Color Code clips based on Channel Name

Hello SF Group!

I am in desperate need of help on this script. I tried 3 days of research and got no where. My apologies ahead of time for the lengthy description, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.

Usually I will get AAF files from an editor, and the clips are scattered all over the place. Boom will jump from Ch. 1 to Ch. 6, Lav clips will be on 4 different tracks, etc. So I decided to write a script that would go through my AAF folder and color code these clips for me. That way, I have a nice visual of where my clips are, and save a lot of time organizing them to the proper tracks.

Now, not all my sessions will have the same Channel Names. I was able to make a simple one saying "if the Channel Name is BOOM, color it RED. If the Channel Name is LAV, color it Blue. But I want it be a little more universal. Not all my sessions will have only LAV and BOOM. Some will have MOM, or KID, or PlantBoom/CarBoom, MixL, etc.

So to try and solve this, I thought it would be best to create a prompt that allows you to enter what Channel Names you're looking for. That prompt stores the responses into an Array.

Here's where I run into problems. I am trying to color each channel name differently based on the array index. This way it doesn't have to be in order, and I'm ok not having the same channels the same colors all the time, since I won't always have the same channels in some projects.

So I'm trying to say "if there's a value in index slot 0, color it. index slot 0 says 'Boom', so find all the Channel Names that match and color 'Boom' channels color 1. If there's a value in index slot 1, color it. index slot 1 says 'Ben', so find all the Channel Names that match and color 'Ben' channels color 5." etc.

If it finds a channel name that was not listed in the array, it leaves that clip the default color.

I did a quick mockup of what I'm trying to do. You can see in the screenshot how Channels named "Ben" are colored BLUE. Channels named BOOM are green. Channels named MixL and MixR are left default since I did not enter them into the array.

I'm happy to clarify further if needed, and am completely open to any new ideas on how to achieve this. Thank you so much for the help, and my apologies for the long, confusing post.

The result I'm currently getting is that it colors all the clips the same color, even if it's not listed in the array/

Here is the current code:

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

const channelNamesPrompt = prompt("What Channel Names are you looking for?\nSeparate items using a comma (,).");
const arraySlice = channelNamesPrompt.split(", ");


const aafFolderName = "— AAF —"

sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
    names: [aafFolderName]
});

sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "alt+a"
});

// Get children tracks in folder.
function selectFolderChildren() {
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Edit", "Selection", "Extend Edit Down"] })
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Edit", "Selection", "Remove Edit from Top"] })
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Edit", "Selection", "Extend Edit Down to Members"] });

    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Edit", "Select All"]
    });
}

selectFolderChildren();

//Do for each track.
const folderTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders.slice().map(track => {
    track.trackSelect();
    track.trackScrollToView();

    function colorClip() {

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

        const renameWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Name").first;
        const clipChannelName = renameWin.groups.whoseTitle.is("Clip Info").first.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").allItems[8].value.invalidate().value;

        renameWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Cancel").first.elementClick();

        let c = 0;

        for (let i = 0; i < arraySlice.length; i++) {
            sf.ui.proTools.colorsSelect({
                colorTarget: "ClipsInTracks",
                colorNumber: c+=3
            });
        }

    };

    sf.ui.proTools.clipDoForEachSelectedClip({
        action: colorClip
    });
});
