Event will add the effect to just that ONE event on the timeline.

Media will add it to that piece of media and it will also be applied to all other events on the timeline with that same media.

You can also add effects to a Track which will apply it to all events on that track.

And you can add effects to the preview screen which will apply it to EVERYTHING.

Here’s a script that will trim on second OFF the front and end of clips (I know, the exact opposite of what you asked). However, it may be as simple as changing:
var trimAmt = new Timecode(“00:00:01:00”);

to
var trimAmt = new Timecode(“-00:00:01:00”);

import System;

var trimAmt = new Timecode("00:00:01:00");

try {

//Go through the list of Tracks
var trackEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.Tracks);

var track : Track = Track(trackEnum.item());

//Go through the list of Events
var eventEnum = new Enumerator(track.Events);
while (!eventEnum.atEnd()) {
var evnt : TrackEvent = TrackEvent(eventEnum.item());

if (evnt.Selected) {
var dStart = evnt.Start + trimAmt;
var dLength = evnt.Length;

//Get current take offset
var tke = evnt.ActiveTake;

tkeoffset = tkeoffset + trimAmt;
evnt.Start = dStart;
tke.Offset = tkeoffset;

dLength = dLength - trimAmt - trimAmt;
evnt.Length = new Timecode(dLength);
}
eventEnum.moveNext();
}
trackEnum.moveNext();
}

} catch (e) {
MessageBox.Show(e);
}

Do you have an OLD version of Titler Pro installed? If yes, please update to the CURRENT version.

You might also want to take a look at the NewBlueFX Titler Pro which was announced at NAB this year. It makes it easy to create 2D/3D titles and lower thirds in Premiere and other NLE’s so you can use the same titler cross platform!

Just hold down the CTRL key and adjust it to the length you want it to be. That does the same thing as adjusting the “Playback rate” but also the length of the event will match the new playback rate.

Titler Pro will also let you transition in individual lines over time.

The Intel chip-set is NOT compatible. If Titler Pro is seeing the Intel card, that may also be the reason. What if the Intel chipset is totally disabled?

You’re on a MOBILE card. These cards are designed to work in one of two modes:

1. Full Powered – fully compatible mode
2. Low Powered – NOT compatible mode

When running Vegas, you MUST make sure that it stays in full powered mode. There should either be a control panel or BIOS setting (or both) to prevent it from going into low powered mode.

So it’s quite possible that Titler was reporting incompatible because it was running in low powered mode.
