I don’t get it. How can they close down the best editor? Should I be learning premiere now? Vegas is so easy, it has almost everything in one app… This sounds as crazy for me as it shocked me when sony stoped producing Vaio’s the best laptops in the world in my opinion.

What can I say, you,re the man!!!
Yes it is working good. I understand this is the best workaround to the open handles problem. I will be using this now to find out is it good enough for me or maybe my solution works better for me (which is simply closing the handles manually). For now I feel I like your script better. My idea is: i edit what I need to edit and at the end of the project I can do the clean up by deleting unused psd media files from the vegas media explorer to keep my project files in order. As now the script replaces all layers no matter which of them I edit I am sure to have all the time newest file on the timeline. Briefly summerizing… I worship you now!!! Brilliant. Thank you so much.
One last question. I have my own icon for the script to put on my toolbar. How can I have my own icon? By the way I am publishing it, whoever likes it, may use it freely 🙂 It is designed for photoshop users.10044_openingraphiceditorv1.dll.png.zip

Thanx a lot for your contribution!!!
I’ ve made just a quick testing in sv12. It opens an event in ps and updates the timeline after saving edits in photoshop. no problems with administartive rights! All those issues gone. Job well done! Thank you.
but I have few remarks.is it possible to make it work with original file like the old script did (it had an option to choose in fact)
this new script is good for simple editing, it reasons with simple projects with non-layered graphics or simple psds. but imagine edits on 10 layered psd and 10 is not so much for me in fact. imagine that i need to edit half of layers. each edit is a new take and new psd file. so i end up with 6 psd files, 10 layers each. i am quite good when i work inside of vegas. but when i need to work in photoshop only i have no idea which edited layer i have in which psd file, so it is a total mess for me. but wait!!! when i need to re-edit in vegas already edited event, it creates another new psd file to any smalest change I need, OMG!!! this way starting whit a single psd i can end up with tens of them without any clue what edits I have in which of them…
it would be all gone if i had a chance just to open a psd, edit it and save it with updating the original event in sv and original file outside of it. if you could make that happen I would worship you to the and of my days.
Until than thank you again so very muchSV12 on Qosmio X70/win 8.1/i7-4700MQ/RAM 16GB/NVIDIA GF GTX770M (3GB)

OMG Aleksy!
At last!!!
But a question: could you make it work in SV12?
sv13 has bugs concerning effects on tracks in compositing, so i and probably many users prefer to stay with sv12SV12 on Qosmio X70/win 8.1/i7-4700MQ/RAM 16GB/NVIDIA GF GTX770M (3GB)

as i can see scripts work differently on different machines. strange.
anyway my method is the only one i know that allows working with psd like i used to in sv10. if you need any additional explanations on it or help, go ahead. it depends how much people work with psd, i guess. when it is occasionally – it is not such a big deal. i use psd constantly, so i would die with all those takes, replacing files… arghhhhh…the other bug, o yes it is very annoying. if there is a script for it, i’d love to try but i think i have the fastest solution again. i have a script working from outside of sv, it is a combination of keystrokes for a button of my mouse. i have 7 buttons in my mouse so one of them is linked with the script, anytime i see my icons missing – i just hit one button and that is all 🙂
and the script gives a sequence of commands
alt+0 – give focus to timeline
alt/t
alt/t
alt/c
what leads directly to a command – ‘rescan script menu folder’ thanks to what icons are back
but i ‘d love to try your script
by the way, maybe you know how to toggle video output fx on/off with a keyboard shortcut? i wish i knew how to write scripts, it is probably a piece of cake. but i cannot…

Hi, I’ve checked your “solution” to the bug mentioned in the thread. Sorry but it is not a solution at all. Using the script “open in graphic editor” with the option “make a copy/add as take” creates flat jpg copy of the active take. It might be useful when you edit a wedding video and want to add another flower to your picture but when you create complicated animations of graphical layered elements for your video this is not a solution at all. Too bad. I hoped but I am switching back to my method which allows to edit original layered psd file.

administrative right issue
i tried that on 3 machines with win 7, 8, 8.1
if i have set sth wrong with the system I would be happy some guru here could unlighten me. john rofrano, hallo there?
i would be happy tu use the script open in graphic editor again.pulsating on render not solved yet. got no time. i changed settings in power options a bit so now it is not pulsating although i have 90% of the cpu power available constantly. 90 is ok when i have no time. better than 100 pulsating.

Oh, it is a bit more complicated. In SV12 you need to run vegas120.exe with administrative privileges to be able to run the script you mentioned. Then it truly might be even faster and easier to workaround the bug we discuss here. More comfortable? Not sure about that. Imagine a psd in which you need to made 15 consecutive edits. You have 15 new takes and 15 new files in your project folder and media bins. I call it a mess. Let’s say we have 10 different psd files in our project. You follow me? Even bigger mess. You can delete unused takes from the timeline level. Does it work with psd the same way like with audios? No idea.
But let’s leave it aside.
The most important thing is that when you have vegas.exe run as an administrator and you are a happy user of the ‘open in graphic editor’ script that i loved to use in sv10… you are unable to use drag and drop functionality. Unfortunately you need to run vegas without administrative rights to use drag and drop function within the editor. But then you cannot use ‘open in graphic editor’ script. You have to choose. I chose drag and drop, so your solution won’t work for me and who ever goes for drag and drop.SV12 on Qosmio X70/win 8.1/i7-4700MQ/RAM 16GB/NVIDIA GF GTX770M (3GB)
