Render Regions with Source Timecode intact? OR: Script to replace timecodes with ‘custom’ source times?
I’ve previously written about problems with subclips, including problems due to “low memory” (despite having 4 GB RAM). Instead of loading Vegas’ memory usage with the media files + the subclips, I’m now trying:
“Batch Render Regions”
But:
Timecodes are lost.
So:
If I work with low res ‘intermediate’ files, I can’t later switch to the full resolution source files.I hoped “Save project markers in media file” could help, but I guess those markers are only found by DVD Architect, because when I opened the avi file in Vegas, there were no markers (or regions) on the timeline. Still, perhaps the code for saving project markers could be used as a base for a script to save region in and out points, perhaps in conjunction with using the code for “Save project as path reference in rendered media” as a base for the script so the rendered region(s) can have a path reference to the source media file.
I imagined a work-around so rendered regions keep their timecodes so we can work with intermediate files then render in full resolution:
1. Run script “Export to xml”
2. Run script “Regions to Subtitles” (in the same project)
3. View ‘Edit Details’ => Commands, select all (click top-left corner), copy
4. Open Spreadsheet. Paste.
5. Open xml file with a text editor. Copy and paste into the Spreadsheet.
6. Replace each rendered regions’ timecode in and out with the subclip’s timecodes, plus set the source video file to the subclips’ source file.
*. I don’t know how to automate the matching of each subclip to its corresponding rendered region file.
7. Copy the modified XML from the spreadsheet to a text or xml editor.
8. In a new Vegas window, run script “Import from XML”.(Can someone create a script for that?)
