what i want is to 'zero' vegas

that is
-remove all plugs
-remove all automation
-remove all mutes
-no solos
-track volumes at zero
-pans centre
-master volume at zero
-remove all buss

Not all of these tasks can be done. Right now, there's already scripts available to several of these. Here's some comments:

Remove all Plugs (which would also remove all automation?) I Guess it would need to remove all envelopes as well and I don't know of one that removes all envelopes available right now.

Remove all mutes/no solos - I don't know of one that specifically does that but would be SIMPLE to write.

Track Volumes to zero/Pans center/Master volume to zero - can't be changed via scripting.

Busses can be removed, effects can be removed, the "Mute" status of events can be turned off. Markers and Regions can be removed.


A lot of the above can be done using Excalibur. Same is true with Ultimate S. However, I don't know of any script that will do ALL of the above (even omitting the few that CAN'T be done).
