Scripts Won't Show in Menus

Hi - Using Vegas Pro 12.0. Have all the standard scripts and have installed Veggie Toolkit too. But neither Veggie nor the standard scripts actually show in the menu. The standard scripts will load if I manually hunt for them- but I can't even find Veggie.

Using Win 10 64 bit.

 

Any ideas on how to get them to show?

The Veggie Toolkit extensions should show in the Extensions menus under the Edit, View and Tools menus. That's where mine are in VP12.

Are your scripts where they should be in C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 12.0\Script Menu\ ?

Hi - yes they are all exactly there. I can load them manually but none of the scripts appear. It's odd.

There is a limitation on the number of scripts and extensions that will show in the menus. See https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/bug-large-numbers-of-scripts-do-not-show-in-scripting-menu--103299/ and https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/why-220--69079/ So if you have lots of other extensions, that might stop the Veggie Toolkit or your scripts from showing. But I realise it's unlikely that you'd have that many others.

For your application extensions, there are lots of different places that they can reside, so maybe try moving it around. Here's an old list adapted from the info in ShowRecDat_ReadMe.txt. It's more relevant for Win7 but you get the idea:

  • C:\ProgramData\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0\Application Extensions
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Vegas Application Extensions\ 
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0\Application Extensions\
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0\Application Extensions\
  • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\12.0\Application Extensions\
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\Application Extensions\
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\Application Extensions\
  • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony\Vegas Pro\Application Extensions\
