Move entire TL right in Vegas7

Insert/Time

Easy as that!! Thanks George, I’d actually managed to do it by ‘ripple’ inserting, with all the options.

BTW have you tried exporting a series of frames using the supplied tools\scripting\render image sequence? I can’t get the thing to run and I’d like to export a short sequence of pngs from the timeline.

More details please. What problem are you encountering when trying to run it?

Thanks for the interest Edward,

I make the required time selection on the TL, usually just a few frames) run the script, the in and out script points correspond to the selection okay, but whatever I set the frame interval for (- think that’s what it’s called but I’m not by my Vegas machine at present, when I run the script it fails saying something like the frame interval should be greater than zero.

I’ve been into the script but it’s beyond me. I did try remming out the relevant comparison line but that just crashed vegas.

It’s the standard script that shippped with vegas7.

I just tried it with a Step Time: 00:00:00;01, and it worked fine here. What are all your settings for the different Time fields?

Regards,

Hmmmm, perhaps it’s a NTSC PAL thing?? I’m pal.

Settings:

Output directory: valid
File name: 000,001,00,… unchanged
Start Time: 01:00:42:18 (I had to change this as the script identified it as 00:00:42:18)
Stop Time: 01:00:43:12 (had to do the same here)
Step Time: 00:00:00:01 (Tried other values here too)

Tried jpeg and pngs

All I ever get is the ‘step time must be greater than zero’ whinge.

Best wishes

Change the ruler to one of the SMTPE settings.

Nice try Edward, but no cigar!

Both project and ruler settings are SMPTE EBU 25fps

Any other ideas? Can you look at the sony script for me?

Thanks Alan

It works fine with 60i (what I usually work in). Try changing your properties, run script, bring it back and then go back to your properties. That may not be an answer but might work as a work-around.

Thanks Jerry, it’s not really a workaround as I want a correct frame sequence to do a round trip to shake.

Weird though that it seems to work for everyone else, but my ‘vanilla’ PAL DV experiments fall over.
