How to create an "Apply Fade" option that would also extend the handles on both end of a Clip?

Thanks for posting, @Ugosound.

For the clicking OK in your fade dialog, you need to make sure you wait for the right dialog. In your script, you're waiting for a window to pop up, whose title starts with "Fade". But in reality the window that pops up is called "Batch Fades", so that's the title you need to wait on:

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Edit', 'Fades', 'Create...').elementClick();

var dlg = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.startsWith('Batch Fades').first.elementWaitFor().element;
dlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();

There are many ways to create fades on both sides of a clip in PT.

One option (A) is to:

1. Extend the clip by 5 frames on both sides
2. Invoke the Batch Fades dialog and select a preset with the correct amount of milliseconds set on both sides, then hit OK

Another option (B) is to:

1. Invoke the Batch Fades dialog to create fades on both sides
2. Use the keyboard to navigate to the first fade, extend it X times with Alt+numpad minus.
3. Use the keyboard to navigate to the last fade, extend it X times with Cmd+numpad plus.

IMO option A is better & faster if you can live with having to hard code a millisecond amount that corresponds (almost) to the number of frames needed. Option A also supports if you have loops inside of the selection you're trying to give fades on both sides.

Option B is better if you can live without loop/intra-clip-edit support and that it's generally slower, however it will allow your fades to be frame accurate 5 frames for non 25fps situations where an even ms length for frames is impossible.

I have some code for option A that I'm using here internally. I'd be happy to share if you can put it to some use.

New to this, but this script is just what I have been looking for, great!
In my PT version (2019.6) I had to change Trim Clip/To Selection to Trim Clip/To Fill Selection to get it to work.
A question, been trying with not much luck...
If I have automation on the clip, lets say volume. In PT, If I use the trimmer to extend the clip, automation will follow, but not when I trim to fill selection, so when I use this script on clips with automation, it will not follow the extended clip, is there a way to have the automation follow the trim? Or is there another script to add to fix this?
Thanks, Ken

How do you copy and paste an action in the editor?

Since I don't have any plugs in my film at this point, I only need to move volume automation. I figured this will do it for now. It works, if I'm sure I start from the right mode and window focus... I had to use Keyboard strokes, even though I saw on the videos that it's not the greatest. Gonna work on a better solution once I have more time.

sf.ui.proTools.viewCloseFocusedFloatingWindow();

sf.keyboard.press({
keys: "alt+minus",
});
sf.keyboard.press({
keys: "alt+tab, alt+shift+numpad minus, numpad minus, numpad minus, numpad minus",
});
sf.keyboard.press({
keys: "tab, tab, cmd+shift+numpad plus, numpad plus, numpad plus, numpad plus",
});
