  • A way to batch disable resample of all 60p clips?

    Posted by Tim Neighbors on June 1, 2015 at 7:16 pm

    Unfortunately, unless I shoot in XAVC mode on my Sony A7s (requires newer cards and Vegas apparently wont store marker meta data for this codec), this camera will not give me the option to record in 30fps. (I know, weird) So I’ve been recording everything in 60p even though my delivery format will be 30p. In order to get rid of the ghosting effect of Vegas’s frame blending, I have to disable resampling in each clip’s properties. …one by one.

    Is there a better way to do this, or a script or extension that will disable resampling on all of the clips for me so I don’t have do it one by one? Maybe a global project setting, or some script that somebody has made, or maybe the vegas production assistant extension?

    Thanks!

    Vegasaur will do this. Also there are some free scripts. Here is the link to a recent discussion on the Vegas Pro forum

    If you select all ( CTRL + A ) and then select the EDIT option at the of the screen – EDIT then Switches and then Disable Resample, it will do them all….

    A good tip, except that it doesn’t work if there are any audio events on the timeline–the resample boxes are greyed out. You must select only video events–at least on V13.

    Hi Wayne.. Yes of course. If there is audio then select the first piece of video media and then hold SHIFT down and select the last piece of video media so that only video media is selected..

    Thank you! Got it. And vegasaur is awesome. Now if I can just figure out how to get vegas to stop dumping the meta data from my xavc clips I’ll be set.

    If there is audio then select the first piece of video media and then hold SHIFT down and select the last piece of video media so that only video media is selected..

    This will not work if you have multiple video tracks with events scattered about or if you have audio tracks intermixed with video tracks. Here is a very simple script that I prepared that selects all video events. Just run the script and then go to Edit:Switches:Disable Resample. Done.

    /**
    * Program: SelectAllVideoEvents.js
    * Description: This script will select all video events.

    **/

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

    try
    {
    // step through all the tracks
    for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks)
    {
    // Step through all events
    for (var evnt in track.Events)
    {
    // Check to see if selected track is Video
    if (track.IsVideo())
    {
    evnt.Selected = true;
    }
    else
    {
    evnt.Selected = false;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    catch (errorMsg)
    {
    MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    }
