Does anyone to tech some easy steep to add background to subtitles?
I saw some tuts on youtube, but there was a long way, we need to add a background blank image, then crop, then mask etc..
Is there some fast way to add background to multiple subtitles ? Thanks
For subtitles, Vegas now has a crop background to text option in titles and text. See if that works for your purposes.

@RogerS 👍 is that new?
// titles and text set "FitBackgroundColor" flag - needs VEGAS Pro 19
foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
if (myTrack.IsVideo())
{
foreach (TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events)
{
if (evnt.ActiveTake.Media.IsGenerated())
{
VideoEvent vevnt = (VideoEvent)evnt;
Effect gEffect = vevnt.ActiveTake.Media.Generator;
if (gEffect.PlugIn.UniqueID == "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:titlesandtext}")
{
OFXEffect ofx = gEffect.OFXEffect;
OFXRGBAParameter fc = (OFXRGBAParameter)ofx.FindParameterByName("Background");
Color fcolor = Color.Black;
OFXColor foc;
foc.R = fcolor.R / 255.0;
foc.G = fcolor.G / 255.0;
foc.B = fcolor.B / 255.0;
foc.A = fcolor.A / 255.0;
fc.Value = foc;
OFXBooleanParameter fit = (OFXBooleanParameter)ofx.FindParameterByName("FitBackgroundColor");
fit.Value = true;
ofx.AllParametersChanged();
}
}
}
}
}
That's the code to set the fit background color flag. See my tutorials for the code that goes around this to complete the script. This tutorial will be on August 15th on www.jetdv.com and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbRCTmKY_LO-8kJwX-knW3Q/

That's not ALL of the code. That's the code that makes it add the option. You need more code around it which is why I pointed you to the tutorials. Here's the complete code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime;
using System.Xml;
using ScriptPortal.Vegas;
namespace Test_Script
{
public class Class1
{
public Vegas myVegas;
public void Main(Vegas vegas)
{
myVegas = vegas;
foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
if (myTrack.IsVideo())
{
foreach (TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events)
{
if (evnt.ActiveTake.Media.IsGenerated())
{
VideoEvent vevnt = (VideoEvent)evnt;
Effect gEffect = vevnt.ActiveTake.Media.Generator;
if (gEffect.PlugIn.UniqueID == "{Svfx:com.vegascreativesoftware:titlesandtext}")
{
OFXEffect ofx = gEffect.OFXEffect;
OFXRGBAParameter fc = (OFXRGBAParameter)ofx.FindParameterByName("Background");
Color fcolor = Color.Black;
OFXColor foc;
foc.R = fcolor.R / 255.0;
foc.G = fcolor.G / 255.0;
foc.B = fcolor.B / 255.0;
foc.A = fcolor.A / 255.0;
fc.Value = foc;
OFXBooleanParameter fit = (OFXBooleanParameter)ofx.FindParameterByName("FitBackgroundColor");
fit.Value = true;
ofx.AllParametersChanged();
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
public class EntryPoint
{
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
Test_Script.Class1 test = new Test_Script.Class1();
test.Main(vegas);
}
}
Make sure the file ends with .cs. You could name it something like SubTitleBackground.cs.
This option was added in build 636 so you must be on 636 or 643 in order to use this feature. Just update from 381 to 643 and this option will be available to you.
Thanks for this post as I searched all over and YouTube to find this answer without success and the forum has solved it with the crop background box. Thank goodness!! Thank you!
