Just added a few new toolsets–the first, Zoom Tools, is a set of simple scripts enabling the user to quickly zoom in and zoom out of the timeline without use of the mouse wheel. Scripts include ZoomToProject which zooms out to the length of the entire project; ZoomToLoop which zooms into the selection loop; ZoomToEvents which zooms into selected events and finally, ZoomToCursor which zooms in at the cursor position. The amount of “zoom in” is controlled by a GUI which enables the user to set the timeline range displayed using either Time or Frames. Here’s a screenshot of the GUI.

A demo can be found here. https://vimeo.com/547030473

The second, SlipSlide Tools, is a set of simple scripts enabling the user to slip or slide selected events by a specific amount of time. While you can do this inside of Vegas, there is no easy way to precisely control the length of the slip or slide. A simple GUI enables the user to set both slip and time times using frames or time in milliseconds. Setting the time to just a few or a single millisecond can be useful for adjusting audio delay. Here’s a screenshot of the GUI.

The third, Add Tape Name, is a script that enables the user to add a Tape Name to project media. A simple UI enables the user to specify the name to be entered and whether the name should be applied to Selected Project Media or Project Media from Selected Events. Here’s a screenshot of the GUI.

And finally, not new, but an update to SelectEvents, a set of text scripts that enable the selection of events before, under, or after the cursor, events with markers, events within the selection loop, or events within regions.

A demo can be found here. https://vimeo.com/547030457

For $30, you can’t go wrong. Just a few of added features are GPU supported renders using Nvenc, support for UHD displays, improved stabilization, native support for video formats not supported in V14, nice dark mode display, etc. I’d highly recommend it.

Plus an added advantage is that you can use the license to upgrade to later versions unlike purchases from Steam.

Just added a new tool–AutoColorGrading. It consists of 4 scripts that are designed to quickly apply auto settings such as Color Levels or Color Balance to multiple timeline events. Since the Vegas scripting API does not provide access to the controls within the new Color Grading dialog, the approach taken is to have separate scripts for selecting the next event on the timeline and then simulating the required mouse click of the Auto Color control. Once these scripts are assigned keyboard shortcuts, a 2-click operation becomes possible from the keyboard or a 1-click operation possible for those users having a Contour Shuttle or a programmable mouse that supports macro creation.

Also included is a script, ResetColorGrading, that enables the user to reset the Color Grading Fx to “Default” for selected or all events. The user may also remove or add the Color Grading Fx to timeline events. The GUI for this script is shown below.

Here is a demo.

And finally, a direct link to the AutoColorGrading page.https://tools4vegas.com/auto-color-grading/

I’d suggest that you post a MediaInfo screenshot for both the 9 hr mp3 that’s OK and the 30 hr mp3 that is shortened.
