Just uploaded ForwardReverse to the Free Tools Library at https://tools4vegas.com/library/.

“I’m also interested in some of the scripts I saw on the site – Deshaker, Kwikpreview and Slowmotion. Would these be part of the free tools library you’re uploading or are they separate?”

No, they are part of the main HOS package which is a paid app. There is a 30 day free trial, plus there is an option for a Free license which includes some of the more basic scripts and toolbars.

Let me know if there are problems with ForwardReverse.

“Should I request a trial for these scripts through the website?”

No. It will be part of the HO Free Tools library. I’ll try to upload it tomorrow and will post back when when you can download it.

Just received an email from Izotope that Izotope Elements can be purchased for $29. Might be worth your time investigating. https://www.izotope.com/en/shop/deals.html?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=SU_SE_BR_UU_US_RX&utm_content=RX-Elements_EM&utm_term=izotope%20rx%20elements|e|g|c||450889086441&gclid=CjwKCAjwmf_4BRABEiwAGhDfSdRkA95ttGG7c1NNc0nzZsJE7zJYg19Dtmt7ZibsuBHz-ZyQRSZbThoCIroQAvD_BwE

Dave is right. Izotope RX is the best.

Within Vegas, open Audio Fx to see if it has a Noise Reduction Fx. The dialog will look something like this.

If you don’t have such an Fx, you could try the freeware Audacity which does have a noise reduction filter included (which I have not used) that supposedly works OK. The idea behind both is to capture a “noiseprint” of the noise you would like to remove. Once captured, you can reduce the noise by a selected amount in db. Good luck.

The reason is that your GTX1030 card does NOT support Nvenc renders. Here’s a link to supported cards. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix

I’ve just updated a couple of scripts Points At Markers and Quantize To Frames.

Points At Markers now has a UI and can add add envelope points at markers as before, but now conversely can add markers at envelope points. There is also an option to Quantize to Frames. Both audio and video tracks envelopes are scanned with an option to include event envelopes (E.g. velocity envelopes).

Quantize To Frames has now added envelope points as an option.

Both may be downloaded in the HappyOtterScripts Free Tools library https://tools4vegas.com/library/

I’ve added a new tool to the library, Render Quality Metrics (RQM) FFmpeg, and updated an earlier tool, Set Event Length.

RQM FFmpeg is an app that makes use of FFmpeg for computing measures of render quality by comparing a rendered file to a reference file. Three traditional metrics of image quality are produced: mean-squared error (MSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the structural similarity index metric (SSIM). Additionally, the newer Netflix-developed Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF) metric may also be computed. Due to decoding differences between Vegas and FFmpeg, it is recommended that those interested in measuring RQ strictly from Vegas renders should use the Vegas Render Quality tool which can be found here. https://tools4vegas.com/render-quality/

In the new version of Set Event Length, the user may enter the new length in seconds or change the length according to a ratio. E.g. a ratio of 2.0 would reduce the length of the event(s) by half while a ratio of .5 would double the length of the event(s). This can be useful for setting event length when using the slow motion Fx in later versions of Vegas. There is also an option to close gaps created by changing event lengths.

Both may be downloaded in the Happy Otter Free Tools library at https://tools4vegas.com/library/
