How to search for a specific ORIGINAL timecode stamp within a clip.

Example:

bumping this.

anyone have a way to do it, soundflow or otherwise?

is it currently possible with scripting?

would be a KILLER feature for dx editing.

:)

This should do it - requires 2.2.0-preview 2

Note how in 2.2 we have built in support for calculating timecodes in all official frame rates.

const sampleRate = 48000;

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

function formatTimestamp(timestampStr) {
    if (timestampStr.indexOf(':') >= 0) return timestampStr;
    if (timestampStr.length !== 8) return timestampStr;
    return timestampStr.replace(/^(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)$/, '$1:$2:$3:$4');
}

function gotoTimestampInSelectedClip(frameRateStr, timestampStr) {

    var timestamp = sf.projects.PxSmpteTime.newFromString({
        frameRate: frameRateStr,
        value: formatTimestamp(timestampStr)
    }, 'Could not parse timestamp: ' + timestampStr).value;

    var originalTimestampStr = sf.ui.proTools.clipGetSpottingInfo().originalTimestamp.split('.')[0];
    var originalTimestamp = sf.projects.PxSmpteTime.newFromString({ frameRate: frameRateStr, value: originalTimestampStr }, 'Could not parse SmpteTime: ' + originalTimestampStr).value;

    var timeRelativeToClipStart = timestamp.addFrames(-originalTimestamp.frameCount);

    //Since we ran clipGetSpottingInfo, our selection now starts at the clip start
    sf.ui.proTools.mainCounterDoWithValue({
        targetValue: 'Timecode',
        action: function () {
            var timeClipStart = sf.projects.PxSmpteTime.newFromString({ frameRate: frameRateStr, value: sf.ui.proTools.selectionGet().selectionStart }, 'Could not parse selection start').value;

            var timeGoto = timeClipStart.addFrames(timeRelativeToClipStart.frameCount);

            var timeGotoStr = timeGoto.toString();
            sf.ui.proTools.selectionSetTimecode({
                selectionStart: timeGotoStr,
                selectionEnd: timeGotoStr
            });
        },
    });

}

var frameRate = sf.interaction.selectFromList({
    prompt: 'Please select a frame rate',
    items: [
        'Rate23_976_ND',
        'Rate24_ND',
        'Rate25_ND',
        'Rate29_97_D',
        'Rate29_97_ND',
        'Rate30_ND',
        'Rate50_ND',
        'Rate59_94_D',
        'Rate59_94_ND',
        'Rate60_ND'
    ],
}).list[0];

var timestampStr = prompt('Please select an original timestamp to go to for the selected clip', '01:00:00:00');

gotoTimestampInSelectedClip(frameRate, timestampStr);

You can also see here for a simpler example of doing timecode math in 2.2.0+:

Very very nice!

Some things to improve.

The result fails when the frame boundary is not in grid.
Like this:

-Would be nice to remember the last frame rate setting so we don't have to select the same again and again.

-After the macro, leave revert back to the edit mode used before the macro was started, now it stays in SPOT.
