Video Sync Offset SETUP script

2025-05-28 15:18:13.676Z

Title

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

I would like to set the protools video sync offset to 20 ms.

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

Video sync offset window appears but nothing else happens I expected the required value to be automatically entered. I was trying to create 4 scripts with different values but something is wrong

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button

How important is this issue to you?

Hi, @D_av_3,

Thanks for the question.

I copied your script into SoundFlow and noticed that line 15 is underlined in red.

This is because offsetIn is undefined and should be replaced with offsetInMilliseconds.toString().

Here's the full corrected script:

const offsetInMilliseconds = 20;

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Setup", "Video Sync Offset..."] });

const videoSyncOffsetWindow = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Video Sync Offset").first;

videoSyncOffsetWindow.elementWaitFor();

const msTextField = videoSyncOffsetWindow.textFields[0];
const okButton = videoSyncOffsetWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first;

msTextField.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
    value: offsetInMilliseconds.toString(),
    useMouseKeyboard: true
});

sf.waitFor({
    callback: () => msTextField.invalidate().value.value === offsetInMilliseconds.toString(),
    timeout: 1000,
}, `Could not set the Video Sync to ${offsetInMilliseconds.toString()}`);

okButton.elementClick();

okButton.elementWaitFor({ waitForNoElement: true });
