FourPoints Script not working for Vegas 13

[Edward Troxel]

Vegas Pro 13 uses: using Sony.Vegas;

Vegas Pro 14+ uses: using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

Make sure your four points script is using the correct “using” line at the top of the script.

It was giving an error with details:C:\Users\owner\Documents\Vegas scripts\vegas 4 point selection script.cs(3) : The type or namespace name ‘Vegas’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I don’t understand: the Vegas Pro 13 uses: using Sony.Vegas;

Vegas Pro 14+ uses: using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

This is the script I was using:

public class EntryPoint
{
Vegas myVegas;

public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
myVegas = vegas;

//Change this line to change the distance between the points
Timecode FPDist = new Timecode(“00:00:01:00”);

foreach(Track track in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
{
//Now check for Volume Envelope
if (track.IsAudio() && track.Selected)
{
// Find the volume envelope on this track – add if needed
Envelope VolEnv = FindEnvelope(track, EnvelopeType.Volume);
if (null == VolEnv)
{
VolEnv = new Envelope(EnvelopeType.Volume);
track.Envelopes.Add(VolEnv);
}

double ClipVol = VolEnv.ValueAt(myVegas.SelectionStart);
//Now set the points
SetPoint(VolEnv, myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionStart, ClipVol);
SetPoint(VolEnv, myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionStart – FPDist, ClipVol);
SetPoint(VolEnv, myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionStart + myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionLength + FPDist, ClipVol);
SetPoint(VolEnv, myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionStart + myVegas.Transport.LoopRegionLength, ClipVol);
}
}
}

private Envelope FindEnvelope(Track track, EnvelopeType etype)
{
foreach(Envelope env in track.Envelopes)
{
if (env.Type == etype)
{
return env;
}
}
return null;
}

private void SetPoint(Envelope menv, Timecode PLoc, double PVal)
{
EnvelopePoint a = menv.Points.GetPointAtX(PLoc);

if (a == null)
{
a = new EnvelopePoint(PLoc, PVal);
menv.Points.Add(a);
}
else
{
a.Y = PVal;
}
}

}

Hi Cody,

I’m not a script writer, so this may not be anywhere close, but if it were me I would try……..

Add this without the quotes “using ScriptPortal.Vegas;” before the line in your script “public class EntryPoint”

You may also need to replace “Vegas myVegas;” to “ScriptPortal.Vegas.Vegas meVegas;”, again without quotes. Hopefully Edward will reply back with the correct stuff!

Best Regards……George

At the top of the script above the lines you posted will be several “Using” lines. One of them will point to Vegas. You need to use the correct one based on my first post. Your error message indicates the wrong one is being used.
