I'm updating a bunch of Vegas 4 scripts and I can't seem to figure out the proper syntax for opening a media file.

For Instance, one of our scripts allows us to open an mpg, drop markers to create a number of Jpegs, and then open the next .mpg automatically.

What is the new syntax?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

That process hasn't changed from version 4. Take a look at this page and see if you can find your answer:

If you still have questions, bring them back here and I'll try to help any way I can.

Well, it has somewhat.

Vegas.OpenProject used to automatically do most of that (strangely enough); we've been using the scripts that way for years, but it looks like OpenProject won't do it anymore.

This works, though, and I'll be updating our old scripts with it. All I need to do is have it create a new track if there is none and it'll work just fine.

I've never used "Vegas.OpenProject" to load media. I've always used the method of creating a media object and setting it to the file to be loaded.

The only time I've used the "OpenProject" method is when actually opening a project.
