Update 1.2.1 is now live!

Update 1.2.1 on 2025-04-17
Overhauled "Create New Tracks from Track Presets (Searchable)" so it's always a single search.

Update 1.2.0 on 2025-04-17
NOTE: Presets will need to be updated to work with the new array template properties.

Updated the "Create New Tracks from Track Presets (Searchable)"

  • Added ability to ignore one or multiple folders from the initial search (this still requires 2 search stages). Ex: Ignore ["Avid", "Pro Tools | Carbon"]
  • Fixed some bugs on macOS Sequoia.

Load Track Preset for Selected Track (Searchable)

  • Added ability to filter multiple folders to broaden the search a bit.

Update 1.1.8 on 2025-02-07
Patch for "Export Selected Clips as Files (with Session Format)"

  • "Export Selected Clips as Files (with Session Format)" had stopped working recently. Functionality is restored.
  • Added - When using the SDK version in PT 2024.10+, you can now set a template preset to replace files, automatically rename files, or prompt if duplicates are expected.
  • Added - When using the SDK version in PT 2024.10+, you can now set a template preset to open the destination folder after export.

Update 1.1.4 on 2024-11-13

  • Added "Route Track(s) to Parent Folder" Command.

Update 1.1.3 on 2024-11-13

  • More Updates for Export Clips to Audio Files for PT 2024.10 Compatibility

Update 1.1.2 on 2024-11-13

  • Updated Export Clips to Audio Files for PT 2024.10 Compatibility

Update 1.0.99 on 2024-09-19

  • Added "Toggle Automation Lanes for Selected Tracks"

Update 1.0.98 on 2024-09-19

  • Show Automation Lanes for Tracks (All Tracks or All Selected Tracks) - in Pro Tools 2024.6+, show all lanes with automation for all tracks or selected tracks.

Update 1.0.97 on 2024-09-13

  • "Select Tracks of Type within Track Selection" now uses the Pro Tools SDK to select tracks on Pro Tools 2023.9+
  • "Show Only Selected VCAs, their Children, and Named Tracks" now uses the Pro Tools SDK to select tracks on Pro Tools 2023.9+

Update 1.0.96 on 2024-09-11

  • "Move and Route Tracks to Existing Folder (Searchable)" - This function is extensively reworked. It should be more stable and work better in Sonoma.
  • "Update Selected Group With Selected Tracks (Searchable or By Name)" and "Add Tracks to Existing Group (Searchable or By Name)" will now ignore VCA names in parentheses in the group's list. Just use the name of the "Named Group," it should work regardless of the VCA assignment.

Update 1.0.95 on 2024-09-10

  • Package now organized into Package Folders
  • "Create New Tracks from Track Presets" can now pre-select a "Track Preset Folder" to search - previously, you'd need to perform two searches, one for the folder, one for the preset.
  • "Load Track Preset for Selected Track" can now filter by a string. This allows filtering tracks your search to a named Track Preset Folder.
  • "Select Tracks of Type within Track Selection" now supports more track types (Audio, Aux, Master, VCA, Routing Track Folder, Basic Track Folder) and is a template.
  • "Bounce Current Session w User Settings (Single Session)" can now select the marker ruler to make the length of the first and last memory location the default bounce length.
  • "Add Tracks to Existing Group (Searchable or By Name)" allows adding tracks to an existing named group.
  • "Update Selected Group With Selected Tracks (Searchable or By Name)" command added

    @Daniel_Holsinger and @David_Stagl, you had requested the ability to modify my script to "Add Tracks to Existing Group" to allow for adding to a single named group. Note that this is now possible:

    There's also a great new command that I use often called "Update Selected Group With Selected Tracks (Searchable or By Name)"—this allows you to update a group with the currently selected tracks, overwriting the tracks that were previously included in that group.

            So, here's something I noticed with this that can create problems in trying to add to a group:

            If you assign a group to a VCA, Pro Tools ADDS that VCA name to the group name. So depending on your workflow, you either need to have the VCA assigned first or wait until you're done adding to the group. I'd suspect coding around this Pro Tools behavior would be really tricky if it can even be done.

              Ah, good catch, @David_Stagl!

              Please update to 1.0.96 and see if that works better with named groups assigned to VCAs. I tweaked the script to only look for the group name and ignore the VCA name.
