Script for field order. Please help

Hi,

I have a huge project and now I'm finished I find out that all clips have different field orders. When rendering this creates all kinds of problems.

Is there a script that sets the field order to one specific format. That would save a lot of time!

Thanks

This script will do what you want. Just uncomment the field order you would like to set everything to and comment out the other two. It is currently set for Lower Field First. Just cut and paste it into a file called: ChangeMediaPoolFieldOrder.js

/**

 * Program: ChangeMediaPoolFieldOrder.js

 * Description: This script will change the field order of all the video media in

 *              the project's media pool

import System.Windows.Forms;

import Sony.Vegas;



//

// Uncomment the field order you want to set

//

//var fieldOrder : VideoFieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.ProgressiveScan; 

//var fieldOrder : VideoFieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.UpperFieldFirst; 

var fieldOrder : VideoFieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.LowerFieldFirst;



var counter = 0;

try 

{

    for (var media in Vegas.Project.MediaPool)

    {

        // only change if the media object has a video stream.

        if (media.HasVideo()) 

        {

            // get the video stream

            var video : VideoStream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video,0);

            // Set the field order

            video.FieldOrder = fieldOrder;

            counter++;

        }

    }

    MessageBox.Show(counter + " Video stream(s) processed.");

} 

catch (errorMsg)

{

    MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

}
