Hi,
I would like to create a macro that opens an insert on a track, then selects a preset.
I have managed to successfully get the plugin to open, but can't get it to select the preset.
Here is a screen capture of my macro so far.
I have tried to use the Search Preset script from Christian's Protools Utilities package but can't get it to work, and I'm not sure if this is the best way to action this command?
Can someone please help me out. Thankyou!
samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesHello @Joel_McLean,
Using these macros you should get a list to choose from the opened plugin presets:
But if you want to automate choosing the preset, use Open & Select item in popup menu:
Pick the popup and write the path to the preset as written in the plugin menu
Let me know if you get stuck.

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for your reply.
I have used the Open & Select item in popup menu action but am having issues when trying to direct to the desired setting.
When I click on the plug-in setting menu, the setting is right there…ie it is not in a folder. So to direct the macro to the setting I want do I enter the setting name in the path field? I have tried just entering the setting name “Joel Final” in here but it doesn’t work.
Or do I direct it to where the actual setting file is located on the computer?
Here is a screen capture of the settings file path:
Thanks.

Here, 111 is the setting I want to select.
This works for me, be aware what you write must be exactly as it shows in the menu
Make sure pro tools is focused when you run the macro
If it's still not working send me a pic of the plugin setting popup showing the setting you want.

and you need to pick the popup as well:

The trick was to have ProTools in focus!
I had been running the script from the Soundflow Editor with it in focus.
Thanks Samuel, all done now!
