    Hi Guys I was looking in the forum if someone had already done something like this but I was not lucky ... but maybe I just searched badly .. I need a script to select all the clips of a selected track ... you have in mind anything to do this?

      Hi @Davide_Docente

      If a track is selected, you can use the "Click Menu Item" Macro action to select all which should select all the clips in the track;

      Or use the following script;

      sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Edit","Select All"],
});

      Hope that helps.

      Rock on!

          Hi Kitch
          What I need to do is make fades and crossfades on all the clips contained in selected (two or three) tracks ... to do this I need to select all the clips in these tracks ... the command you suggested seems to do nothing ... if I had to do it manually I would select a point in the timeline..I would select the tracks and then I would do cmd + A. .. how can I make the script do all this?

            Ahh I see, Thats possible for sure @Davide_Docente.

            Quick question though. Do you have the "Link Track and Edit Selection" button selected in the Pro Tools header?

            This will allow your cursor to be focused on the tracks that are selected.

                  Yeah... I can only think of a few scenarios where you'd want it off.

                  It caught me out when I first started writing scripts. :-)

                  Rock on!

                This should do the trick mate! :-)

                function addFadesToAllClipsOnSelectedTracks() {
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Options", "Link Track and Edit Selection"],
        targetValue: 'Enable'
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Edit", "Select All"],
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Edit", "Fades", 'Create...'],
    });

    const win = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Batch Fades").first;

    win.elementWaitFor();

    win.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();

    win.elementWaitFor({
        waitType: "Disappear",
    });
}

addFadesToAllClipsOnSelectedTracks();
