Just wanting to know if a script could be created to launch Mocha Pro on the selected event? This would be very convenient to select an event and with a single click of the script, Mocha Pro is initialize and the "Launch Mocha UI" opens up the program.
Once an effect is added to an event, a script can open the VEGAS FX UI. If there's more than one effect, I can't guarantee which effect will be selected by default. And if Mocha has a separate UI that opens, it *might* be possible for a script to "push that button" but I can't guarantee that it would open the UI - especially if the VEGAS FX window wasn't open.
Well, what do you know, it actually works. This will look for a selected video event that has the Mocha VEGAS plugins on it. It will then open the VEGAS FX dialog and then push the "Launch Mocha UI" button.
foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
if (myTrack.IsVideo())
{
foreach (VideoEvent vEvent in myTrack.Events)
{
if (vEvent.Selected)
{
foreach (Effect myEffect in vEvent.Effects)
{
if (myEffect.PlugIn.UniqueID == "{Svfx:com.borisfx.ofx.mochaVegas}")
{
vEvent.OpenVideoEffectUI();
myVegas.UpdateUI();
if (myEffect.IsOFX)
{
OFXEffect OFX = myEffect.OFXEffect;
foreach(OFXParameter parm in OFX.Parameters)
{
if (parm.ParameterType == OFXParameterType.PushButton && parm.Name == "launchMochaProID")
{
parm.ParameterChanged();
myVegas.UpdateUI();
break;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Thank you so much, Gonna give it a whirl....
Yes, that is certainly possible. Just look at any of the tutorials on my site that show how to add an effect. Then instead of searching for effects, find the selected event, add the effect, and then just use the effect you just added. There are several examples in my tutorials.
Here's an example (but not with Mocha):
I tried to change exactly this script, but I couldn't
Would be something more like:
foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
if (myTrack.IsVideo())
{
foreach (VideoEvent vEvent in myTrack.Events)
{
if (vEvent.Selected)
{
string plugInUID = "{Svfx:com.borisfx.ofx.mochaVegas}";
PlugInNode fx = myVegas.VideoFX;
PlugInNode plugin = fx.GetChildByUniqueID(plugInUID);
Effect effect = new Effect(plugin);
vEvent.Effects.Add(effect);
vEvent.OpenVideoEffectUI();
myVegas.UpdateUI();
if (effect.IsOFX)
{
OFXEffect OFX = effect.OFXEffect;
foreach(OFXParameter parm in OFX.Parameters)
{
if (parm.ParameterType == OFXParameterType.PushButton && parm.Name == "launchMochaProID")
{
parm.ParameterChanged();
myVegas.UpdateUI();
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Well... yes it is. That same tutorial shows how to check for it already being there and then adding only if it needs to be added.
