script request

Sometimes i have to deliver a production (audio) to a client for mixing on another platform.Seeing that Vegas does not have OMF support this can be a lot of hassle so what i usually do is render all the track´s from the zero point but this is obviously is a lot of work.
So im thinking if someone could do a script that would automate this.

1) A choice of rendering every track from zero.
a nice feature as well would be..
2) Rendering all busses to seperate wav files.
3) Rendering FX to seperate tracks.

No can do?

I thought about #1 for Batchrender Pro, but didn't really see a need for it back then. I'll see what I can come up with.

Not sure what you mean by #3.

Arnar...I gave jetdv [aka Edward troxel] a big list of audio ideas to simulate a "freeze" function like your asking for. Ed I hope your reading this. Please update us with the progress. Let me know if there are any new extensions in the sripting build that we can discuss here that would benefit audio users.
[ie:we hit a couple of brickwalls during our Q/A session...Were any resolved in 5.0???]

I can honestly say I never proceeding with this. But I DO still have the notes from our conversation. Things just got really busy with the other scripts and those notes kept getting moved to the bottom of the stack.

I completely understand. Are you nearing the bottom of the stack. Can we get back to discussing what can/can't be done within the new scripting api?

With #3 i mean where you have fx on sends (that come up next to the busses) you could render them seperately.
Something that would use the same method as soloing the busses and render them .

Basically a scrpit like that would just have to solo all tracks (one at a time) and render, with an option on wether to mute fx or render them as well.

As for the busses then they could be scripted in the same manner , just soloing and rendering.
Same goes for the fx busses where they could just be soloed and and rendered seperatly .It probably have to be a bit more intelligent then that as it would have to be able to render 3-4 fx sends seperatly even though they are all routed to the same buss.
Ther could also be the scenario of a few busses routed to one buss (with the new bus to bus routing options) so there would have to be some intelligence or a few options in the script.
