I'm just curious as to where I might find the VT-Scripts for VT-Edit. I'm thinking maybe there isn't any, but I would like to know how to tap into making changes in some timeline functions if possible.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg

Got some good news and some bad news.

There are definitely some useful VTScript commands available for VT-Edit.

The bad news is anything that you really want to do is going to be C++ code. At least that is the way I have found it.

What kind of functions are you trying to do and maybe we can collectively come up with something?

Argh!!!

I wondered about that. I started looking through the plugin files and I think I found what you were talking about. Yeah...it didn't look to promising.

I'm definitely up for working on some stuff together. As I finish my current batch of skins, I'm just wondering what I would like to see next. Now I'm wanting to look into finding a way of defining tracks on the timeline and locking clips down. If that involves C++ code, then I'm in the dark (unless I can learn what I need to make it happen). I thought a simple way might be to create a "track group" or crouton which is placed on the timeline with the end right up to the 00:00:00:00 marker. Then all clips following this would then be controlled but this first "track group" thus making it a group control for that track. One could click on this "track group" and select to turn the whole track off or move the entire group of clips vertically on the timeline. Each "track" could then be named by this group icon and thus I could then organize my timeline and group video and audio tracks separatley on the timeline.

...or we could just have separate video and audio tracks like Premiere, etc...which is really what I want in the first place.

Again...this goes back to the original reasons for the skins I'm building...I just want to edit the way I like to.

:-) Thanks for the info!
Any suggestions?
