vegasaur split screen and davi tools video wall

Mindmatter wrote on 9/9/2020, 9:03 AM

Hi all

the split screen plugin in Vegasaur does not really make sense to me...it sctually should create 4 new tracks ( in case of a 4x split) and track/motion the entire respective tracks in 4 equal quarters. Instead it just masks a quarter of the track / whole image instead of repositioning the whole track entirely. I usually have 4 track presets ready, upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right, which I apply to 4 newly created tracks. IIMO the Vegasaur preset / script should to that. The border mask is nice tho.

So I remembered this great extension by davi tools called video wall. It lets you choose between several multiples , 2 to up to 16 I think. I used in V15, still have the dll but don't know where to copy it to in V17. Can someone please guide me?

2 possible locations:

C:\ProgramData\VEGAS Pro\Application Extensions

or C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VEGAS Pro\Application Extensions

Afaik, DaviTools isn't supported in VP17 and VP18.

But instead of using Vegasaur's Split Screen tool you could use its Pan/Crop Assistent which also have a Video Wall tool and which lets you choose to use Track Motion. It offers exactly what you asked for. Split Screen and Video Wall are different things.

Thanks a bunch everybody!

I'd never have looked for that function under " pan crop assistant". I wonder why they configured the new split screen tool that way and still "hide" the (IMO) more useful tool under pan crop...?

I have a recompiled version that works on V14-V18. Here's a screen grab.

The author has given me permission to add it the HappyOtter Free Tools Library. I'll post back when it is available for download.

Again, to be clear, I did NOT create the tool, I only re-compiled it to work on later versions of Vegas.

I'm playing with it, but does someone have a sample project that works in VP14?

I must be missing something but I don't seem to have a C:\ProgramData\VEGAS Pro\Application Extensions folder. I'm on VP18. Where have you installed the extension?

Marco. wrote on 9/30/2020, 11:27 AM

If the folder "Application Extension" does not exist under the requested path it needs to be generated manually.

thanks, do i create it in the specifc version, eg \ProgramData\Vegas Pro\18.0 or do i do it at the higher level, ie \ProgramData\Vegas Pro ?

It should look like this.

Thanks, I created it as described

It it supposed to show up in the extensions?

wwaag wrote on 9/30/2020, 12:52 PM

Yes, you must copy both

DaviTools VideoWall.dll
DaviTools VideoWall.png

into that folder.

It looks like everything is in the right place.

I have VP17 and this is what I see....

I then double left clicked on the top toolbar to add it there....

vincent-k wrote on 9/30/2020, 1:41 PM

weird...i even tried creating it in AppData\Local\Vegas Pro but no luck...😔

Which Windows OS do you use?

@vincent-k

I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

I started looking at the version that i have and these are the details

the date looks kinda old (2017) but the version seems to be the latest version

what version is everyone using?

Marco. wrote on 9/30/2020, 2:46 PM

The only version which works in Vegas Pro 18 is the one wwaag offers via his tools4vegas website. But I assumed that'd been clear as it's been discussed here.

vincent-k wrote on 9/30/2020, 3:00 PM

and that's the version that i installed

wwaag wrote on 9/30/2020, 4:44 PM

That's the correct version you are using. I did the recompiling a few years ago. I assume that the file is not "blocked" since you posted screen grabs and also that you have closed Vegas and restarted. Since you were missing the Application Extensions folder altogether, you might try resetting Vegas.
