Delete spaces between selected videos modify script
I am currently doing edits in a studio as a sideline, working with their machine with Vegas 14 installed. I am editing mostly mtv style edits & many small clips are involved. I have this script which currently affects video only when closing gaps & I want to modify it to include also the audio with the corresponding videos selected. So the function must be like in Vegasaur close gaps with selected events NOT TRACKS. Tried HOS trim frames with selected events but it moves the clips to the start of TL or other clips to the left , Vegasaur trial has ended in this machine so no good. Someone can help me with this, thank you.
/**
* Program:
* Description: Remove gaps between events. This removes gaps in SELECTED events only. The remove gap function only works on selected events.
All events before and after the selected event are NOT processed. The GAP constant is used as the defined spacer between events
as they are processed. If you want the space between events to be 0, then set GAP to 0. GAP unit is milliseconds. Default is 1000 (1sec).
This script was created because the only other RemoveGaps script found on the interet had a bug where it truncated the end of each event
on complex tracks. This script works on complex tracks with 1000’s of events. Also the other script processed all events on a track, this
script processes only selected tracks, so you can selectivly decide which evemts to process and which to not process.

Hi Ramil. Well, you’re working MAGIX VegasPro 14, and not a SONY product anymore. There are references to SONY in the Script which could have something to do with it. You’ve also said you’re running a DEMO of another s/w that’s run out. At this point, if nobody is capable or willing to debug this for you then I strongly advise you to hop on over to the OFFICIAL MAGIX Forum where you’d get a better chance of getting focussed responses :
https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/vegas-pro-forum/scripting/
Or wait here till one of Scripting Gurus may pop in. Your call.

Yes I’ve run that script in VP14 by changing the Sony to ScriptPortal, I just posted my reference script with the original one with Sony on it.
I’ll seek help from the Magix Forum if I am not lucky enough here. Thank you for the response. -

In the future post what you ARE using. Your “reference” just confuses the issues and wastes time in getting you an answer.

You can buy VASST Event Tools for $12.95 USD and have this capability and a whole lot more. ????
