Auto Generate Markers at Intervals? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Auto Generate Markers at Intervals? Posted by: plasmavideo Date:10/29/2006 9:07:14 AM I've done a quick search and don't see a way to do this. I need to auto-generate some markers at intervals, say every 5 minutes, in order to create a CD of a long presentation that can have track markers for quick skipping backwards and forwards through the CD. As it is a continuous presentation, there are no typical track points. Is there a way to do this or a script for this in SF or Vegas? TIA.

Reply by: ForumAdmin Date:10/31/2006 6:55:47 AM Writing a script is the cleanest way to do this, but there is a sneaky way to get it done with other tools. For five minute intervals, first go to Special->Edit Tempo and set "Tempo in beats per minute" to to 1.0 and "Number of beats in a measure" to 5. Click OK. Now go to Tools->Auto Region. Select "Build regions using the current tempo" and set "Measures" to 1 and "Beats" to 0. Click OK. Voila! Five second regions. J. Message last edited on10/31/2006 6:56:30 AM byForumAdmin.

I have about 35 of these long format recordings to do this to, so a script would be nice. I'll try learning how to open and modify that script and also try the "sneaky" method! Thanks again. Tom

The Vegas and Sound Forge scripting APIs are pretty different. Better to start with a sample Sound Forge script than a Vegas one. Also check out the Forge scripting forum.
