cd for client review

Luckilly enough, easy to do in Vegas.

Go Tools|Scripting|”Add Timecode to All Media” will insert the timecode for you. Just remember that each clip will have its own start code. IOW, each clip will start at 0:00:00.

And if you’d rather have the original time code visible, apply it to the clips while they’re still in the media pool (before dragging them to the time line). You can leave this effect there while editing (so you can follow the client’s numbers) and then delete it before the final render.

Thanks for the quick response. I am using Vegas 4 and when I go to tools, scripting, the drop down menu only says “run script….” , then below that it has “set script 1 ctl+shift+1 the next line says “set script 2” then below that ctl+shift+2 and so on. What am I missing?

Vegas 4 was a little different that Vegas 5 and 6 with scripting. Go to Tools – Scripting – Run Script and then you can pick any particular script to run.

“What am I missing?”

The fact that both Jeremy and I were wrong 🙂

Timecode is an effect, not a script, that can be added like any other effect. To do as I suggested, right click the clip while it’s in the media bin, select MediaFX and then Sonic Foundry Timecode.
If you just want it on the timeline, the easiest way is to add it at the Track level (using the TrackFX icon in the track header).

Scripts are a very powerful tool though and something I encourage everyone to learn to use.
You’ll need to add a separate Script folder and point Vegas 4 to it.
The way I did was to go to the Calderwood site and download his (zipped) script package (all 98 of them!!) for Vegas 4. Make sure to get the Vegas 4 package as minor changes had to made to the scripts when Sony took over from Sonic Foundry.
Place the zipped folder inside the C:\Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Vegas 4.0 directory. Unzip it and it’ll create a new folder called Scripts.
Run Vegas and go Tools > Scripting > Run Script. Browse to the Scripts folder and select the ones you want to assign.
The beauty of Vegas 5 onwards is that all the scripts in your folder show up when you do this, not just 10. Another reason to upgrade!!
Be advised that any new scripts have slightly different wording (due to Sony’s takeover) and, while you can still use them, you have to make a very minor change to the script.

Thanks for the advice. This should take care of my problem. Have a fun 4th!

Hope it works out for you.
BTW, I’m Canadian so our holiday was yesterday.
