    Hi,

    I think a simple one I'm just struggling with, I want to spot from the clip list to edit insertion, which is available as a protools shortcut but can't be rolled out across the studios I work at. Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

      Hi, @George_Hinson,

      Here's a quick video showing how I would approach this:

      As a macro it would look like this:

      As a script:

      sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["View","Other Displays","Clip List"],
    targetValue: "Enable",
});

sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Show Options menu").first.popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["Spot to Edit Insertion"],
});

      If you are using Pro Tools 2024.6 or below, you would need to change "Show Options menu" to "Clip List."
