Removing Sharpen FX From Multiple Clips

[John Rofrano]

Without a script like Ultimate S Pro or Excalibur, you have to do it one event at a time. 🙁

Thanks for the prompt reply John. This forum is, as always, great. It looks like it may be time for me to look into some other tools. I’ll take a look at the two you mentioned.

Mark, I dug through my script collection and found the following one that should work for you.
Thanks to Edward Troxel for making it available.

Copy everything below, paste it into Notepad, save it as RemoveAllEffects.js, copy it into your script menu folder and you should be good to go.
You will need to select which events it’s to be applied to.
I just tried it in Pro10.0d and it works for me.

var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks);
while (!trackEnum.atEnd()) {
var track : Track = Track(trackEnum.item());

//Go through the list of Events
var eventEnum = new Enumerator(track.Events);
while (!eventEnum.atEnd()) {
var evnt : TrackEvent = TrackEvent(eventEnum.item());

if (evnt.Selected & evnt.IsVideo()) {
var videoEvent = VideoEvent(evnt);
var i;
for (i=videoEvent.Effects.Count – 1; i >= 0; i–) {
var effect = videoEvent.Effects[i];
videoEvent.Effects.Remove(effect);
}
}

eventEnum.moveNext();
}

trackEnum.moveNext();
}

} catch (e) {
MessageBox.Show(e);
}

It’s important to note that the script that Mike posted will remove ALL FX from the selected events not just Sharpen FX. So any other FX will be lost. Ultimate S Pro will only remove the FX to tell it to.

John, I neglected to mention that detail so thanks for the reminder.

How about making a Preset Chain of what you want, and then, from Plugin Manager, drag/apply that to a selection of Events? It would knock out the previous chain. Wouldn’t that do it?

Grazie

HI;

I’m trying to get this script to remove all audio FX. I tried changing the instances of Video (or video) in the script to Audio (or audio) but it fails with this error:

C:Program FilesSonyVegas Pro 10.0Script MenuRemoveAllEffects.js(33) : Variable ‘audioEvent’ has not been declared

Any hints greatly appreciated!

Here is a script that deletes all (video and audio) effects, just added few lines to the original
