    Hey,

    I wanted to create a simple Bounce to Quicktime "Click menu item" today, that simply goes to File / Bounce to / Quicktime and I keep getting the following error when I test it:
    Error in line 0
    Error invoking menu.click

    this is what I'm getting in the view log. (I changed from FILE menu to EDIT menu while testing and troubleshooting but still got the same error)

      Hi Ryan!

      It looks like you may have made a spelling mistake in the menu path. But without seeing your code I can't tell. (You possibly missed the upper case "T" in QuickTime or ommited the "..." after quicktime" maybe?)

      In the Macro Editor the "Click Menu Item" Action should look like this;

      Or if you want it as code it looks like this.

      sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["File","Bounce to","QuickTime..."],
});

      Hope that helps :-)
