spot to original time stamp macro/script?

I think I make something like this a while ago....

try this:

function getClipInfo() {
    try {
        //shorten name
        const clipNameWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Name').first;

        //show clip list if it's not currently shown

        let clipListIsClosed = !sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Clip List").first.exists;

        if (clipListIsClosed) {
            sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Show/Hide Clip List").first.elementClick({}, `could not show clip list`);
        }

        //shorten name
        const clipInfoGrp = clipNameWin.groups.whoseTitle.is('Clip Info').first.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText");

        sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is('Clip List').first.popupMenuSelect({
            isRightClick: true,
            menuPath: ["Show", "Auto-Created"],
            targetValue: "Enable"
        }, `could not enable show auto-created regions`);

        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ["Clip", "Rename..."],
        });

        clipNameWin.elementWaitFor({}, `could not open clip rename window`);

        //check to see if window needs expanding, and expand it if necessary
        if (!clipInfoGrp.whoseValue.is('User Time Stamp:').first.exists) {

            clipNameWin.groups.whoseTitle.is('Clip Info').first.mouseClickElement({
                relativePosition: { "x": 12, "y": 12 },
            });
        };

        let clipInfo = {

            originalTimeStamp: clipInfoGrp.allItems[21].value.invalidate().value.split('.')[0],

            duration: clipInfoGrp.allItems[19].value.invalidate().value.split('.')[0],

        };


        clipNameWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Cancel').first.elementClick({}, `could not cancel out of clip rename window`);

        if (clipListIsClosed) {
            sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Show/Hide Clip List").first.elementClick({}, `could not show clip list`);
        }


        return clipInfo;

    } catch (err) {
        throw (err === 0) ? 0 : `Error in getClipInfo: ${err}`
    }
}

function main() {

    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow()

    const selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;
    const { selectionStart, selectionEnd } = sf.ui.proTools.selectionGet();

    let clipInfo = getClipInfo();

    sf.ui.proTools.selectionSet({ selectionStart: clipInfo.originalTimeStamp, selectionLength: clipInfo.duration })

    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "left" })

    let consent = confirm('click OK to return to original selection, cancel to cancel')

    if (consent) {

        sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: selectedTracks })
        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackHeaders[0].trackScrollToView();
        sf.ui.proTools.selectionSet({ selectionStart, selectionEnd })

        sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "left" })
    }

    else {
        log('Cancelled')
    }

}

main();

Wrong script, that one goes to the original timestamp location of the selected clip.

Hey @daniel_perez,

Spot first clip in clip list to original time stamp #post-8
There is a lot of discussion on this thread about this workflow.

Here's my take on it that works well from a keyboard shortcut:

// If Auto Spot Clips is On, turn it off
if(sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Options', 'Auto-Spot Clips').isMenuChecked) { sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ['Options', 'Auto-Spot Clips'], });
}

//Switch to the "Grabber" tool
sf.ui.proTools.toolsSelect({
    tool: "Grabber",
});

//Open the “Spot Dialog” window
sf.ui.proTools.clipOpenSpotDialog();

//Wait for “Spot Dialog” window
sf.ui.proTools.clipSpotDialog.elementWaitFor();

//Click "Original Time Stamp button" in “Spot Dialog” window
sf.ui.proTools.clipSpotDialog.mouseClickElement({
    relativePosition: {"x":270,"y":250},
});

//Click “OK” button in “Spot Dialog” window
sf.ui.proTools.clipSpotDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();

// Set back to Smart Tool
sf.ui.proTools.toolsSelect({
    tool: "Smart",
});
// Set back to slip mode
sf.ui.proTools.editModeSet({
  mode: "Slip",
});

Excellent, nice work!

Line 14 does not always work

const originalTimeStamp = () => sf.ui.proTools.clipSpotDialog.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").allItems[7].value.invalidate().value.split(".")[0];

Sometime it gives the value, other times, it gives an error:
Couldn't get item #7 as the array length was 0 - sf.ui.app('com.avid.ProTools')..children.whoseRole.is('AXStaticText')[7] (AxElementArrayIndexedItem)

One way to reproduce, open spot win 1st time and it should work. open spot win a 2nd time and it won't work anymore.

clipSpotDialog needs an invalidate()

Also currentStart should return a timecode with no subframes too (in case the subframes box is ticked).

I changed lines 13 and 14 to this to prevent an infinite while loop:

const currentStart = () => spotWin.invalidate().textFields.first.value.invalidate().value.split(".")[0];
const originalTimeStamp = () => spotWin.invalidate().children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").allItems[7].value.invalidate().value.split(".")[0];
