Copy new clip to a new playlist with a dated name
Hi Everyone.
Im fairly new to the scripting world but so far am loving it. Generally when I print a mix I commit it with my master bus processing and then move it to a track that has multiple playlists for the different mixes. What I want the script to do is make a new playlist on the track that has the different mix versions, rename it so that it has todays date, take the committed track and move it to that playlist, delete the track that the committed clip it was created on, and then rename the clip to match the playlist name without the .01 at the end.
The format of my track names is always: 'Song Title - YYYYMMDD'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Just checking in here. It's likely that you'll get help quicker if you split up this question into the individual steps.
You should be able to get started with a few of these steps by following our tutorials here:

In particular, the two tutorials on UI automation might help :)

Oh man!
thank you! this is an excellent resuorce I was not aware of. These videos are super helpful thank you!
I managed to write the script but it is all done using key presses. After watching these videos I think I have an idea of how to do this using UI automation which is clearly the better choice.
Thanks again!
