VEGAS FEATURE REQUEST: Move Event to End

pinnaclepro wrote on 6/6/2020, 6:32 AM

Something that would really help when working with lots of short clips(events) is a feature with a keyboard shortcut that sends the selected event(s) to the end of the project on the timeline. This would allow sending an event(s) that is not needed at the current time-frame on the timeline to the end, for potential use later in the project. There are work-arounds to this of course (move to a muted track above or below), but with a keyboard shortcut this would save a lot of time having to grab the mouse and either drag it to another track, or drag it clear to the end of the timeline. I'm envisioning a shortcut that would work in tandem with the arrow keys, where the right arrow would send to end, up arrow to track above, down arrow to track below. Thanks for considering.

Dot is correct. You can't "mute" an event. You would never use such a feature again after the first time you forget to set the loop region. 110% impractical.

Ever tried rendering a subclip?

You can mute events by selecting all desired events | right clicking one of them | Switches | Mute. Works for audio or video, and can be used to mute only video, only audio, both at the same time, or a mix of either from different events.

Here is such a macro (download no longer available). It is designed to work with Vegas Pro 17 only. Use "Alt+E" to trigger it after you selected the events.

Only downside is it will keep the empty space between the selected events after having been moved to the end. You could use the Vegas Pro core command "Close Gaps" (via right-clicking into the track) after.

@Marco. Can you please share the script again? The link you posted before disappeared...

Well, the script would need to find the event and then move it to the end of the timeline. But that should be a fairly simple task... You could use the base project I create here:

And then add this code in the "main" section:

foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks) 
{ 
    foreach (TrackEvent evnt in myTrack.Events) 
    { 
        if (evnt.Selected) 
        { 
            evnt.Start = myVegas.Project.Length; 
            evnt.Selected = false; 
        } 
    } 
}
