Klaymen's Vegas scripts

• Klaymen.dll provides the 2 classes Grouper and Storage. While the Storage class allows you to store and retrieve any data (strings) to events and globally to a project (the data is also saved together with the project), the Grouper class allows you to find matching events (audio event to a video event and vice versa) in quite a reliable way, you can even find out about Vegas' internal grouping under certain restrictions - the most serious lack of the currect script engine implementation!
• SortEvents.js is a workflow script that allows you to cut selected events out of a working track and append/prepend them to additional tracks that are considered as "bins" (called pool-tracks), like in Mediapool. This basically allows you to "sort" events in a working track into different pools. You can also use only one pool track that you "fill" with selected new events to you need. Or you can easily remove commercial breaks out of a long capture (by moving the non-commecial parts into a pool-track).
• ProxyEvents.js is another, more complex, workflow script. Its main purpose is to fast re-arrange events in a working track into another order. You just select events in a working track that should be "grouped together" (can be anywhere on the track) and call teh script which will then move them all into newly created "proxy tracks" (audio and video). In the working track they are all replaced by a single "proxy event" that takes place of the first proxied events. This proxy event can then be treated as a single compound, like a logical group. At any time, this proxy event can be "expanded" again, which means it is replaced by the content of its matching proxy track again. The script also allows to have proxy events within proxy tracks, which basically allows nested groupings. It's difficult to explain - you must see it working.
• Layouts.js is a script that allows you to store and restore layout-sets (Alt-D 0 up to Alt-D 9) permanently. Of course this only runs under Vegas 5! You can also keep layout-sets in files and transport it to another PC or give them to a friend.
