  Unattached Object, Automatic Fade In/Out

  Posted by Tyson Onaga on March 4, 2009 at 11:35 pm

  Is there a command to add a Fade In/Out to a selected media object. Let’s say the object does NOT overlap another object in the track. I would like a (e.g. 2 second) Fade In/Out applied to the object without having to use the “drag Fade handle approach” on each end of the object. I.e., select the object and menu-command (or hot keys) and the fades are applied.

  Thanks in advance.

  There’s a script on the VASST site Fade Event In Out that’s close to what you need.
  It was written for a 1 second fade in/out but it shouldn’t be too hard to modify it for a 2 sec. fade.

  Thanks for the tip. You wouldn’t happen to have the Script file? I think I found it here:
  https://www.vasst.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=860:fadeeventinout&catid=55:vasstfreeware&Itemid=98
  but when I try to download it, I get SharesAndSurfaces.sfpreset which looks like a binary file, not a text script file.

  [Tyson Onaga] “…when I try to download it, I get SharesAndSurfaces.sfpreset…”

  Very strange 🙁
  DSE or John Rofrano, could one of you look into this please.

  In the meantime, here’s the script (thanks to John Rofrano).
  Save it as FadeEventInOut.js

  /**
  * Program: FadeEventInOut.js
  * Description: This script will add a 1 second fade both ends of the current event
  * Author: Johnny (Roy) Rofrano john_rofrano@hotmail.com
  *
  * Revision Date: June 7, 2003
  **/

  import Sony.Vegas;
  import System.Windows.Forms;
  import Microsoft.Win32;

  try
  {
  var evnt = FindSelectedEvent();
  if (evnt == null)
  {
  throw “Error: You must select an Event.”;
  }
  evnt.FadeIn.Length = new Timecode(1000);
  evnt.FadeOut.Length = new Timecode(1000);
  }
  catch (errorMsg)
  {
  MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, “Error”, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
  }

  /**
  * Finds the currently selected event. Searches all tracks and returns the first
  * even that is selected or null if no event is selected
  * (Taken from the Sony.MediaSoftware Scripting FAQ)
  */
  function FindSelectedEvent() : TrackEvent
  {
  var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks);
  while (!trackEnum.atEnd())
  {
  var track : Track = Track(trackEnum.item());
  var eventEnum = new Enumerator(track.Events);
  while (!eventEnum.atEnd())
  {
  var evnt : TrackEvent = TrackEvent(eventEnum.item());
  if (evnt.Selected)
  {
  return evnt;
  }
  eventEnum.moveNext();
  }
  trackEnum.moveNext();
  }
  return null;
  }

  Yea, that’s definitely a misguided link. I’ll tell our web folks about it. Thanks,
