thx, i search a free script file

also is there an easy way to pair 2 selected event for 3D? a hotkey? right mouse click and search the command is not fast.

After pairing L-R clips, i alway add stereo 3D fx, press "Corrections" triangle and hit and the "Auto correct" button.

Very time consuming for project with many events. Is it possible to make a script for this and call with hotkey?

I use V11 and V12.

thanks a lot

You can apply the stereoscopic plugin at the track Level, after you have finished your cutting, and work with keyframes.

Another way would be to copy the Event Attributes and paste it to all the other Events. BUT you still have to open the plugin and edit the stereoscopic Settings.

From my experience with s3D I cannot imagine that a full automatisation makes a lot of sense - since you have to adjust the disparity anyway from take to take in most cases.

also is there an easy way to pair 2 selected event for 3D? a hotkey? right mouse click and search the command is not fast.

If the footage is mvc footage from cameras like the TD10/20/30 or the Z10K, this footage is imported paired if you Import it when you have s3D Settings in the project settings.

If you shoot with two cameras, sorry to say so: but then you have to pair it manually.

The trick can be that you arrange all your Clips in the timeline in two tracks - mark the total number of Clips; and pair them in the next step. Not sure if that works, I have not the footage here - but give that a try.

Yes, we already taked about track fx before, but no, i dont want to play with keyframes. My editing workflow cannot allow this.. I dont want a full automatisation, just want to eliminate pressing the triangle and hit "auto correct".

Of course footage from 3D camcorders are paired automatically. I work in 3D since 2008 :)
I asked about 2 cam setup. For many command we can have a script, why we can't for pairing for 3D?

But have you tried to organize - for example - 15 Events in the timeline, in two tracks; and pair them all together? That would bring up the Performance as first step.

And if you wish to use "Auto correct" - do that. But that could be done also if you apply the fx as track effect, enable keyframes, navigate to the beginning of the Event, all the time the fx window open - and use there the Auto correction function. That would bring up your workflow Performance again, because you do not have to open the fx window for every Event - you open it ones and set your keyframes.

Both steps will also work for a two camera Setup.

FWIW: For my GoPro dive videos I auto correct a representative surface clip, then copy and paste attributes to apply the resulting 3D adjustments to the underwater clips. Later, I review and adjust the convergence on a clip-by-clip basis.

This assumes the camera alignment doesn't change during the dive. Vegas can't auto correct underwater footage.

Vegas used to be able to automatically pair 3D gopro footage, but the file numbering scheme changed with the Hero 3+ cameras and Vegas pairs them out of sync, even if the file numbers are corrected. I have to put the raw clips into separate directories to keep Vegas from auto-pairing them. Manual pairing works fine, though.

thx

i also copy and paste attributes sometimes, when i dont change camera orientation, zoom, etc. But thats a rare case.

This question still interest me. Any script?

Sure, Vegasaur can do this, but the price is too much for this function.

Still impossible in Vegas22? :)

@relaxvideo you can do it yourself. Here's a tutorial that shows how to add an effect to an event. Just change the effect added to the effect you want added.

Then here's a tutorial showing how you can change the effect tutorials:

It might also help to watch some of the other tutorials around these two which show how to get the parameter names, and effect names, for example.

Thanks jetdv,

so (hopefully) something changed since you wrote this in another topic in 2018?

No, that is not possible. It can add the FX but cannot "press a specific button"

You can try this:

Thanks, tried with no luck.
Vegas drop an error message:

The „evnt” name doesn't appear/occur in this environment.

I am a beginner in scripting :)
Please help, my .cs code was:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

public class EntryPoint
{
    Vegas myVegas;
    
    public void Main(Vegas vegas)
    {
       myVegas = vegas;    
     
       VideoEvent vEvent = (VideoEvent)evnt;

                        foreach(Effect effect in vEvent.Effects)
                        {
                            if (effect.PlugIn.Name == "Stereoscopic 3D Adjust")
                            {
                                if (effect.PlugIn.IsOFX)
                                {
                                    OFXEffect ofx = effect.OFXEffect;
                                    foreach (OFXParameter ofxparm in ofx.Parameters)
                                    {
                                        if (ofxparm.ParameterType.ToString() == "PushButton" && ofxparm.Name == "Auto correct")
                                        {
                                            ofxparm.ParameterChanged();
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }                 
                           

    }
    
}

@relaxvideo Then you might need to start learning the script from scratch.

