Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Script problem for Ed

    Hi Ed

    I have cross posted this on your forum, and also emailed the author, John Meyer. I understand it is not your script, but seeing I got it from your website, I thought you might be able to add some educated advice.

    I have just used the JHM_Delete_from_cursor_to_event_start.js script, and it work brilliantly. Or so I thought, until I realized that it was ALSO slipping the material inside the following events by the same amount deleted. That is, all following events rippled correctly, had the correct duration, but had been slipped by the deleted duration. The AutoRipple button made no difference. Could this be because I am using Vegas 6d, and the script was written 3 years ago? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    [Kim Nance] “Could this be because I am using Vegas 6d, and the script was written 3 years ago?”

    Actually… yes it could. Vegas 6 changed some things that I’ve had to work around in Excalibur. Some older scripts have not been modified with these changes. If you look in the script, this command is used in a couple of places: AdjustStartLength. Unfortunately, the way this command works changed between Vegas 5 and Vegas 6.

    You might try commenting out this line (put // in front of it) and see if that helps:

    evnt.ActiveTake.Offset = DeleteFrames+evnt.ActiveTake.Offset;

    Thanks for this – can’t wait to get back to being a ‘cuts-only speed demon.’
