Looking for a script

[Steve Rhoden]

Never scene such a script, but one that does that may can
easily be written.

who would be available to whip up such a script? 🙂

Thanks
Randal

Yes, and Excalibur can take snapshots of the marked frames as well. I imagine Ultimate S can too.

Hi Edward. I only want the marked frames to remain on the timeline. Several thousand. What would you charge me to right one up?

Thanks
Randal

No plugin or script available for specifically what you want,
but as i said a script may can be written for it, i am no good
in that department, but others here are really great at writing
scripts for Vegas.

Hi Matt
I really appreciate to spending time on this. The script saved only the frame at the first marker (as seen below). I have found a script that saves the first frame at each event if that would help you. Its all gobboly goop to me.
Thanks
Randal

I understand the problem. My methodology was off because splitting events is a tricky thing. In my test I had all of the markers over different events. I see from your timeline that the first split would invalidate the rest. It is an easy fix (although it makes the actual script far more clock cycle intensive.)

search for and find the line

backhalf.Length = Timecode.FromFrames(FRAMELENGTHTORETAIN);

change it to

backhalf.Split(Timecode.FromFrames((FRAMELENGTHTORETAIN));

Everything will then work as planned. Sorry for the mistake. I assumed incorrectly you were taking 1 frame from different events… not many frames from a single event.

Wish i understood this script writing stuff, lol.
