Three ideas relating to prerenders

After a dose of caffeine I had a couple of script ideas relating to prerenders.

1. Promote prerender to track: Seems like it could be useful fo the able to promote your prerenders to an actual full featured track

2. Consolidate tracks: Sometimes people render to a new track rather than prerender. The problem with this is that it creates lots of tracks. A script that could consolidate two tracks might be handy. It ought to be able to ask you which tracks to use, which track to copy everything to, maybe allow you to rename the track, and then show you a list of all the overlaps that will be created with some choices to resolve them. That last part could get complex but the first step might be to show you where the overlaps will occur and give you an option not to move the clip. Also implies that you could choose whether or not to delete the old track if it's empty.

3. Convert selected clips to nested project: Something Vegas ought to have been able to do when nested Veg files were first introduced.

I’m working on a script to render video to a « prerender » track.
If you are interesting for a beta testing, please contact me (I’ll send you the dll).

Well, that was easy! Great stuff Gilles!

OK:

1] It wont keep my designated Render to Video Track folder.

2] It wont keep my template.

3] I'd LIKE a user definable name given to the rendered other than "Prerender"

For 1] and 2] maybe a "Keep Settings" check-mark?

For 3] maybe an incremental name using the Veg project name as the "base_name"?

Otherwise I love it for its simplicity and swiftness to GUI. Gets a "GraziEase" mark of 4.2 outta 5.

THANK YOU GILLES!!
