Hyho,

I am a lets player so i record game seasons (3 -8 hours) and i batch render such a video in 20 minutes parts. Now i wounder is there a possibility that i can say vegas should shutdown the PC after Batch render is complet?

Its realy bad that the pc is running after the render because of the temperature and the Energy price. You wpuld really help me if there exists anything ^^ otherwise i have tp tell windows to shutdown but i am scared i put in the wrong time and vegas can not finish the work ^^

Vegasaur can do that (among very many other useful features) for you.

I have a script that does this, PM me if you would like me to send it to you. I just checked my V17 and it is in my script library so I know it works. To use it you must run Vegas in admin mode so it can access windows shutdown options.

Here's another way to do it. Start vegas with a powershell script that executes a windows shutdown command after vegas exits. Just put these 2 commands into a file with a name that ends in ".ps1", right-click on it, and choose Run With Powershell:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 20.0\vegas200.exe" -wait
shutdown /s /f /t 0

It'll work with any program if you get the path right... comment out the shutdown command with a # to only test starting the program. If you change your mind while vegas is running, just close the powershell window before exiting vegas.

I think that would be a little too complicated for me ^^

Neko if you send me your e-mail I can send you the script as it's not possible to upload here or in messages.

I have sent the script. You will need to copy it to C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 17.0\Script Menu

A better place so that you don't have to change the "Program Files" (which you typically shouldn't do) is:

[My Documents]\Vegas Script Menu

Then it has the added bonus of working for ALL versions of VEGAS installed.
