Script Editor ?!?!

Hello,

I am at my teacher's place where I'm helping him with Acid and Vegas. I was really surprised when I noticed a tab in Vegas I had never seen : Script Editor. I know it exists in Soundforge, but I never noticed it in Vegas. Now the strange thing is, I open my laptop, fire Vegas and the "Script Editor" is nowhere to be found.

Am I Mad ?

It does exist and it can be brought up in Vegas 6 via a key combination (not documented, and I don't remember it). Very useful feature, but since it's not documented, be aware that you will be on your own if it doesn't do what you want. I find it VERY useful.

I couldn't find the thread where he posted this discovery. I'm glad someone remembered who found it and gave him credit. It has saved me a LOT of time when I fiddle with scripts.

John, I have not seen any posting by Grazie today, hope he's ok. Maybe he's doing some background footage since every news network is buying anything labeled "Birmingham or London".

I got an email from him, I think after all the excitement was over. Unless he was flying, I would not think he was affected. I have a good friend who is a 30-year veteran flight attendant with Delta and was working Heathrow to Cincinnati. Took her forever to get home.

John, this not really on topic, but don't you think Sony should put together a nice bitrate calc in the "help content" manual with examples. I would think this would help beginners and anyone that worries about "space", since dest. devices can range from PSPs to CD to DVD to BR(hopefully).

Nice to feel appreciated.

About a month ago John had been assisting me with Scenalyzer, thank you John, but now I was going "solo". However, yesterday I was about to THROW said PC out of the window, but being "chained" to it as well, well, it would've made for a neat cartoon I guess!! Wouldn;t yah know it, it was me being stupid - again! I was looking at the wrong menu and hadn't noticed the difference. Twit!

As to the script editor discovery, nothing clever on my part. I wanted to know and understand more about the Vegas Key Presses. So I went through each and every one of them. Saw this and thought of John and Edward and JR .. and . . posted what I found.

John,

I forgot to tell you that I finally bought Scenalyzer a few months ago. I absolutely love it. I don't know why I didn't heed all of your wonderful recommendations in the past and buy it sooner. It also appears to be completely capture glitch free. No audio dropouts, etc

Thank you so much.

Regards,

John

You're welcome.

As one who followed John's advice and bought Scenalyzer some time back, I noted that it also captures DV without any of the commercial 'wrappers' that otherwise prevented DV that was captured by one NLE's capture function, from being read by another's, e.g. a Ulead capture not being readable by Adobe Premiere and the like.

It also has a really great low-footprint feature for storing the recapture index files.

Johnmeyer, thanks for the link, but I have written one in c++ back in 2000, just updating for multi layer BR.

I was discussing that Sony should have it as a standard feature in vegas and vegas movie in an easy format for new users or an advance mode for the old timers.
