Ah, so you don’t have several TAKES within an EVENT?

Thanks Ellen, I understand now.

So, every Event may have several Takes, and you want just that active Take Name to label the Marker. Much of what you want I’ve done separately with Excalibur and the VASST Scripts. However the Active Take name is something I’m not fathoming. Maybe a Script Guru can have some ideas.

It has to be doable.

I use the Mighty Excalibur by Edward Troxel. The A/V restore Icon sits loud and proud on my Toolbar.

OK, just went down Memory Lane with some Google searching. I found the script on the Calderwood site. I haven’t used the script nor can I vouch for it in any way!:

=========

/*
* (re)create audio parts on seperate audio track for all selected video events
*/

import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;

try {
// create new target audio track
var targetTrack = new AudioTrack(-1,”Missing Audio”);
Vegas.Project.Tracks.Add(targetTrack);
// step through all selected video events:
for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks) {
for (var evnt in track.Events) {
if (!evnt.Selected || evnt.MediaType != MediaType.Video) continue;
// create a fitting audio event and add to target audio track:
var audioEvent = new AudioEvent(evnt.Start,evnt.Length);
targetTrack.Events.Add(audioEvent);
// step through all events of selected video event
for (var tke in evnt.Takes)
{
// find first audio stream in this takes media
var aviFile = new Media(tke.MediaPath);
for (var stream in aviFile.Streams)
{
if (stream.MediaType != MediaType.Audio) continue;
// create new take out of this audio stream
var newTake = new Take(stream,tke.IsActive);
// add it to target audio event (must be done before anything else!!)
audioEvent.Takes.Add(newTake);
// fit offset to video event
newTake.Offset = tke.Offset;
break; // we assume there’s only one audio part in any avi file
}
}
audioEvent.Selected = true;
}
}
} catch (e) {MessageBox.Show(e);}

This needs to be reworked for the new owners of VP. Here’s that Calderwood site: https://s92274348.onlinehome.us/vegas.html

[Gina Doyle] “explain why it is my video track duplicates itself unnecessarily underneath itself after rendering is complete”

Did you use render to New Track?

[László Kovács] “I would use 3D trackmotion.”

I would have too, however if you look closely at the screen it is distorted. Hence my suggestion. Distort plus TM would do it. The clue for me was the “Bend” reference.

[Larry Brewer] “Any ideas out there?”

First check that the Keystroke is still active.

I use this combo in several s/w products. Have you been using it so?

How about rebooting?

[Kuba Luk] “Also, how to deal with pixelation in images that are taken from the internet?”

Smart resizing in a Graphics Editor. I use Corel PSP. Do you own a Graphics Package?
