Here you go. Will work on ALL SELECTED events:

Reset Pan/Crop Script


Right-click the link, choose Save File As, and remove the ending ".txt"

Jetdv, very helpful, many thanks.

Thanks Jetdv. That's exactly what I wanted to be able to do. I am getting crashes though. If I run the script, it restores the crop settings just fine...but if I then choose the event pan/crop button on the same event again, it crashes Vegas.

Here are the dialog window details regarding the crash:

I've made a change to it. Re-download it and see if it gives the error now.


Revised Reset Pan/Crop Script

good job...I can't make it crash now. I obviously don't know how (haven't tried to learn) how to write a script, but did you just knock this out after reading my post? Or was it something you already had...also curious what you changed to prevent it from crashing Vegas.

I appreciate the help....Phil

Yes, it was something I wrote after reading your post. However, I started with another script I wrote and just made the necessary changes. For example, going through the tracks and finding all selected events is a common task and the largest amount of code in this script. I started with a script that already did that, deleted the previous task, and added this one. It really helps that I have a base of scripts already written and can usually find one that is "close".

Glad the new version does not error. What I changed: After deleting all keyframes, I now add back in a "base" keyframe since pan/crop is assumed to always have ONE.

Alert! Reviving a thread from the depths of time...

In V8.0c and V10.0e, jetdv's script gives me this error. Anyone know if it can be updated? I want to restore/reset pan/crop for a bunch of selected events, but leave the fx on them.

I got the script to work by changing the line:

import SonicFoundry.Vegas;

to

Import Sony.Vegas;

...Jerry

PS: Welcome Back, Nick!

Nick, change the line that reads import SonicFoundry.Vegas; to import Sony.Vegas; and see if that helps.

edit: Jerry beat me to it :)

Mike

Mike,

Ha! I finally beat someone with an overpost. It seems like I'm always second on the list.

In any case, Great minds think alike! [grin]

...Jerry

Jerry, I will happily concede the win to you :)

Mike

Doh! Lazy me for not taking a closer look at the script before coming running here.

OK, so that now works thanks, but what I would really like is a script that will also reset and/or disable the mask within event pan/crop. Any takers?

Edit: Added "...and/or disable..."

"OK, so that now works thanks, but what I would really like is a script that will also reset and/or disable the mask within event pan/crop. Any takers?Nick, I might give this a shot, but since I'm such a rookie scripter, it might take me a couple days. In the meantime, if someone with more advanced scripting skills beats me to this, great!

...Jerry

Edit: I should have done some research before I volunteered. It appears that masking is not accessible from the scripting api. Anyone else have any insight?

Well, I've just gone through my whole timeline to reset and disable the masks manually, but it would still be a very useful script. As far as I can see, even Excalibur doesn't have it.

Well, I've just gone through my whole timeline to reset and disable the masks manually, but it would still be a very useful script. As far as I can see, even Excalibur doesn't have it.I just searched the script forum and found posts by JohnnyRoy that the mask parameters are not in the scripting API. I then confirmed this by looking at the script API. Even the presets are not available. So, scriptable masking --even simply removing existing settings -- cannot be done via a script.
