I have made one using Sony Glow and Linear Blur. Veg file is attached here.

[Phil Seymour] “The two pass detection in renderers has nothing to do with program scene changes, “

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Most codecs detect cut transitions in videos. That’s how they improve quality while keeping the optimal data rate and quality.

If you meant to make an explanation for people like “I clicked on 2-pass and no scenes were detected”, then thanks.

No, I don’t have `a TechSpec INTERNET pages` on that.
I suggest you Google using these key words; “multipass encoding, VBR, keyframe threshold”

[Omer Aydin]

That is correct.

Actually I’m looking for a plug-in or script that does what Sony AVC encoder does while encoding a video in Two-Pass mode.
(First it scans the entire project, detects scene changes by monitoring data output(optic scan) and decides where to insert keyframes, then encode the video at 2nd-pass.)

It would be great if we could use that “First Pass” function as a tool on Vegas timeline and create markers where keyframes supposed to be created during encoding.

I just wonder if any script or plugin exists or is it possible to access that API via scripting.

You might ask why anyone would need that.
For ex; It would be very easy to find and extract sections like commercial brakes in a 6-hour single-scene video broadcast footage.

BTW, check this out;

A site like IMDB, with movies files online, and timeline with keyframes(scenes) mapped.

I use ctrl-shift-F (or just F for single track) combination for ripple if I need to work on a project that needs frequent switching between ripple and non-ripple mode.

Video and audio streams (and subtitles, etc..) in a video can be exported to seperate files and recombined without any re-encoding. It’s called muxing-demuxing.

You can use VirtualDub for that if your video file is in a type that it can handle.

Use “Direct Stream Copy” and “audio from another file…” to replace the audio, hit F7 to export as an AVI without re-encoding.

BTW, If you don’t need a permanent replacement, MediaPlayerClassic can replace audio on-the-fly. Just add the file in the same directory with the video, if the video has no audio track, it will use the separate audio file (having the same name with the video) as audio track. In case an audio stream already exist in the video, then you need to pick the file from “Right-click/Audio” menu.

Here is a quick project file I made where A and C comes together making a `D`.
Hope it helps.

Hi Juan,
That’s the solution I was looking for.
Thank you very much for the video tutorial. 🙂

Thanks a lot John, that secret menu will help me a lot.

Right-Click-Drag works! Thank you very much for that tip Tyson Onaga.
I thought they disabled that feature but it appears they just hide it:)
