  How to perform automatic action on grouped video+audio track, split to chunks depends from audio level and speed up silence parts.

  Posted by Ivan Balalayka on November 1, 2016 at 1:37 am

  I have long video+audio with pauses on audio, maybe there is tools, that can do automatically 2 things:
  1. Scan whole audio track and automatically cut it (including grouped video track) on level edge, where sound switches from below some level (silence) to speech
  2. Convert all chunks from 1. to subclips
  3. Perform some automatic action on all this track, in my case – speed up video-audio where silence and leave untouched where is speech
  4. Do thing like auto ripple to all this chunks (at least I blurry remember script, that could delete gaps in tracks, i.e. some sort “post auto-ripple”)

  So, do I need to look in script-writing part for this or maybe somebody invented this bicycle already?

  Maybe Vegasaur can help you?

  1. It has Silence Detector that creates regions. Next, you can adjust them or even completely delete “silent” parts using Markers (if needed). You can also split events at regions.
  2. Convert to subclips… why? (just select these events and choose Create Subclip in context menu)
  3. Select “silent” events, apply Playback Rate in Quick Properties (note that you can’t speed up audio events more than 4X)
  4. Finally, run Auditor and delete all gaps (one click)

  Thanks, Vegasaur worked for me, just one question left – is there proper way to select all this tagged with “silence” regions on project? I.e. like in Markers-Tools-Keep/delete events-delete inside regions, BUT instead of deleting events it would be selecting it?
  For now I found out workaround with Vegasaur – Select Events – filter on every 2 event, but if there will not be even/odd pattern on events?

  I’ve seen this script, but it did not worked for me in Vegas 14, after some suggestions (adding import ScriptPortal.Vegas; and changing comparsion from <=, >= to <, > it worked! Here it is, just in case:

  Select events within regions.js to folder with scripts, something like c:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 14.0\Script Menu\

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

  try

  {
  for (var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks); !trackEnum.atEnd(); trackEnum.moveNext())
  for (var eventEnum = new Enumerator(Track(trackEnum.item()).Events); !eventEnum.atEnd(); eventEnum.moveNext())
  if (!eventEnum.item().Selected)
  for (var regionEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Regions); !regionEnum.atEnd(); regionEnum.moveNext())
  if (eventEnum.item().Start < regionEnum.item().End &&
  eventEnum.item().End > regionEnum.item().Position)
  {
  eventEnum.item().Selected = true;
  break; // breaks region loop, continues on next event
  }
  }
  catch (e)
  {
  Vegas.ShowError(e);
  }

  hm, strangely thing, could not find how to edit post, wanted to put code in code tags:

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

  try

  {
for (var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks); !trackEnum.atEnd(); trackEnum.moveNext())
for (var eventEnum = new Enumerator(Track(trackEnum.item()).Events); !eventEnum.atEnd(); eventEnum.moveNext())
if (!eventEnum.item().Selected)
for (var regionEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Regions); !regionEnum.atEnd(); regionEnum.moveNext())
if (eventEnum.item().Start < regionEnum.item().End &&
eventEnum.item().End > regionEnum.item().Position)
{
eventEnum.item().Selected = true;
break; // breaks region loop, continues on next event
}
}
catch (e)
{
Vegas.ShowError(e);
}
