Track Name from File Name

I'm using Vegas Pro 12, and I decided to play around with multitrack audio editing. I've downloaded a multitrack package (from Cambridge Music Technology) and I've brought it into Vegas as multiple tracks. So far, so good.

The problem is that I don't want to have to individually rename 78 tracks, and the file names are already reasonably intelligently named. Is there a way to tell Vegas to name the tracks from the file names? For example, if the file name is "DRUMS-TOM 1 B.wav", I want the track named "DRUMS-TOM 1 B".

Perhaps it would be enough to see the file name of the clip, not the track? Ctrl + Shift + I

You would need a script to do this. A script can pull the name of the file on the track and then change the track name to that name.

It's only 78 tracks. How long could it take to rename them? 10 minutes?

Re: Track Name from File Name

I haven't written a Sony Vegas script in a while, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Wasn't really that hard and took me just over an hour because I needed a refresher on Vegas APIs and C#.

The script renames the tracks based on the first media file in each track and warns you if there is media from multiple files on a given track.

PM me if you want a copy of it.
