Your script works just fine Ed .. clever .. but not sure it’s useful. My impression was that the OP wanted to add 15 seconds to each end of a selection, not just 15 seconds on each side of the cursor position. The idea would be to extend the selection a bit on each side for purposes of rendering these selections as compilation clips. In other words, cherry picking longer events into highlights for future project media. What might work is to add something to the Batch Render script that would extend the region by X number of seconds on each side as you do the Batch Render.

From Sony Creative Software for similar problem:
In Vegas, Navigate to Options – Preferences – CD Settings and select the option for Skip Drive Database, Auto-detect drive capabilities. Click Apply then OK. Close Vegas. Restart your system. Open Vegas again.

Ok. I do see a problem. Initially you can change the pitch, but once changed and the focus goes elsewhere, coming back to the event it no longer responds to + or – or = .. If you add the same event back as a “take” it responds again to the new active take. I have no idea if this behavior is normal.

Works for me on V13 Pro Build 453. This is one feature in Vegas I’ve never used.

Instructive post. Thanks guys. I never realized you could save a “chain of effects” as a new preset. Seems like naming it would be the hardest part.
“Paste attributes” is another handy way to re-use chains of effects and apply them to other events.

It’s not enough to save a veg file to save a project. The Veg file does not save the original files unless you do a “save as” and check the box “copy media with project”. The veg file itself does NOT contain any media within it. If you erased your drive without actually saving the media contained in the project, it is gone. The question here is simple. Did you save the media for the project or just the veg file?

I don’t see an automatic way to enlarge a selection 15 seconds on each end. But it seems to me to easy enough (and quick) to drag the selection bar on each end to an approximate 15 seconds. If your purpose is to make sure you have a clean start and end to the clip, that should work.

Sounds like you are making a compilation video with the source being 15 different DVD’s. Easiest thing I can think of is to select the sections you want for each DVD in the same way you are doing it now — BUT as you go, render out these sections to a loseless format like Sony MXF files. When you are done you should have at least 15 MXF files in the same folder. Use these MXF files to make your complilation. You simply cannot use 15 different DVD’s as your source.

You need to explain what you want in much more detail.

Hopefully you saved your work before closing Vegas and installing the plug-in. Look for the file in your project folder that has the .bak tail. That’s your backup. To see the .bak files – click on file/open then in the bottom right change the Look In drop down list from All Projects to All files. THen you should see the .bak files listed.
If the back up files has the same problem something else is wrong.
