Favorite Scripts for Vegas Pro

UPDATE:  I found an error in two of the download archives in this post.   I have fixed the archives and they are ready for you to download.

One of the things that I love about Sony’s Vegas Pro software is the scripting API that they have provided.  This allows Vegas Pro to quickly add many time saving functions quickly and easily.  Chances are that if you have a repetitive set of tasks that you need to be easier, there is a script to take care of you.  If not, there are some great folks in the Vegas community who are good with C# or JS who just might whip up a script to solve your needs.

Two of the great script and extension writers, Edwards Troxel and John Rofrano have each delivered script solutions large and small.  John’s Ultimate S Pro and  Edward’s Excaliber are tool kits full of time saving functions. (I personally use Ultimate S Pro for many things.)  They also continue to contributed a wealth of free scripts to the community. Read more…

Using DJ animations now easier in Vegas Pro

UPDATE:  I found an error in the download archive.  The script was named incorrectly.  I have fixed the archive and it is ready for you to download.

Using Digital Juice animations that have transparency just got easier in Vegas Pro thanks to master programmer and script writer John Rofrano. John is the great one behind the likes of Ultimate S and Production Assistant.

The inconvenience of using Digital Juice animations with transparency in Vegas Pro has come for the necessity of having to set the Alpha Channel type of each clip.  That meant right clicking the event, choosing properties, then the media tab, and finally setting the Alpha Channel type.  This new script ends that forever.  Now all you do is place the animations on the timeline, select the events, and press the new button on the toolbar.

The script is in a small zip file here: SetAlphaChannel Script for Vegas Pro (409)

Happy editing …
