Vegas Script For Field Order?

[Plamen Petrov]

Hi there,
I am looking for a script to change the field order of all footages on the timeline (footage - properties - field order), i.e. from lower to progressive.

Try this one. Save the following as ChangeFieldOrder.cs

/**
 * This script will set the field order

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Sony.Vegas;

public class EntryPoint
{
    Vegas myVegas;
    
    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
    {
        myVegas = vegas;

	foreach (Track track in myVegas.Project.Tracks)
	{
		foreach(TrackEvent evnt in track.Events)
		{
			VideoFieldOrder FType = VideoFieldOrder.ProgressiveScan;
			//VideoFieldOrder.LowerFieldFirst;
			// VideoFieldOrder.UpperFieldFirst;
			// VideoFieldOrder.ProgressiveScan;
			// VideoFieldOrder.Unknown;
				
			MediaStream mediaStream = GetActiveMediaStream (evnt, myVegas);
			VideoStream videoStream = mediaStream as VideoStream;
			videoStream.FieldOrder = FType;
		}
	}

    }

	public MediaStream GetActiveMediaStream (TrackEvent trackEvent, Vegas vegas) 
	{
		try 
		{
			if (!(trackEvent.ActiveTake.IsValid())) 
			{
				throw new ArgumentException("empty or invalid take");
			}                

    			Media media = vegas.Project.MediaPool.Find(trackEvent.ActiveTake.MediaPath);
			if (null == media) 
			{
				MessageBox.Show("missing media");
				throw new ArgumentException("missing media");
			}
    
			MediaStream mediaStream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video, 

trackEvent.ActiveTake.StreamIndex);
			return mediaStream;
		} 
		catch (Exception e) 
		{
			MessageBox.Show("{0}", e.Message);
			return null;
		}    
	}

    
}

Excalibur will also easily do this particular task if you don't want to mess with the above.
