How to Auto Space Events on a Track?
There’s probably an easy way to set this but I can’t find out where to make the change.
I’m looking for a way to set the gap between events so when I drop in a number of events on a track, Vegas will automatically space them out. When it comes time to render I then need only run the Set Region Script, do a batch render and I’m finished.
For now, I need to turn on ripple and manually move every clip over and create a gap that way.
Any suggestions?

There is not actually a native way to do this. Vegas scripting is how we are expected to get things done… so here is a script.
using System;
using Sony.Vegas;public class EntryPoint
{
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
{
int GAP = 20;foreach (Track track in vegas.Project.Tracks)
{
TrackEvent Last = null;
foreach (TrackEvent ev in track.Events)
{
if (ev.Selected)
{
if (Last == null)
{
Last = ev;
continue;
}ev.Start = Last.End + Timecode.FromFrames(GAP);
Last = ev;
}
}
}
}
}This does not provide for any contingencies (like audio events not being the same size or position as the corresponding video events, etc.) It will make a 20 frame gap for all selected events on a per track basis. Change the GAP variable to whatever you prefer and select everything you want to move including any audio tracks. If you need a more comprehensive approach that deals with Groups or any other anomalies let me know.
