TrackEvents Identification

Hello,

I will describe you a problem via example.

I have a videoclip (with audio too) which duraton is 100 seconds.

I split this videoclip into 10 equal parts. Then I have 10 TrackEvents which duration is 10 second.

I want to differentiate these 10 parts. Is it possible to get unique identification number of each of these 10 Track Event?????

I notice that this videoclip is display in Project Media as a single one but there is an extra information that Usage is 10.

Each of these 10 TrackEvent has the same FilePath, so I am not able to differntiate these Track Events via ActiveTrack.FilePath.

How can I differentiate these 10 TrackEvents?

Regards

Marcin

Unless someone can suggest a 3rd party process of doing this, you may need to render each 10 secs event segment of that 100 secs event to its own event which is individually named. In my experience, Vegas Pro has never been able to break an event into individually separately named segments without rendering of some sort.

The timecode of each will be different unless you put them all on the same timecode on different tracks.

You can right-click each event, choose Properties, and change the "Active Take Name" to a unique name. Those will show up under View - Edit Details - Events.

I don't see a way of differentiating in Project Media.

@Dexcon Thank you for your answer

@jetdv Thank you for your answer too.

Am I able to change "Active take name" to a unique name via C# code?

            foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
            {
                foreach(TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events)
                {
                    if (evnt.Selected)
                    {
                        evnt.ActiveTake.Name = "My new name";

                    }
                }
            }

Can you make them subclips and rename them?

@DMT3 Subclips are not a good idea, because it is not possible to create proxy files on them and while using such subclips, playing them is not so smooth if I had 4K 50p or even 4K 100p.
