I've been using it for it's ability to import shooting logs into Vegas. This gives me a certain interoperability with the workflow we have at work using other systems (initially the idea was to allow me to work alongside a Media100 workflow). Works great for that and it's been a lifesaver. I think Randall lets you run it on a trial basis so you should try it out.

Veggie Toolkit offers the best batch render tool I've ever used.

Absolutely. You can also use it as a batch converter, awesome.

Totally recommended!

Do all your edits, then run the script and leave your machine on overnight.

Next morning everything's rendered and put exactly where you want it.

Here's a situation I'm wondering if Veggie Toolkit can address:

I capture about 40 hours of footage from various interviews. In VP8, I load the footage into the project and into the timeline, but then I'm splitting out a minute here, a minute there, until I have about 1 hour total on the timeline. Can the Toolkit easily render separate new, uncompressed clips from each of the separate events on the timeline so I can replace/delete the huge original files? Then when I open the Veg in the future, will the events on the timeline automatically reference the new Toolkit renders instead of the original captures?

You should look into it. I believe that Randall built a tool to do exactly what your asking. Capture cutter?

The disadvantage of doing this sort of thing is that you loose your timecode in the new mewdia but if you save the Veg you started with you'd probably be okay.

<time passes...> Yep, Capture cutter is still there. I wasn't sure-I knew something had been dropped from the kit.

CClub, just do a "Save As" and click the "Copy media with project" option.
You can specify some extra head & tail time on each clip if you want.
Only the timeline clips are saved instead of the entire project so what you wanted to do is done.
