  Sony Vegas 9 – Controlling timeline from Plug-in

  Posted by Chandan Nataraj on September 6, 2011 at 4:18 am

  Hi All,

  I would like to develop a DirectX plug-in for Sony Vegas 9 which provides UI to control the timeline (seek, step forward etc) – similar to scrub control in Vegas. Is there any API to achieve this in Vegas 9 SDK?

  Thanks,
  Chandan

  Hi,

  I do not assert anything here as I have never developped DirectX plug-ins, however as far as I could read in the SDK documentation, there is no access to the Vegas framework from within a plug-in.

  Also, if I remember correctly, one of the new features of OFX (added in VP 10), was the ability to browse between frames from with the plug-in. Even though this is not directly related to what you want to do, this might confirm my first assumption.

  Rather than developing a plug-in, couldn’t you develop a script or an extension? I am pretty sure the scripting API provides control over the timeline.

  Hope this helps,
  Frederic

  Thanks Frederic. I am looking at scripting API right now. It seems it has control over timeline, but still need to dig more.
