Is there a way to export clip groups (via soundflow)?
- JJeremy Bowker @Jeremy_Bowker
Specifically a currently selected clip group or groups...
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2020-06-13 12:50:07.707ZHi Jeremy - welcome to the forum :)
This is to export them as audio files? Or do you need the information from them for logging/spotting purposes?

Ah - or maybe you mean the actual thing called "Export Clip Groups..." - I didn't know about that feature actually.
But yes, that can quite easily be automated in SF.- JJeremy Bowker @Jeremy_Bowker
Yes, that's the one =)

Great! The best way to get started automating stuff like that is to follow these two videos, which will teach you the basics of creating macros that automate popup menus, dialogs etc. - by following this you'll get knowledge of how to automate pretty much any regular action in PT:

Those are very helpful. Thank you. Though, I'm a little confused about the actual exporting of clip groups as it appears to only be part of that pulldown menu above the clip window. (Thank you for your patience as I'm new to this.)

To click this, you would need to use the "Open & Select Item in Popup Menu" action in a macro. For the UI Element, you'd pick the popup button (the one to click to open the menu), and then in Menu Path you'd put "Export Clip Groups..."

You can see how it should look here:

That is great! Thank you

The option in the clip window didn't seem like official menu items so I wasn't sure how to go about accessing them via soundflow

You are fast! Checking it out now

Hi Christian, I'm trying to help Jeremy with this and I'm getting stuck too. I used the Click UI Element to get the Clip List pop up menu to appear, but I can't find a way to click within that menu once it appears. Using the Click UI Element Macro will only work with the first click, and the menu disappears in Pro Tools so I don't know of a way to automate another click within the pop up menu. The "Click Popup Menu" action doesn't seem to work either because it is expecting the output of the previous action.
There are built-in actions for clicking a Track List and group list pop up menu, but not one for the clip list. Is that something that can be added into Soundflow?
Thanks for your help with this!

Excellent! I remember that macro command, but couldn't remember what is was called. Works perfectly :)
