Sony Vegas 9 – Controlling timeline from Plug-in

[Frederic Baumann]

Hi,

I do not assert anything here as I have never developped DirectX plug-ins, however as far as I could read in the SDK documentation, there is no access to the Vegas framework from within a plug-in.

Also, if I remember correctly, one of the new features of OFX (added in VP 10), was the ability to browse between frames from with the plug-in. Even though this is not directly related to what you want to do, this might confirm my first assumption.

Rather than developing a plug-in, couldn’t you develop a script or an extension? I am pretty sure the scripting API provides control over the timeline.

Hope this helps,
Frederic

Thanks Frederic. I am looking at scripting API right now. It seems it has control over timeline, but still need to dig more.
