"Convert" open plug in (with current settings) to the corresponding Audiosuite plugin

Yea.. I guess if there's a 1-to-1 relationship between the name of the insert plug-in and the AudioSuite version, then you could write a script/macro that automated this.
The first step would be to write down a sequence of the actions you'd like it to take. The next step would be to try to get a macro to do most of these things (the only thing I think you can't do would be the matching of the names).

Shift - cmd - C is the keystroke for copying plugin data. shift-cmd - v will paste it.
If I have the time tomorrow I could whip this up pretty easily

Ok, yes the part I can’t figure out is how to get the corresponding AudioSuite to open. The rest is pretty straight forward. Maybe it’s not possible but if anyone has any suggestions... :) Thanks!

OK.
I've edited much more robust version of the script and pasted it to the above script.
I noticed that there would be errors when converting Waves plugins to AS. Waves have 2 AS versions of each plugin (Ex. the F6 eq is listed as F6 Mono and F6 Stereo).

There was also other instances where the wrong AS version of a plugin would be selected. (Ex If the plugin selected was Vertigo VSC2 then UAD Vertigo VCS2 would be selected instead due to the way I was filtering the AS menu)

This script now looks for an exact match first and if there isn't one it assumes there is a stereo and mono AS version. It then detects if the track is mono or stereo and looks for "plug-in name + mono/stereo". If something is found this way it opens the AS and opens an alert prompting the user to double check that the right plugin has been chosen.

Hi @Chris_Shaw I'm attempting this script but it's only saving the preset but not opening the corresponding audiosuite version - you said above that you fixed it and I used the large script posted above but no luck. any ideas?

Unfortunately still no luck...Pro Tools is focused and I'm using a keyboard shortcut.

I'm using the 7 band eq as suggested. It pops up, asks me to save preset and then gives me an error - log pasted below.

Is the save preset dialogue expected behavior or should it go immediately into the audiosuite?

hey @Chris_Shaw,

thanks so much for this amazing script. sadly, it is working with all plugins except RX, which is what I would most likely want to use.

I'm getting this error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (CONVERT INSERT TO AUDIOSUITE: Line 111)
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Running Mac Os 12.6.2 and SF 5.3.2

thanks in advance.

(also, how can i get your jump the playhead forward or back a set amount script???)

Wow!
This script is very cool, I will be using it a lot.
Thanks Chris & Robert!

Hey guys - I've refactored this script to make it more robust.
It grabs the name and path from the plugin selector popup in the plugin window and then uses regex to make a path for selecting the AS plug-in.

I'm leaving the original above in case I need to refer to it.
This should also fix problems opening AS plugs that are listed as favorites and can deal with truncated names.
Let me know if this works and sorry it took so long for me to fix it:

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

// Declare variables
let pluginName;
let trackName;

// Define pluginWindow and AS Setings menu
const plugInWindow = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.contains('Plug-in:').first

const asSettingsMenu = sf.ui.proTools.firstAudioSuiteWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is('Settings Menu').first;

// Check if a plugin window is open. If not, abort
if (!plugInWindow.exists) {
    sf.interaction.notify({
        title: "Please Select an Active Plugin",
    });
    throw 0
}

// Ensure plug-in window is focused
if (!plugInWindow.isFocused) plugInWindow.elementRaise();

// Get plug-in window values
pluginName = plugInWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.contains('Plug-In Selector')
    .first.value.value;

trackName = plugInWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.contains('Track Selector')
    .first.value.value;

// Select track with plug-in
sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName, makeVisible: true }).track.trackSelect();

// Copy plugin settings
const popupMenu = plugInWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is('Settings menu')
    .first.popupMenuOpenFromElement().popupMenu;

popupMenu.popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["Copy Settings"],
});

// Open plugin popup menu, get plugin path and convert to AS menu path
function getAsMenuPathFromPluginPopup(pluginName) {
    const groupRegex = new RegExp(pluginName)
    const pluginPopup = plugInWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.startsWith("Plug-In Selector").first;

    // get all paths with plugin name
    var paths = pluginPopup.popupMenuFetchAllItems({ dismissMenu: true }).menuItems
        .filter(menuItem => groupRegex.test(menuItem.path[menuItem.path.length - 1])).map(p => p.path);

    // Remove first part of each plugin path (multi-channel / nNative / HDX, etc)
    let editedPaths = paths.map(p => {
        let tempPath = Array.from(p)
        tempPath.shift();
        return tempPath
    });

    //Get path with exact name match (to differentiate between similar plugins (ie UAD vs. other brands)
    let matchedPaths = editedPaths.filter(p => p[1].startsWith(pluginName))
    return matchedPaths[0]
};

// Run get path function
let asPath = (getAsMenuPathFromPluginPopup(pluginName))

// Save original second part of path in case AS is not found
const origPathPart2 = asPath[1]

// Strip parenthesis (if any)from second path name (for Waves)
if (asPath[1].endsWith(")")) {
    function stripParentheses(str) {
        // Regex to match the pattern "(content)" at the end of the string, capturing the content inside parentheses
        let regex = /\(([^)]*)\)$/;

        // Replace the matched pattern with the captured content
        return str.replace(regex, '$1');
    }
    asPath[1] = stripParentheses(asPath[1])
}

// Open AS Plugin
const asFound = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
    category: asPath[0],
    name: asPath[1],
    onError: "Continue"
}).success;

if (!asFound) {
    // usually due to (stereo / mono) suffex in menu path not shown in PT menu
    function splitAtLastParen(str) {
        // Find the index of the last " ("
        let lastIndex = str.lastIndexOf(" (");

        // If there is no " (", return the original string and an empty string
        if (lastIndex === -1) {
            return [str, ""];
        }

        // Split the string at the last "("
        let beforeParen = str.substring(0, lastIndex);
        let afterParen = str.substring(lastIndex);

        return [beforeParen, afterParen];
    }
    asPath[1] = splitAtLastParen(origPathPart2)[0];
    // try opening new path
    sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
        category: asPath[0],
        name: asPath[1],
    })
}
// Paste Plug In Settings
asSettingsMenu.invalidate().popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["Paste Settings"],
});

thanks chris! glad to see this upon returning from vacation. will test out asap.
