ScriptingYesterday
Timeline Ripple button
Thanks, Edward. I have an idea of what to do to simulate this. It's just going to take a bunch of code to do it. There are some times when I drag a load of media items onto the timeline, then realise that I've failed to set the auto cross fade option. I want to create a crossfade on every media event by shuffling each event forward by x frames. It would have been relatively easy if the auto ripple function could be accessed and switched if necessary. Oh well. That's set me a challenge.I know it would be easy just to delete all the media, set the auto cross fade and drag them back on again. But that wouldn't teach me to script, would it?

@Max-Hind If I click off Vegas for any reason (to look at a website or open a folder outside of vegas) when I go back to it it hangs (spinning circle) for a long time Have you tried it with this check box unchecked? On Vegas Pro 20 if I do a manual save the program often gets very "laggy" after the save. Are you using VP365 (the subscription option)? If you are, try turning off Create Project Collection.

Vegas error on installation!
@JD104 No problem accessing the website from here (England). Have you tried another browser?Have you done a search on the forum for error -5? EDIT - Are you sure it's error code -5? I can't find any reference to this error code on the forum or Vegas Creative Software support.

Brilliant! That's done it. It shows me the result before I close the form. Thanks a lot. I must try and digest the API document, although it's not going to be easy. Any idea why I need to close VP down to rebuild the dll?

I think it was the runtime. I'll investigate. Meantime I've had some success with a forms script I wanted to produce. I wanted to modify the script that applies fades to selected events, so that a form would appear where I could enter the fade length in frames. It sort of works. It applies the correct length fades to any selected event, but only after I exit the form. Your script that selects regions, selects the regions as soon as you click the button. I've listed the code below. It hasn't got any error trapping yet. Can you look at it and tell me where I've gone wrong?Another thing. If Vegas is open, I can't rebuild the script because the dll can't be overwritten. I have to close VP down every time I want to test the script. Is there a way around this? using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using ScriptPortal.Vegas; namespace Apply_Fades_02 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Vegas myVegas; public Form1(Vegas vegas) { myVegas = vegas; InitializeComponent(); udbox.Minimum = 1; udbox.Maximum = 75; } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks) { foreach (TrackEvent myEvent in myTrack.Events) { if (myEvent.Selected) { myEvent.FadeIn.Length = Timecode.FromFrames((int)udbox.Value); myEvent.FadeOut.Length = Timecode.FromFrames((int)udbox.Value); } } } } } } public class EntryPoint { private static Apply_Fades_02.Form1 form; public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas) { form = new Apply_Fades_02.Form1(vegas); form.ShowDialog(); } }

Mine says 'Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.8.09037. Seems queer that it knows I have 4.8, but doesn't show it in the selection list. I'm going to start your tutorial from scratch again to see if there's any change.

This is what I get. What version of VS are you using? I'm on version 16.11.23, the current one.

The only issue with using the older DLL files is that any new options added to scripting won't be available to the script. At my level, I don't think that will be a problem.🙂

@jetdv Success. I selected .NET 4.0 and used the ScriptPortal from VP17 and got Test Script With Form to work. This was after VS2019 had updated, so I don't know which contributed to the solution.Thanks again for your guidance. I can now proceed up the learning curve.

Did you go back and start with my base version? No. Because I'd completed the project, apart from the build, I loaded that back in and attempted to change the target framework from there. I'll start from base and see how it goes. Also, I'll try the dll from Vegas Pro 17 (the oldest I have). Thanks for your patience. It's much appreciated.

@jetdv Change your project to use .NET 4.8 instead of 4.0 and it should work. Unfortunately, the .NET options in VS don't go above 4.7.2, and I don't know how to force VS to accept 4.8. I tried to install 4.7.2 but Windows won't allow me to do so as I already have 4.8 installed. I'll have to do some VS research to see if there's a way to update the target framework options. If you point to an OLDER version of the ScriptPortal.dll file, you may be able to use a lower version of .NET. Can you explain how I can do that? There's only one version of 'ScriptPortal.Vegas.dll' in the VEGAS directory.

@jetdv Well, I'm well and truly 'up the creek without a paddle'. I now find that I can't build the project because the version of .NET installed is 4.8 and I can't select that in VS.

@jetdv Thanks for that info Edward. I watched you video but I couldn't get past first base. The version of .NET wasn't displayed as it was for you. I proceeded though and found under properties that the version being used was .NET 5.0. I opened the list but couldn't see 4.0, only 3.0 and 3.5. So I went ahead and installed the latest version of .NET 4. After a restart, I tried again. The list still didn't show 4.as an option.I then went ahead and opened up your project. A message appeared in red in the Solutions window that indicated I should install extra components. So I clicked OK. After starting VS again and selecting the Forms template, I saw that there was a drop down list with .NET 4 option. I chose this and clicked create. I was then able to add the ScriptPortal reference OK. Things are looking up. I can now proceed to follow your tutorial.I have to say, if you hadn't provided the link to that 'sample project' I wouldn't have known what to do. Thanks again.

Motion Tracking jitters
@Roger Bansemer To avoid any confusion, I suggest you change the heading for your post to 'Motion Tracking', which is different to 'Track Motion'. Having said that, it doesn't immediately look as if you're doing anything wrong. I suggest you first disable GPU processing in Options/Preferences/Video and give it another try. If you're on NVIDIA, I've had weird glitching effects with GPU set to on. Another suggestion. Don't close the motion tracking dialog down until after you've applied the tracking to the media event.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, with my camera (in my signature), I don't think there's much I can do about these kind of conditions when I'm shooting. I'll have a play with the colour curve and see if I can get an acceptable result. It's not crucial, it's part of a project for me.

This is my new video What do you think?
@AlexLor A bit of constructive criticism. Subtitles: Best shown on an opaque background. White on white is not good. Sometimes unreadable. Repetition: Sections of the narrative are repeated unnecessarily. For instance, the colour of your urine. Otherwise, a very good message.

Vega Pro 16 bad render quality
@fr0sty I thought that this was the case, and it may have been at one point, but in the latest build of Vegas 20, my arrow keys advance one frame regardless of how far I'm zoomed in or out on the timeline. Still does. With a 23 minute timeline the cursor jumps 21 frames. A variation to @john_dennis's method is to simply grab the cursor below the timeline and scrub. No sound.

Vega Pro 16 bad render quality
@Fritz-Hugo The arrow keys move the playhead in different increments depending on the timeline magnification. Expanding the timeline (zooming in) will move the playhead in smaller increments. Contracting the timeline (zooming out) will move the playhead in larger increments.The maximum increment will depend upon the length of the project. Longer projects will allow larger increments.
