Script request

Hi -
I think this should be a simple one. I need a script that adds a marker at the current cursor location with a name (specified within the script) (I would edit in the label for the marker). This is so I can have aperson drop in commanoly named markers throughout a project without typing it in eachtime. I would then give the script a toolbar button and hotkey.

thansk in advacne.

Are you talking Command Markers? Or regular Markers?

See if this can be modified to do what you want (you might want to e-mail me with more details):



/**

 * This script will put a command marker at the beginning of the selected event with a specified name

 *

 * CMarkerAtCursor.js

import System.Windows.Forms;

import Sony.Vegas;





try {

  //Now add and name the marker

  var MyMarker = new CommandMarker(Vegas.Cursor, new MarkerCommandType("TEXT"), "Command Marker Text");

  Vegas.Project.CommandMarkers.Add(MyMarker);

  MyMarker.Label = "NAME OF MARKER"; //Change this line to change the text of the marker





} catch (e) {

    MessageBox.Show(e);

}

Thanks for your help. Actually, this did the trick: (From Paul at Sony)

import Sony.Vegas;
Vegas.Project.Markers.Add(new Marker(Vegas.Cursor, "Your label text"));

sorry I wasn't more clear.
