I've been pouring over the various scripts for Vegas, but I can't find something that can do this. I'd like to be able to do exactly what the Vegas "File | Save As | Save Trimmed Media with file feature does, except I'd like to replace M2T files on the timeline with TRIMMED Cineform digital intermediate files instead. This way, I could do a rough cut in M2T (keeping the relationship with the HDV files on tape), then export out just the digital intermediates I need (saving archive space) for final color correction, etc.

I thought about trying to write a meta-script that would "call" several existing scripts to automate this process. I can get most of the way there by using:
- Ed Troxel's "Extend Media" script (to add "handles" to media on the timeline)
- Excalibur's Gap/Overlap to eliminate all overlaps
- Excalibur to create regions at each event
- BatchRender GUI (JHM) to render out the trimmed intermediate files.

But then, I get stuck. I'd like to be able to swap out all the events on the timeline with the new intermediate files, and save as a new VEG, but I can't find a way to do this. I also thought about trying to work with Gilles "Proxy Stream" script, but I can't figure out how to save just the trimmed files, not the whole thing.

It seems like there should be a more elegant way to do this via scripting, but I'm a scripting moron. Any ideas?
