Some free scripts.

Here, some scripts I wrote for Vegas7 :

Recompiled version for VP8.



Split Audio Channels :
This script is to split left/right channels on two different audio tracks.
Select audio events and run script.
The left channel is assigned to the top track and the right channel to the bottom track (an audio track is created if there isn’t track below the events).




Video Strobe:
Use this script to create a stroboscopic video effect.
Select video tracks, make a time selection and run script.
Set the strobe interval (1 to 10 frames).
A mute envelope is created for each selected video tracks.




Video Slide (beta version):
Use this script to create image slide over the screen.
Select video events to process and run script.
Direction area > define the slide direction. If “rotate” is selected, the direction is incremented for each processed event.
Pause area > define the pause time at trajectory's middle (20% to 50% of the event length).
Size & position area > Scale factor can be set to 0.25 to 1.00. The position windows work like the position windows in the cookie cutter filter. A double clic on CenterX or CenterY reset the X and Y value.
Caution: all pan/crop keyframes are cleared.
Video Slide demo.




Video Zoom (beta version):
Use this script to create zoom effect.
Select video events to process and run script.
Position area > same as Video slide script.
Sizes factors area > define the image size factor at start, at pause and at end of the event.
Pause area > if set to 0%, there isn’t pause.
Fades area > define the fade time (( 0% to 50% of the event length).
Caution: all pan/crop keyframes are cleared.
Video Zoom demo



Those scripts are the firsts I wrote in C#. So, thx in advance to report any bugs.
In addition, I’m not English, so thx to tell me if there is some inappropriate words.

Is there any possibility that these scripts can be converted to work with Vegas 6? I like what they accomplish but I cannot justify an upgrade to Vegas 7 right now. Thanks.

Which ones don't work with V6?
BobMoyer wrote on 4/25/2007, 3:58 PM
The originator of the scripts had posted a link to these on another forum. Someone (using Vegas6) had tried them and got an error msg. the contents of which he partially listed. The originator then came back and said he had written them for Vegas7. I didn't want to install them only to have to remove them if they didn't work in 6. Do you suppose they could be made to work in Vegas6? Thanks.

I just downloaded and used them (you don't have to install -- you just copy the files to a folder and use them).

Nice scripts! Well done.

I then tried them in Vegas 6 and the other poster is correct: they do not work in V6. Because these are compiled scripts, only the original author will be able to alter them. I expect that such alterations are not trivial and perhaps may not be possible given some of the things being done (which may require V7).

Rosebud wrote on 4/26/2007, 12:04 AM
Those scripts are written and compiled with the Framework 2.0 (not compatible with V6).
Bob, I’m sorry but I don’t have time (and tools) to update them to work with V6.
BobMoyer wrote on 4/26/2007, 12:17 PM
Yes, those are nice scripts and would love to use them. Perhaps someday I will be in a position to upgrade to 7.

"Rosebud" thanks for the reply. It wasn't what I had hoped to hear but I can really appreciate the time and effort it would take just to satisfy one user. As I mentioned above, perhaps one day.....

Hi,
any change to update these for Vegas 8 and/or for Windows Vista (don't know which one is preventing me to run these)?
Rosebud wrote on 12/22/2007, 9:59 AM
Recompiled version for VP8.
I didn't have time to really test them.
So, please report any problem.
MRe wrote on 12/25/2007, 2:29 AM
Thank you very much They seem to be working ok. PNG-files for Split Audio and Video Slide should to be changed for VP8-supported ones. Minor detail, though. And something I can do by myself.

I made changes for all png files at the same time.
They work fine for me. Not for you ?
MRe wrote on 12/29/2007, 7:44 AM
Yes, they work OK. My mistake. Thanks for the scripts.

Great!

Thank you for these scripts!

Do you think that may have sense to translate this script also in other languages such as Italian?

If yes I can help you.

Sorry, since the interface are very simple, I don’t plan to translate those scripts.

OK, no problem!

Scripting noob question:

What are the .png files for?

To make icons on the toolbar.

Hi. I got the scripts in a folder in the Program group for Sony Vegas 8.0c
4 dll's showed up in the folder view.
2 of the scripts opened fine and I set the selections per your post here.
(I have no audio on this short movie..)
However the Strobe effect would not open instead I got an error message saying
no events or time selection was made.
When I tested the video playback without the strobe only my first slide seem affected.
(This is a 9 second 40 image slideshow with jpg's no transitions.)
The first image had a fuzzy appearance with the compass shaped arrows on it in a fuzzy
black color.
Can you tell me what might have went wrong and how to get the strobe script
to see the selected all events?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Sorry I've never used these scripts but from Rosebud's description it says:

"Select video tracks, make a time selection and run script... A mute envelope is created for each selected video tracks."

From that I assume that you need to use more than one video track and you need to select the tracks that you want included in the effect AND make a timeline selection before you run the script. I sounds like it makes an envelope that alternates between the two tracks but as I said, I've never used these scripts so I don't know for sure. The timeline selection is how you would tell it to use all of your events.

WOW thanks for that last posting by you in this thread.
I had the script in the wrong folder but here is how I solved this:

Got the script to show in the script's menu listings
Made a second video track - empty.
double clicked the top section of the Marker Bar - which made all the clip's time active.
Ran the strobe scripts as suggested in the start of the posting.

The new edits showed up on the tracks and I played it and it worked fine!!

(The only problem was since these were a bunch of jpg's some of them had the scan lines showing)

Still this is great for now as I am building up a freaky little clip for our theatre and can experiment from here.

Thanks,
Bill

Hiya Rosebud

Will these scripts (Zoom) work in Vegas Pro 9c?
