  • Is there a way to add notes to events or a project?

    Posted by Ron Whitaker on May 11, 2015 at 2:05 am

    I noticed on this page:

    https://vasst.com/downloads.aspx

    That there is a Notepad extension to download. Does this allow you to add notes to a project regarding events or clips?

    I’m going through 35 hours of footage for a documentary. I’d like to simply add notes within Vegas to the clips that I’m viewing within the Trimmer Window.

    I downloaded the Notepad extension, but it doesn’t appear in Vegas. I am running Vegas 13. Is Notepad compatible with version 13? Or is there a better option for including notes regarding clips?

    Thank you.

    Notepad would be a good choice for your task at hand, but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated for a while, so it wont work in Vegas 13.

    Gary James FREE TimeLine Tools works in VP13

    Also, have a look at the “Comment” Field in VP13. Add a Comment and you could even search on that and make a BIN – Good; Bad; Downright Ugly!

    Hey Ron, Have you yet tried timeline tools if it has such a feature, as Graham mentioned?

    My screengrab link (on CC) above showing Notepad is from Vegas Pro 13 build 310. Notepadinstaller was 1.2.0.exe.
    See View > Extensions.
    I wonder if the later updates broke it.

    I tried installing Notepad, but it doesn’t appear anywhere. Just to confirm, where do I go after installing it to start it in Vegas 13?

    Thanks.

    It should be under View, Extensions.

    Have you looked in the customized toolbar window?
