scripts making things easier
hi there,
maybe the moment wasn’t right… really not a single answer?the question is: do you think it is possible to do something, maybe writing a script-i am not strong at that…
to make those functionalities available as a keyboard shortcut:toggle enable/bypass output video effects
change thumbnails visibility in video events head/head-tail etcwhat do you people think?

If there’s a need, they will come – that’s if a script can be written. Here’s the thing: not all controls are available to the script writers.

both the original question, and this follow-up, are great questions. Didn’t know there was scripting. And I could sure benefit from the ability to add a simple keyboard command to something that presently doesn’t have one, such as, “Create Subclip.” Could have benefited from a keyboard shortcut of that roughly 200 times yesterday. 🙂

Using Macros are a good way to create an easy script using multiple keystrokes or mouse clicks. For example, using the example of creating subclips the keystrokes would be (Right click, B).
You can use a macro keyboard and a program like Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse to program it.

I’ve put together quite a few scripts over the past few years although I’m not a “script writer” from scratch. My understanding of programming goes all the way back to Fortran and Basic and little beyond. Although not the best way, I’ve taken the approach of learning from scripts that have already been written. I start with what I want the script to do, search for existing scripts that do similar things or at least have a similar process, and then learn enough to make changes. There are lots of free Vegas scripts that have been written over the years–just search. And if you get stuck, you can post your problem on the Vegas Pro scripting forum and usually get the help you need. This is NOT the best approach, but it does work. Just my nickels worth.
