How Do I Go Through Tracks And Events On The Vegas Timeline?

Going through the timeline is a very common task and this video illustrates how to easily look at every track and every event on those tracks.

Next we learn to look at some properties by checking to see if an event is selected. If the event is selected, we deselect it. If the event is not selected, we select it. Finally, we take a brief look at checking to see if a track is selected as well.

For scripts with no display needed, you can either run the .dll file we compiled in this example or you can run the actual .cs text file. In this case, you can simply paste the code into Notepad, save it as “ToggleSelected.cs” and you can then select that .cs file making it easier to share with other people. However, using Visual Studio still makes it easier to create the .cs file because of intellisense helping with auto completion.
