  Markers

  Posted by Dan Thompson on July 4, 2011 at 10:39 pm

  I’ve got a client that wants chapter markers inserted every 2 minutes. This is time consuming so I’m wondering if there is a way to tell vegas to add them at 2 minute intervals. Thanks, Dan

  I’m using Vegas Pro 10d

  Here’s a script (courtesy of Edward Troxel) that will do what you want.
  Copy everything below this reply, save it as AddMarkersAtIntervalob.js, place it in your script menu folder and run it when needed.
  The beauty of this script is that it can be modified to add markers at any interval you want just by changing the appropriate line.

  /**
  * This script will add markers at the specified interval

  import System;
  import System.IO;
  import System.Windows.Forms;
  import Sony.Vegas;

  //Modify the timecode on the next line to change the interval.
  var Interval = “00:02:00:00”;

  var zd7f2e30bc7=
  Interval;

  try{
  var z75282fe324:
  Marker;
  var za684dd0854:Timecode=new Timecode(zd7f2e30bc7);
  var z88cf708b9e:
  Timecode=za684dd0854;
  var z0174fc9e78:Timecode=Vegas.Project.Length;

  You’re welcome Dan.
  I forgot to mention that I tried it on Pro 10.0d and it worked just fine.

  So, I’m trying to highlight everything below reply, right click and save as, but that option does not show up in the menu. Where am I going wrong?
  Excuse the ignorance on my part but I’m coming from FCP on an old Mac into the PC world. Thanks, Dan

  Dan,

  Select the text you want to save by holding down the left arrow and highlighting the text in the script.

  Then right-click and select ‘copy’

  Open notepad (or any other text editor), paste the text into it and save the file with the name suggested by Mike above.

  That then gives you a new file containing just the script. Reference that file as suggested by mike.

  To the best of my knowledge the ‘save as’ does not work for selected text in browsers – only images or referenced links.

  Hope this helps

  Well, this was working well in Vegas Pro 12 until my hard drive crashed. Now I’ve replaced the hard drive and reinstalled window and all my software. Everytime I try to reinstall this script, it won’t work. Any sugestions?
