Automatic fade in fade out?

[Theo Van laar]

Scxriopts can do this all for you. Just have a look at e.g. Excalibur or Ultmate S.

I was hoping there was a way to cut the long video clip using “S” and automatically have a chapter marker inserted as well as have the smaller clip fade in/out at that point. Is this possible?

If you type “M” after the “S” you will get a Split and a Marker. Then after all is done, select all of the events and run this script which will add a 1 second Fade In/Out to all of them.

/**
 * Program: FadeEventInOut.js
 * Description: This script will add a 1 second fade both ends of the current event

 *       April 27, 2004 - Updated for Vegas 5 libraries
 *       June 15, 2005 - Updated to work on ALL selected events
 *       August 17, 2008 - Updated to use Timecode.FromSeconds(1.0);

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

var fadeAmount : Timecode = Timecode.FromSeconds(1.0);

try
{
     for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks)
     {
         for (var trackEvent in track.Events)
         {
             if (trackEvent.Selected)
             {
                 trackEvent.FadeIn.Length = fadeAmount;
                 trackEvent.FadeOut.Length = fadeAmount;
             }
         }
     }
}
catch (errorMsg)
{
     MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}

Just cut and paste it into a file called : FadeEventInOut.js and place it in the Vegas “\Script Menu” folder.

The scripts that Theo mentioned can do a whole lot more. 😉
