    It may have only released less than an hour ago, but I've been waiting for this update FOREVER! After the new 2022.9 update, as I'm sure a lot of you know, they have now integrated Melodyne into Pro Tools, which is a completely new workflow from the (still wonderful) Melodyne Prep Tool workaround that we all used to use (Thanks Scheps!)

    I'm already getting into trying to get shortcuts on these things. I understand that 'control+shift+A' will analyze a clip/track (depending on how you select it), but I'd love to figure out how to get some Soundflow ease onto these things. The following would be useful for most users:

    (First and foremost, there are TWO ways to do this, by either right clicking on the clip itself OR right clicking on the track, and going to the Melodyne selection)

    Macro to clear TRACK: (steps to get there: right click on selected TRACK, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press clear (if applicable) /Macro to clear CLIP: (steps to get there: right click on selected CLIP, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press clear (if applicable)

    Macro to RENDER TRACK: (steps to get there: right click on selected TRACK, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press 'render' (if applicable) / Macro to RENDER CLIP: (steps to get there: right click on selected CLIP, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press 'render' (if applicable)

    Macro to BYPASS(Melodyne) TRACK: (steps to get there: right click on selected TRACK, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press 'bypass' (if applicable) /Macro to BYPASS(Melodyne) CLIP: (steps to get there: right click on selected CLIP, go to Melodyne sub-section, and press 'bypass' (if applicable)

    I just can't seem to find a way to get Soundflow to get to those subset Menu Items, or more specifically, how to tell sound flow to right click on a cliip. What would you guys suggest for this?

      At the moment SF cannot directly interact with clips in the edit window.
      But obviously you can interact with the the track menus:

      Here's a script to render Melodyne on one or more selected tracks. Just change the menu path to select different menu items:

      sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.popupMenuSelect({
    isRightClick: true,
    isShift: true,
    isOption: true,
    menuPath: ['Melodyne', 'Render']
})

          Gotcha. Totally understand. Unfortunately, I really prefer to do a clip/region selection. Is there ANY workaround way to get to this? Perhaps even doing something like telling Soundflow to right click, then find the menu items? Or pre-selecting the clip/region itself?

            You can select a clip(s) in the edit window then just use a menu click command:

            //You must first select a clip(s) for this script to work

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Clip", "Melodyne","Render"]
});

              Most commands in the clip right-click menu are available from the main PT Clip menu