Anyway, here's one that works:

using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

namespace Test
{
    public class TestClass
    {
        public Vegas myVegas;
        public const string UID_3D_ADJUST = "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:Filters.Stereoscopic3DAdjust}";
        public const string UID_3D_ADJUST_SONY = "{Svfx:com.sonycreativesoftware:Filters.Stereoscopic3DAdjust}";
        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            PlugInNode plug3DAdjust = myVegas.VideoFX.FindChildByUniqueID(UID_3D_ADJUST) ?? myVegas.VideoFX.FindChildByUniqueID(UID_3D_ADJUST_SONY);

            if (plug3DAdjust == null)
            {
                myVegas.ShowError("PlugIn Not Found.");
                return;
            }

            foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                if (myTrack.IsVideo())
                {
                    foreach (TrackEvent ev in myTrack.Events)
                    {
                        if (ev.Selected)
                        {
                            VideoEvent vEvent = ev as VideoEvent;
                            foreach (Effect ef in vEvent.Effects)
                            {
                                if (ef.PlugIn.IsOFX && ef.PlugIn.UniqueID == plug3DAdjust.UniqueID)
                                {
                                    OFXEffect ofx = ef.OFXEffect;
                                    foreach (OFXParameter ofxparm in ofx.Parameters)
                                    {
                                        if (ofxparm.ParameterType.ToString() == "PushButton" && ofxparm.Name == "AutoAlignButton")
                                        {
                                            ofxparm.ParameterChanged();
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

public class EntryPoint
{
    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
    {
        Test.TestClass test = new Test.TestClass();
        test.Main(vegas);
    }
}

There're some basic methods, such as getting selected events from the current project through two "foreach", which you need to keep in mind.

If you are writing a general script, you'd better not use strings affected by the local language (Effect.PlugIn.Name, OFXParameter.Label, etc.). Instead, switch to unchanging strings (Effect.PlugIn.UniqueID, OFXParameter.Name, etc.). Your "Auto correct" is an OFXParameter.Label affected by the local language. Besides, you might want to ask where "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:Filters.Stereoscopic3DAdjust}" and "AutoAlignButton" came from. My approach is to directly search from the OFX language files, such as "C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 22.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins\Filters.ofx.bundle\Contents\Resources\Filters.xml". You can find many infos about OFX plugins that comes with VEGAS Pro here.

I also found that in higher versions (I'm not sure which one, but I can make it work in VP22), you can use:

if (ofxparm is OFXPushButtonParameter && ofxparm.Name == "AutoAlignButton")
{
    OFXPushButtonParameter pushButton = ofxparm as OFXPushButtonParameter;
    pushButton.Trigger();
}

Wow, what a different script, with different names.

It would take 2 days to me to figure this out :)

Thank you, it works!

Keep in mind the auto adjust does not adjust the horizontal alignment.

I often just get OFX Effect, go through the list of parameters, and display the "Label" and "Name" to determine the internal name of the parameter I'm looking for. Sometimes they match, Often they don't, and occasionally they're so different I'd have never guessed what it was.

Keep in mind the auto adjust does not adjust the horizontal alignment.

Yes, i'm aware of this since used auto correct since many years :)

zzzzzz9125:

it works well!
If not a big request, can you quickly also add 2 commands for it:

- add stereoscopic 3d fx to a selected events
- do auto correction like now
- set parameter "Horizontal offset" to a value 0.01

Yes, i like to learn all of these, but now lot of deadlines here and have no time to search and learn scripting :(

Many thanks!!

@relaxvideo How about this one?
