    1. When I check your log file this looks like it is indeed running.
      Please note that Pro Tools doesn't read the clipboard, so you can't use this to paste clips inside Pro Tools - this was designed for example if you need to consolidate files to then paste them into an app that accepts files to be pasted from the clipboard - for example Ableton.

      1. Ah, actually, sorry when re-reading I can see it finds the file Print.02_05.wav on every run. Does this work if you have a single selected clip when you run it?

          It ended up working (the consolidation at least. I wasn’t testing the clipboard).

          There was an extremely long delay somehow. Long enough for me to post for help. When I returned, my clip was consolidated.

          Thanks
