Hey Christian,
So I saw and have tried the script "cut/copy clip to next avaliable track. This is quite cool for foley recording but I did wonder about trying a similar command, but that it would cut to a specific track. Currently I have one record track for foley and once we have finished recording the cue, it gets cut and pasted down to the Feet/ Props tracks, which are always visible below the record track.
I was thinking you could have a stream deck page with each button being the destination track. So on the stream deck there would be buttons with the same track name as the in the pro tools session. (eg Feet 1 , Feet 2 / Props 1, Props 2). So you record the cue, and hit the desired track destination button of where you want it to go. It's kind of similar to how the fairlight xynergi use to work which was an awesome foley/adr recorder.
If it helped, I could send through our foley template.
I think it would probably work best with the larger stream deck so that you could have a bit more than 15 buttons on one page.
Might be a silly idea, but would love to see if it worked.

Yea it's pretty easy to just copy your selection to a specific track:
var targetTrackName = "Feet 1"; sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Edit', 'Cut').elementClick(); sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [targetTrackName], deselectOthers: true }); sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Edit', 'Paste').elementClick();
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2020-03-02 19:38:32.448ZI have a workflow here that works the other way round.
It allows you to have the target track selected, for example "Feet 1". Then when you're done recording, a single command will just go to your record track, cut the clip from there, go back to the target track (Feet 1), paste it, trim off the end (you hitting the stop key) and jump down to the next track (assuming the next region should be recorded to Feet 2).- DDuncan Campbell @duncancam
Script works great thank you Christian. I would love to try your workflow too if it's avaliable :)

Im in need of a similar function. However when I try this it just pastes a blank 'marker' of the selection and doesnt cut the original clips. Do you happen to know why?

Make sure you've got Link Edit and Track Selection on.

Kat F.A. built a template verison. Her's copies but it's easy to go into the code and find where it says COPY and change it to CUT. Template is nice so you can quilcky create more, and her's is nice that you can have your session open and pick a track instead of having to type its name in.
