Using Scripting

Using the scripting features, Vegas® software becomes an even more powerful and flexible tool. You can use scripting to streamline repetitive tasks, integrate with external applications, and implement customized features.

To use scripting, you’ll need to install the Microsoft® .NET Framework. This component is available from

the Microsoft Windows® Update site. (Choose Windows Update from the menu.)

Note: To use scripts that were created for Vegas 4.0 software, you'll need to revise the script's namespace from SonicFoundry.Vegas to Sony.Vegas. For example, the line that includes “import SonicFoundry.Vegas;” should be changed to “import Sony.Vegas;” before running the script.

This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.

Running a script

1.From the Tools menu, choose Scripting, and then choose Run Script from the submenu. The Run Script dialog is displayed.

2.Browse to the script file (.vb or .js) you want to run.

3.Select the file and click the Open button. The script runs.
