How do I automatically put in chapter markers every (say) 10 mins?

[corey19981]

Hello, is there a way of automatically putting in chapter markers for example every 10 mins of my Vegas project without having to do it manually?

Thanks

Corey

I don't think so. Perhaps one of the third party add-on/plug-in/script folks has something that can help. You can also insert markers during playback by pressing the M key.

Trivial to script- let me know if you'd like me to do this, can probably find time tomorrow or Thurs.

Edit the file in notepad to set the 'Interval' .. then drop it into your Vegas 7.0\Script Menu folder.

Select a region that you want to create markers within, then run the script. It'll keep adding markers at your specified interval until it reaches the end of your selected region.

Hope that helps!

Hey Epicedium,

How do you do that. Is that Javascript. Where does one learn Scripting for Vegas.
Thanks

There is an API document, available from Sony's site, or mirrored here-

That's basically it- just javascript, and using the Sony.Vegas library ( import Sony.Vegas; ), which imports a bunch of classes for structures such as Track, TrackEvent, etc.

Epicedium > are you sayng one should learn java programming to be able to script for vegas ?

 

[epicedium]

Javascript, rather than full Java. Most of Java isn't relevant. Learn Javascript, it's useful for web design and vegas scripting.
