Scripting parent track’s motion

[Edward Troxel]

Just off the top of my head (and totally untested), I would thing you would just use the Track Motion keyframes like you did in your last script – except do them on a parent track.

Thanks for your response. I tried it that way but it actually sets the track’s motion and does not affect the child tracks.

I’m afraid there is no solution for this problem but still it would be good if anyone could confirm that.

I can find where you set the parent compositing mode but don’t see anything explicitly related to parent track motion.

It seems that this scripting feature is not implemented yet — maybe it will be in Vegas 9.

It seems that you can set parent motion in Vegas 8 (and I guess 9) but it does not seem to be documented:

TrackMotionKeyframe kf = aniTrack.ParentTrackMotion.InsertMotionKeyframe(TStart);
kf.Type = VideoKeyframeType.Smooth;
kf.PositionX = xStart;
kf.PositionY = yStart;
kf.PositionZ = 5000;
kf.RotationZ = angle;
