Yay!

It’s most likely possible to bring in the .mp4 file as well, and to set them up in a side-by-side arrangement, but I’m not going to add that, sorry :). Reason being: it would double the size of the script and take me another week to code, and it would only automate about 2 minutes real-time work (compared to the hours saved by importing the jpg slideshow). In addition, all the work I do after I run the script is unique editing based on various aspects of each project: cropping randomly sized black bars, sizing the picture-in-picture optimally based on camera angles, etc. And you can’t automate something that has to be unique each time.

The xml file looks fine. OK… maybe something got broken in the copy/paste process somehow. Here’s a link to my copy of the script, delete the .js file you have now and see if this version works instead.

Edit – ACTUALLY.. looking over your repaste of the script, there is an essential piece missing in the part where it reads the XML file. So I think this may be what gets it working :O

Hmm.. well, I have no idea about how Vegas works differently between versions so I can’t use that route to fix this. I think it’s also safe to assume that the script is running properly since you are getting it to give you a browser window, and to create a track. We just need to figure out why the important second half of the script is not getting triggered.

Everything in those screenshots looks correct (aka, exactly the same as what my successfully imported mediasite folders look like). Can you post the contents of ‘MediasitePresentation_60.xml’? Preferably to Pastebin or something so that it doesn’t wreck the layout of this forum 🙂

Oh also, did you first extract the mediasite presentation from the ZIP file it gives you? That might cause the script not to work as well.

What did you do by ‘poking at it’ that made it get to the file browser? Also, the script only works if you download a Mediasite presentation from the web interface, have you done that? It won’t work if you pull it directly off of the Mediasite box.

…oh, I just realized something. It’ll only work with Mediasite 6.0 as it is now. If you have a different version, go to line 56 (see below) and change the ‘MediasitePresentation_60.xml’ text to match whatever it is your Mediasite version outputs as the xml filename.

var squarg: StreamReader = new StreamReader(wharr + “\\MediasitePresentation_60.xml”); // Reads an external file and executes code

(If this is too complex, take a screenshot of what’s in your Mediasite presentation folder and I should be able to figure it out myself.)

[Taylor Calderone]

Are you getting to the file browser popup that says ‘Select the Mediasite folder’? If so, are you pointing the file browser at the correct folder? You need to select the root mediasite folder and not the Content folder.

It could also be version differences with Vegas, just as a guess. I’m using Vegas 12 and haven’t tested it with anything else.

I made a script for this and came across this thread in my research. It took me a couple of days rather than hours but Vegas scripting is new to me.

Instructions:
– Download the script at the link below, based on which version of Mediasite you have
– Grab a Mediasite presentation by downloading it from the web interface (important)
– Unzip the Mediasite presentation, put the folder wherever you want
– Open a new Vegas project and run the script
– A File Browser will pop up; point it at the root folder of your unzipped Mediasite presentation
– Done!
