Macro no longer works when converted to a script

Title

Macro no longer works when converted to a script

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

Fade Clip in/out, shift tab to next clip, repeat

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

When I convert this macro to a script (and don't change anything) it no longer works.

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?

    Hi @sbiss,

    What is the script you are trying to repeat inside the "Repeat N Times" action?

      Actually, I get this error:

      TypeError: Object has no method 'action'
      (Repeat N Times line 9) (Fade Clips & Repeat: Line 4)

      The macro I am trying to trigger is a termplate preset, but it is called "Repeat N Times" from package Basics. Strange.

          I don't believe that Meta Commands from the Basic package can be converted into scripts just yet.

          You'll have to work around this by creating a new macro, adding the preset to the macro, and then converting the new macro to a script.

          Once you have the preset in code form you can then put it into a for loop. I'm happy to help you with that if you can provide the script. :-)

            OK. I'll give that a shot.
