Hi there. New to SF, and asked the question on Facebook. @Kitch was kind enough to show me a script that did exactly what I need!

Thanks

Hi @Jason_Lawrence,

Welcome to the forum. Here is the script;

const fadePresetNumber = 1;

/**
 * @param {'Up'|'Down'} direction
 */
function navigateTrack(direction) {
    if (direction === 'Up') {
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Edit", "Selection", "Extend Edit Up").elementClick();
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Edit", "Selection", "Remove Edit from Bottom").elementClick();
    }
    if (direction === 'Down') {
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Edit", "Selection", "Extend Edit Down").elementClick();
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Edit", "Selection", "Remove Edit from Top").elementClick();
    }
}

function createFades(presetNum) {
    sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Edit', 'Fades', 'Create...').elementClick();

    var batchFadesWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Batch Fades').first.elementWaitFor({ timeout: 500 }, 'Could not find Batch Fades window').element;

    batchFadesWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Fade Preset Toggle').allItems[presetNum - 1].elementClick({}, 'Could not click preset button');

    batchFadesWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();

    batchFadesWin.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Disappear" });
}

function main() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    var originalSelection = sf.ui.proTools.selectionGet();

    const oldEditMode = sf.ui.proTools.editModeSet({ mode: "Slip", }).oldMode;

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

    const cursorToolCluster = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.cursorToolCluster;
    cursorToolCluster.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith('Grabber tool').first.popupMenuSelect({
        isRightClick: true,
        menuPath: ['Object']
    });

    navigateTrack("Down");
    navigateTrack("Up");

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

    navigateTrack("Down");

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

    sf.ui.proTools.toolsSelect({ tool: "Selector", });

    navigateTrack("Up");
    navigateTrack("Down");

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

    navigateTrack("Up");

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

    navigateTrack("Down");

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

    sf.ui.proTools.selectionSet({
        selectionStart: originalSelection.selectionStart,
        selectionLength: originalSelection.selectionLength,
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Edit', 'Heal Separation').elementClick();

    navigateTrack("Up");

    sf.ui.proTools.editModeSet({ mode: oldEditMode, });
}

//Change the Main Counter to Samples for the duration of the main function
sf.ui.proTools.mainCounterDoWithValue({
    targetValue: 'Samples',
    action: () => {
        main();
        createFades(fadePresetNumber);
    }
});

Here is a link on how to use a script from the forum :-)

Let me know if you get stuck.

Rock on!

Thank you, sir. I'll see what I can make of it. Really appreciate it, and am dying to hear of other innovations you've created in the audiobook world.

You just bought me at least of day of busy work.

  BTW... Here are the steps to take;
  
  Have the room tone track directly under the dialog track.
  
  Ensure that "Link Track and Edit Selection" is turned on.
  
  Make a selection that starts at the beginning of the first clip and extends to the end of the last clip.
  
  Run the script :-)

This was working for me but now I get this error message....

VOICEOVER WITHsome light background noise FAILED

Error: Line 22

is see that line 22 is referencing a 'Fade Preset Toggle'

IS there a pre set that need to be made/ labels for this to work right?

I'm on a Mac OS 10.15.7 SoundFlow v5.10.1
