Rename clips from track name in Pro Tools Stream Deck Button

2023-03-02 15:35:28.034Z

Title

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

I copied a script from the web to copy the track names to clips in Pro Tools but it doesn't work. Can you help please?

Are you seeing an error?

Error in top left of screen 02.03.2023 15:33:10.09 [Backend]: !!

Hi @Andrew_Wickett

Are you wanting to name only one clip on a track? or multiple clips on one track?
Did you want to name the clip only or name the clip and disk file? If you name the "clip and disk file", you can only really name one clip this, so depending on what you want to achieve which determine how the code will work.

thanks

Mitch

@Andrew_Wickett

Here you go.

delete either nameClipSameAsTrack("name clip only"); or nameClipSameAsTrack("name clip and disk file"); in which you don't want to use in the code.

function nameClipSameAsTrack(clipNameType) {

    sf.ui.proTools.appActivate;
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow;

    const nameClipWindow = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Name").first;

    var nameTrack = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.normalizedTrackName;

    if (sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem(`Clip`, `Rename...`).isEnabled) {
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem(`Clip`, `Rename...`).elementClick();

        nameClipWindow.elementWaitFor({
            waitType: 'Appear',
            timeout: 1000,
            pollingInterval: 50,

        });

        nameClipWindow.groups.whoseTitle.is("Name").first.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
            value: nameTrack,
        });

        nameClipWindow.groups.whoseTitle.is("Name").first.radioButtons.whoseTitle.is(clipNameType).first.checkboxSet({
            targetValue: 'Enable',
        });

        nameClipWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();
    } else {
        log(`No Clip Selected`)
    };


};

///***DELETE ONE OF THESE DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME IS***///
//USE THIS FOR NAME CLIP ONLY, THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO MULTIPLE CLIPS ON ONE TRACK
nameClipSameAsTrack("name clip only");

//THIS WILL NAME THE CLIP IN THE SESSION AND THE DISK FILE IN THE AUDIO FILES FOLDER
nameClipSameAsTrack("name clip and disk file");

cheers

Hey guys, I've been trying to use this script and it doesn't seem to be renaming the clips. Everything else seems fine though
