How to show clip length on timeline?
 

I'm editing on timeline and need how to view the length og each clip. When using "Tools/Scripting/Add timecode to all media", you can see the timecode where the cursor is placed on the original clip and not the edited clip. It's also possible to count the length of each clip on the timeline, but this is not an effective way to do this.
Does anyone know about a function/script in Vegas 10 that makes it possible to see the actual length of each clip when editing`? I'm not using trimmer when editing.

"Show Event Length" is the script you want.
He has a lot of other very useful (all free!!) ones there as well.
For example, use "Open In Graphic Editor" several times on every project.

Thanks so far.

The scipt named "Show event Lenght" is downloaded. Now I cant find where(directory) to put the file named CC_Showeventhlength.dll. It's not a real script-file(cs-file), The text-file added to the -.dll-file has named some paths/directories, but I'm not able to use these paths. Maybe these paths are useful in XP/Vista. I'm using WIN7-64bit and SV Pro 10, and I need a path which is useful in Windows 7.

As I mentioned in my first post, when using "Tools/Scripting/Add timecode to all media", I could see the timecode where the cursor are placed on the original clip and not the edited clip. But when using Video Event FX and adding "Sony Timecode" to a clip, I'm getting what I need. The timecode is now in "realtime" and shows the length of the clip I'm using. But I can't add this Event FX to all clips, it would take too long time.

Any ideas here????

Leif, I just dropped it into the Pro 10 script folder.
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 10.0\Script Menu

simply drop it in the scripts folder of vegs....

Dropped the files into the script folder, but "An error occured........"

error 0x80131600(message missing)
Details: Failed to create instance of main class:"Entry point"
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.ScriptManager.Run(Assembly asm, String className, String methodName)
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.RunScript(Boolean fCompileOnly)

What to do here?

I get that same error message in XP Leif.

Make sure that you drop only the dll and png files into the script folder.
I'm using XP Pro 32-bit and it works in Pro 8, 9 and 10.
Leslie is using Windows 7 64-bit.

Mike, that's what I did as well - same message.
Running 32-bit version.

I'm on Santa's naughty list so nothing under the tree for me this year :-)
As it turns out, I've been misleading everybody.
After seeing the error messages, I did some checking and, even though it worked, it wasn't because it was in the script folder.
It was also in C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents\Vegas Application Extensions and this is where it should be placed.

This should help everyone but Leif as he's on Windows 7.

Leslie, can you confirm that the script folder is the only place this shows up in?
If you don't, I'm sending you all the snow I have (which isn't much, you'll be glad to hear!!).

Wishing a very merry Christmas to one and all.

oi vey!!!!

as ever, mike is quite right;

C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents\Vegas Application Extensions

and NOT AT ALL under scripts - that's why it shows up as an extension!

heartfelt apologies to one and all. put it down to age....

and mike, i'd be quite happy for some of your snow......

a very merry humbug to one and all......

Apology accepted.
And watch it with the age comments you old fart (says the almost 60 yr. old with a grin!!)

As far as snow is concerned, I seem to recall a news story just this week about snow in Australia somewhere.
Or am I having a flashback again?
:-)

Wait until you get to my age, then the mind really is gone, you young kids!

O|O

oi, show some respect to your elders!!!!!

we're having a real old rollercoaster of a ride with the weather. today, or at least this morning i had to put a jumper on - by lunchtime it was back to a shirt - t-shirts are out nowadays, gotta protect what's left of my fair skin....

have a really great weekend, and new year!

hey don, what age is that, and should i worry now at 63?
