BGs Editing: Copy Clips from Marker and Paste in various repeating locations

    I am new to SoundFlow and was wondering if there's a script to copy clips or clip groups from various tracks (layered BGs for example) that could be arranged at the end of a Pro Tools session, and Paste those clips on the intended scenes? I was thinking the clips might be organized at the end of the session as a "sound library" with markers that could have locations' names, and the scenes of the film could have also markers that match those names, or "dummy regions" with the locations names. Something as "City Center Night", "City Center Day", etc...

    It would be great that when it Pastes the clips, it does to fill the duration of the whole scene, maybe until the next Marker?

    1. @Owen_Granich_Young ?
      Don't you have a package that does something similar?

      1. Nothing programmed for 2023 yet, only old memory locations, I did have a whole system and deck for this while I cut resident evil, more or less worked exactly as OP described although it used a scene cut track to define the length of each selection, but it was pretty exacting how it had to be set up? Not really fit for general consumption

            Thanks for the reply guys! @Owen_Granich_Young do you mean nothing is programmed to work on Pro Tools 2023 versions? I could accomodate to working on a previous version if there's something that works.
            I also work with scene cut tracks, I thought it would be easier to find something that worked with memory locations but if there's something that works with scene cut tracks even better!
            Thanks again!

            1. Hey @Manuel_Gordillo if my kids not out of school because of rain I'll be on the 11am zoom call tomorrow. If you can, jump on and we'll chat about it then!

              1. Oh yeah... this is actually Super Session FX Recall I went ahead and threw a picture on it so it's easier to find.

          Did you manage to create anything? I'm trying to develop something similar and was wondering if you had any success?

          1. EDIT - actually read the orignal post again check out - Super Session FX Recall - I went ahead and threw a picture on it so it's easier to find.

            Yes Check out Advanced Memory Locations It's all updated for 2023 with SDK, blazing fast! Also I have one called Super Session FX Recall, that might be of interest. You have to click on my name to find that one in the store, as it's still beta I didn't put a picture on it.

            1. Awesome, I will check these out! This will be very helpful!

              Thanks!

              1. Yeah lemme know how it works out for you, I can definitely expand and tweak on it.
