Kevin, the short answer is “yes”. However, it would take some work to accomplish what you are asking. But it could certainly be done via a script.

Just e-mail me. Plus it will work for awhile in trial mode.

Are you saying you want the File – Properties to match the new event’s properties?

Here’s part of a script of mine that sets the File – Properties. Of course you would need to change everything after the “=” signs to point to the information in your new event.

//Set the Height and Width
myvegas.Project.Video.Height = Convert.ToInt32(txtHeight.Text);
myvegas.Project.Video.Width = Convert.ToInt32(txtWidth.Text);

//Set the Field Order
switch (cmbFieldOrder.SelectedIndex)
{
case 0:
myvegas.Project.Video.FieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.ProgressiveScan;
break;

case 1:
myvegas.Project.Video.FieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.UpperFieldFirst;
break;

case 2:
myvegas.Project.Video.FieldOrder = VideoFieldOrder.LowerFieldFirst;
break;
}

//Set the PAR
myvegas.Project.Video.PixelAspectRatio = Convert.ToDouble(cmbPAR.SelectedItem.ToString().Substring(0,6));

//Set the Framerate
myvegas.Project.Video.FrameRate = Convert.ToDouble(cmbFrameRate.SelectedItem.ToString().Substring(0,6));

myvegas.UpdateUI();

Try something more like this:

var videotrack = new VideoTrack(0, “videoStream”);
Vegas.Project.Tracks.Add(videotrack);

//I get the stream from the media I added to the media pool
var poolEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.MediaPool);
var media = poolEnum.item();
var stream = media.Streams[0];

var newEvent = new VideoEvent(cursorTimecode, stream.Length);
videotrack.Events.Add(newEvent);
var take = new Take(stream);
newEvent.Takes.Add(take);

wish: in the timeline, batch create subclips from regions* (I know we can’t create subclips if a region contains multiple clips, but for regions containing only one clip, why can’t we batch-create subclips? Can we?)

I really wish you would remove this “wish” as you have been told it CAN be done multiple times. It just requires a script. For example, my script, Excalibur will easily do this using it’s “Keep Good Clips” tool. Other scripts will do this as well.

Search for “Expand Track Layers” in the help file. You can change that mode by right-clicking the track header and choosing “Expand Track Layers”, Pressing 5 on the numeric keypad, double clicking an event edge…

Your zoom level on the timeline will determine how far the right arrow goes. The right arrow goes “one pixel” which may be one or more frame. ALT-Arrow will always go “one frame”.

You already have your answers here:

However, if the media is a single eventand the regions only go over that single event, Excalibur will create sub-clips for those regions (Timeline tab, Extract Good Clips).

If there are multiple events within a region, you would need to render out new clips for each of the regions. Excalibur can do that for you as well (Assets tab, DVD Asset Collector, use the Region Render option and you can use the region names as the file names).

So it sounds like your solution is going to be a script (Whether it be Excalibur which I wrote and mentioned above or some other scripting solution)
