How to do an automatic overlap of clips AFTER they're on timeline?
If you're running Sony Vegas Pro v8 through v13, the free Vegas Extension Timeline Tools can do this with a couple mouse clicks. If you're running Magix Vegas Pro it will not run extensions designed for earlier versions of Vegas. This short video shows ho to use Timeline Tools to layout events on the timeline to create a slideshow project.

My problem with the name, "Vegas."
Are you sure you're performing a selective search and not a general one? If you enclose the words Magix and Vegas within quotes, it will limit the search returns.

software works as script, but not a extension - Vegas 14
Like you, from asking questions in the Vegas forum. The one man I found to be most helpful in answering Vegas scripting questions is Edward Troxel. He's the author of the Excalibur Vegas Extension. He's been writing Vegas scripts and extensions longer than anyone I know. In appreciation for all the help he gave me, if I can pass on that kindness, I'm willing to help others if I can.

Glad to hear this got you working. I'm not familiar with XSharp (or is it X#)? Is this a Microsoft product?

software works as script, but not a extension - Vegas 14
When you modify a Vegas parameter in an Extension, the code that modifies the parameter must be enclosed within a Vegas UNDO block. Here's a C# example. // this creates an Undo Block Object that is automatically freed as the using block // goes out of scope. using ( new UndoBlock ( "Text that appears in the Undo dropdown list" ) ){ // code that modifies a Vegas parameter inside the using block. // this could be changing a track or event parameter, etc. }

SURVEY: Would you upgrade to VP14 if...
When Magix took over Vegas, I looked at their other products and bought a copy of Xara Web Designer Premium. This is really cool software that looks like it has great potential. But when I then TRIED to register and get access to their on-line forums, for whatever reason, the registration process failed; and no matter what I tried after that, I could no longer register my copy of Xara to access the product forums.This is bad enough, but after I couldn't register on their forums I filed a support request. After a couple days of not hearing from them, the next time I checked my support ticket, I found it had been closed and marked as resolved. So I re-opened it and asked the same question again. After a couple more days, it was again closed marked as resolved. This went on four more times; and when it was repeatedly closed/marked resolved I just gave up.So, what does this have to do with the question of what would sway me to purchase Vegas Pro v14? This tells me that Magix customer support is starting out as bad as what Sony customer support devolved into after many years of Vegas ownership. I don't want to start down a path of tying myself to a company that I can't count on to help me out with something as simple as fixing a simple product registration issue on their web forums. Without adequate customer support for a product as complex and sophisticated as Vegas Pro, I will simply stay away from the product.

Using a .dll with a script
If your script is a compiled DLL you should have no problem. You link to the DLL as you would when setting up any other project in Visual Studio. If your script is a text file then what you're trying to do is called Late Binding. See this example code in Code Project. It shows how to late bind to a dll without any previous linking.http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1557/Late-binding-on-native-DLLs-with-C

Automatically place Markers on music beats
Nick, even though Timeline Tools doesn't work with Magix Vegas Pro, the programs beat detection capability is still available in my stand-alone Playlist Tools program. Playlist Tools will export a text file containing the detected beat locations as offsets in seconds. This is not nearly as seamless and convenient as having the capability built-in to Timeline Tools, especially when it comes to adjusting the optimum settings, but it is a work around if needed.

My home made Extension won't show up in Vegas 14
"Hi Gary, the title of this topic is:My home made Extension won't show up in Vegas 14" Yes, I saw the title. My point was simply that Vegas v14 may still follow some caompatibility with prior versions, and work with extensions in the same folders.

Nick, if you have Timeline Tools installed in Sony Vegas Pro, you can use the Markers & Regions tab to view and select Markers or Regions, and it will position the Vegas cursor to the selected item.

Need help to restore previous actions
The free Timeline Tools extension for Sony Vegas Pro v13 and earlier has an incremental save feature that creates multiple backup copies of your project .veg file in the same directory as your project .veg file. This gives you a series of .veg files that can be opened and examined to let you review the state of your project throughout it's development life cycle.

Namespace change coming for VEGAS Pro 14
zipzap. Yes you can have multiple different versions of Vegas on the same PC. However, you can't open a Vegas project authored in a newer version of Vegas from an older Version of Vegas. So that means you can't do some editing in v14, and then open the project in v13 to some other editing.

Namespace change coming for VEGAS Pro 14
Richard, I'm the author of Timeline Tools. And yes, at this point I have no immediate plans to produce a second version of the utility to support Magix Vegas v14. And despite what some people have said here, it is not a trivial task, from a developer, support, and testing standpoint, to produce two side-by-side versions of the same utility that work in two distinctly different environments. TimeLine Tools is a free program that I wrote to make editing my own video projects simpler. After using it a while I decided to make it available to others who might appreciate the powerful editing features it brings to Sony Vegas Pro. Supporting Magix Vegas would mean I'd have to purchase a copy of v14 to use for development and testing. I'm currently running Vegas v11, and it meets all my editing needs; so the expense of upgrading adds no value to me. Starting work on a multi-host version of TLT would also require me to ramp up my work on a new development environment, at a time when I've ramped down my work on TLT to the point of only fixing reported bugs. I'm 66 years old, retired and dealing with health issues from exposure to Agent Orange during my tour in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. Further software development on TLT is not that high on my list of priorities. I only mention this because my situation is just one example of how many of your favorite compiled Vegas scripts and extensions will no longer be supported by people who for their own reasons have made their programs obsolete. At some point I might consider the possibility of turning over the TLT source code to an open source host. But I've not yet given it any thought.

I agree, it wouldn't take a lot of work. It would take an excruciatingly, agonizingly, impossibly, infinitely long amount of work. So don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.

Script to Fade In/out not working
Ok, never mind. I made the assumption that you were creatnig a compiled script, not a stand alone text script. Every script or extension I've ever made has been compiled into a dll; so it's in my nature to think that way first.
