I'm completely don't know, where to find out, what class has specified plugin.
In default script "add timecode" we see:
Guid plugInClassID = new Guid("2869bb94-4971-4ccc-94ca-743666a85938"); // "Sony Timecode"
That's it. I'm searched in registry by names - nothing. I want to add Color corrector with my preset.
Color Correction is Guid("d8a07b20-5dfe-41b9-a17d-e0c6cf711d2f")
Here are the Class ID's (GUID) for all of the DirectX Video plug-ins:

This was just so helpful! Thank you! 👍
Also, when I was starting with scripting I had problem with finding the functions so there is a link to download scripting documentation: http://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/downloads/#c24726
@jetdv do you know if that script works in VP 17? There were several syntax errors but the last problem I'm encountering is on
renderer.FileTypeName + " - " + renderer.Name + " - " + renderer.ClassID;
where the ClassID prop doesn't seem to exist and I can't find it in the latest documentation
As it says "using Sony.Vegas;", it is designed for versions up to 13. However, change that line to "using ScriptPortal.Vegas;" and you should be good to go. The script as I listed it above worked on my system. "renderer" does have a "ClassID". Here's an example of the output of that script when run on Vegas Pro 13 (the last version it was designed to work with):

I just tested this script and it ran fine in Vegas Pro 17. I would have uploaded the results but, apparently, text files are not allowed...
Naturally, you'll need to change "FileStream inis = new FileStream("C:\\Users\\Edward Troxel\\Documents\\Scripts\\ByEdward\\EffectsGUID.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);" to be a valid path on your machine.
Thanks. Only just now saw the replies. I'll reply back once I have a chance to run this on my system.
@jetdv Worked fine, thanks!
