Script for Lengthening ALL tracks-where?

jrazz wrote on 3/23/2006, 5:56 PM

Does anybody know where this script might be? Or what it might be called so I can search for it? I was told that there might be something like this on Vasst, but I don't even know what it would be called. Thanks for any help guys.

What do you mean by "lengthening all tracks"? A track is as long as the last event on that track.

Sorry, I meant the events that are on the track.

I have been looking on Vasst but to no avail searching for "track" hoping to find something.

I am trying to take 40+ tracks, I mean, events and make them longer so I don't have to do them one by one whenever I need to adjust keyframes.

Thanks

Try this. Click on the first event, shift-click the last event, hit "G" (group), place cursor at end of last clip and CTRL-drag this to the desired length.
This stretches the entire track length. Is this what you want to do?

JRAZZ - I'm afraid when I had said to you before about the script that I thought was a free script somwhere, I was wrong. It was part of US2 from VASST - they have a tab that has general usefull things and that was one of them. Sry pal - but the group and drag should do the trick.

It's also a part of Excalibur. But for anyone wanting a free version, this one has been available for quite awhile:

SetEventLength.js

Thanks guys. I just finished rendering- 8hrs worth and it is definitely too fast. I will give the script a try and/or the grouping option.
Thanks again,

Is there something out there that will allow you to stretch the keyframes out like the set event length script does for the events on the track? I would like to keep the keyframes in sync with the events that they are placed on, but when I stretch out the event length, the keyframes stay put. I am sure there is something out there for this, I just don't know what it is.
Thanks,

I did write a script that keeps the last keyframe stuck at the last point on the timeline, rather than staying at the same time location. However, it doesn't move any of the others. To do that, the script would have to know the original event length and the new event length. I guess what you were originally asking for (a script that would lengthen all events) could adjust all keyframes proportionally to the lengthening.

Yeah, that is what I was looking for, but I have manually adjusted all the keyframes, but it would be nice to have something that would do that though. If I knew anything about java, I would make some, but my other languages end at greek and html :)
