Going from 4:3 to Widescreen…resizing track media script?

[Mike Kujbida]

There is a script but it’s not necessary.
Set your project properties to widescreen.
Open Pan/Crop on the first event, right-click and select “Match Output Aspect”.
Right-click it and select Copy.
Click the second event, go to the last event, shit-click it (to select all of them), right-click and select “Paste Event Attributes”.
You’re done 🙂

Thanks Mike. Worked perfectly.

Scott, I’m glad to hear that it worked for you.
If you want a script for this function, here it is.
Copy it into Notepad and save it as MatchAspect.js
BTW, I just tried in Pro 9.0d and it worked just fine.

// “Match Output Aspect” on all selected video events.
// No selection = ALL

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

var zero : int = 0;

function GetSelectionCount (mediaType)
{
var cTracks = Vegas.Project.Tracks.Count;
var cSelected = zero;
var ii;

for (ii = zero; ii < cTracks; ii ++) { var track = Vegas.Project.Tracks[ii]; if (track.MediaType == mediaType) { var eventEnum : Enumerator = new Enumerator(track.Events); while ( ! eventEnum.atEnd() ) { if (eventEnum.item().Selected) { cSelected ++; } eventEnum.moveNext(); } } } return cSelected; } function GetActiveMediaStream (trackEvent : TrackEvent) { try { if ( ! trackEvent.ActiveTake.IsValid()) { throw "empty or invalid take"; } var media = Vegas.Project.MediaPool.Find (trackEvent.ActiveTake.MediaPath); if (null == media) { throw "missing media"; } var mediaStream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType (MediaType.Video, trackEvent.ActiveTake.StreamIndex); return mediaStream; } catch (e) { //MessageBox.Show(e); return null; } } function MatchOutputAspect (keyframe : VideoMotionKeyframe, dMediaPixelAspect : double, dAspectOut : double) { var keyframeSave = keyframe; try { var rotation = keyframe.Rotation; // undo rotation so that we can get at correct aspect ratio. // keyframe.RotateBy (-rotation); var dWidth = Math.abs(keyframe.TopRight.X - keyframe.TopLeft.X); var dHeight = Math.abs(keyframe.BottomLeft.Y - keyframe.TopLeft.Y); var dCurrentAspect = dMediaPixelAspect * dWidth / dHeight; var centerY = keyframe.Center.Y; var centerX = keyframe.Center.X; var dFactor; var bounds = new VideoMotionBounds(keyframe.TopLeft, keyframe.TopRight, keyframe.BottomRight, keyframe.BottomLeft); if (dCurrentAspect < dAspectOut) { // alter y coords dFactor = dCurrentAspect / dAspectOut; bounds.TopLeft.Y = (bounds.TopLeft.Y - centerY) * dFactor + centerY; bounds.TopRight.Y = (bounds.TopRight.Y - centerY) * dFactor + centerY; bounds.BottomLeft.Y = (bounds.BottomLeft.Y - centerY) * dFactor + centerY; bounds.BottomRight.Y = (bounds.BottomRight.Y - centerY) * dFactor + centerY; } else { // alter x coords dFactor = dAspectOut / dCurrentAspect; bounds.TopLeft.X = (bounds.TopLeft.X - centerX) * dFactor + centerX; bounds.TopRight.X = (bounds.TopRight.X - centerX) * dFactor + centerX; bounds.BottomLeft.X = (bounds.BottomLeft.X - centerX) * dFactor + centerX; bounds.BottomRight.X = (bounds.BottomRight.X - centerX) * dFactor + centerX; } // set it to new bounds keyframe.Bounds = bounds; // restore rotation. keyframe.RotateBy (rotation); } catch (e) { // restore original settings on error keyframe = keyframeSave; MessageBox.Show("MatchOuput: " + e); } } var dWidthProject = Vegas.Project.Video.Width; var dHeightProject = Vegas.Project.Video.Height; var dPixelAspect = Vegas.Project.Video.PixelAspectRatio; var dAspect = dPixelAspect * dWidthProject / dHeightProject; var cSelected = GetSelectionCount (MediaType.Video); var cTracks = Vegas.Project.Tracks.Count; var ii; for (ii = zero; ii < cTracks; ii ++) { var track = Vegas.Project.Tracks[ii]; if (! track.IsVideo()) { continue; } var eventEnum : Enumerator = new Enumerator(track.Events); while ( ! eventEnum.atEnd() ) { var trackEvent : TrackEvent = eventEnum.item(); if ( !cSelected || trackEvent.Selected ) { var mediaStream = GetActiveMediaStream (trackEvent); if (mediaStream) { var videoStream = VideoStream (mediaStream); var dMediaPixelAspect = videoStream.PixelAspectRatio; var videoEvent = VideoEvent(eventEnum.item()); var keyframes = videoEvent.VideoMotion.Keyframes; var cKeyframes = keyframes.Count; var jj; for (jj = zero; jj < cKeyframes; jj ++) { MatchOutputAspect (keyframes[jj], dMediaPixelAspect, dAspect); } } } eventEnum.moveNext(); } }
