    Hello.

    anyone has tried to change session file type or bit depth with the new dashboard in a script?
    I have some problems with the listings (AIFF, BWF(.WAV) and 16,24, 32-bit Float. and other)

    Thanks for your help

    1. Hey @Yvon.k,

      Yes, they're have been some slight changes in PT 2025.6 that need addressing, especially with popup menus.

      In the following post you'll find a great script @Kitch wrote in order to address these changes: Pro Tools 2025.6 heads up #post-6

      Alternatively, you can take advantage of the recent Pro Tools SDK commands to create a new session directly, completely bypassing the need to script the Dashboard. Here's a few examples of that:

      • This script will create a new 48k/24bit session and place on the Desktop:
      sf.app.proTools.createSession({ 
          sessionName: "Test Session",
          parentDirectory: "~/Desktop",
          sampleRate: "SR48000",
          bitDepth: "Bit24",
          fileType: "WAV",
          isInterleaved: true,
      });
      
      • This one is similar but will create the session based on a template, in this example it will be one of the Avid stock ones:
      sf.app.proTools.createSessionFromTemplate({ 
          sessionName: "Test Session",
          parentDirectory: "~/Desktop",
          templateGroup: "Music",
          templateName: "Rock",
          sampleRate: "SR48000",
          bitDepth: "Bit24",
          fileType: "WAV",
          isInterleaved: true,
      });
      

      Kitch made a great video walking through how to set the properties for these.

      Let me know if you have any questions!
