Bounce Advanced Script

Hi, @Chase_A_Adams,

Yes, scripting for Pro Tools Artist does seem to require some tweaking. I apologize for not clarifying the version you were using earlier!

The script below should be a bit more stable with Pro Tools Artist.

Here's a simple test session that should work with it as well:

This should give you the following output stems:

Note that if track names are changed or more or fewer tracks are involved, this script would need to be tailored. This is just a barebones version of a bounce script but it should satisfy the conditions you laid out.
