Are these events on the same video track? If so, try expanding the track layers [right click on track header and select expand track layers]. this will place aternating events on two vertically offset track layers. While I haven't figured out how to gang select all events on either layer, at least it makes it much easier to proceed with CTL-click selection of all events on that particular layer.

There is no easy way. You would need a script like this one:


/**

 * Program: SelectEveryOtherEvent.cs

 *  Author: John Rofrano (a.k.a. JohnnyRoy)

 * Purpose: This script will select every other event on the selected tracks

 * Updated: July 7, 2008

 *

**/

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Sony.Vegas;



class EntryPoint

{

    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)

    {

        foreach (Track track in vegas.Project.Tracks)

        {

            if (!track.Selected) continue;



            bool selectThisEvent = true;

            foreach (TrackEvent trackEvent in track.Events)

            {

                if (selectThisEvent)

                {

                    trackEvent.Selected = true;

                }

                selectThisEvent = !selectThisEvent;

            }

        }

    }

}

Just cut and paste it into a file called SelectEveryOtherEvent.cs and place it in your Vegas .\Script Menu\ folder.

Then use Tools | Scripting | SelectEveryOtherEvent to run it.
