reputation of the website... I did not download it...
I'm behind a firewall...
Proceed with caution and at your own peril... (grin) Perhaps someone on this list can vouch for the site...
* * * * *
By the way, under the tools tab in Vegas, there is a scripting selection... perhaps it has been added there by our Sony friends - hence its non existent popularity in the English-speaking world... (grin) You may have very well checked there by now, but I would be remiss if I did not mention it for others who may not know it is there... (and as a good reminder for myself)...
* * *

Until that time... Earl J.

Edward = jetdv :-)

Rob

I did not know that... so the author survives... and the function may gain popularity once again!
* * * * *
Went to his website... quite the workout, whew... so much stuff! He has been at it a while, it appears.
* * * * *
I guess our desires for a free script have pretty much disappeared... (grin)
I am not at my Vegas machine now, so cannot look up any scripts inside 8.0... (sigh)

Until that time... Earl J.

Yes... I live!!! :-)

If it's the same one I wrote in 2003, you would change this line to change how the file is named:

var FullFileName = Path.Combine(StoragePath, "Pic" + nameadder + ".jpg")


It was originally written for Vegas 4. I would be happy to e-mail it to anyone but it would need "SonicFoundry" changed to "Sony" and may need other changes. You could try it, though.

Just e-mail me if you want a copy of the original ThumbnailAtMarker.js script.

Hello Edward...
I really did mean "survive" in the sense that you were still involved with Sony and had not involved and evolved into other endeavors... not in the sense that you were no longer among the living (sorry) ... and a short trip to your website indicates that the Sony community has quite an advocate in you and every one of your efforts... thanks for the help...
* * *
Once installed, this function will appear in the scripts drop-down menu currently provided by Sony Vegas, yes?
I'll go over to your website and contact you from there... it is an excellent tool for me... and thank you very much for the offer.

Until that time... Earl J.

You can save it anywhere and browse to it via Tools - Scripting - Run Script.

If you put it in the Script Menu folder, it will show up in the list automatically.
