Bounce Mix - Select Multi Mix Sources

2023-03-14 16:31:13.020Z

Title

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

This script opens up det Bounce window, ads 3 mix sources and selects the physical outputs: DX, FX and MX BED. It all works great.. But

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

If multible mix sources are selected when opening the window the script will just add more to the existing count.

Is there a way to detect the count? remove the sources in a smart way so that you dont get an error if the count is unkoown?

How were you running this script?

I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

How important is this issue to you?

  I think the easiest way to do this would be to store the bounce window settings in one of the 1-5 preset buttons or or save the settings and select them from the top settings menu. Then just write a short script to select them

  or are you trying to add you bounce sources in addition to what may already be there?

Try this:
This will add/delete the number of sources needed (determined by the mixSources array) then set all of the source popups.

To use different sources just add or remove the paths in the mixSources array.
//CS//

//Paths to desired sources
const mixSources = [
    ["physical output", "DX BED (7.1.2)"],
    ["physical output", "FX BED (7.1.2)"],
    ["physical output", "MX BED (7.1.2)"],
];

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

// Define Bounce Window
const bounceWindow = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Bounce Mix").first

// Open bounce Window
sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('File', 'Bounce Mix...').elementClick();

// Wait for Bounce Window
bounceWindow.elementWaitFor()

// Count the number of move row buttons
// This will determine how many sources exist in the bounce window
let existingSources = bounceWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Move row").allItems.length;

// If no Move Row buttons exist then there is only one existing source
if (existingSources == 0) existingSources = 1

//Determine which button to press to add or remove sources (rows)
const addOrRemove = existingSources < mixSources.length ? "Add " : "Remove "

// Define button to press
const addOrRemoveButton = bounceWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is(addOrRemove + "row").first

// Determine how many sources to add or delete
// If number is negative (remove rows) then ensure resulting number is positive via Math.abs
const addOrDeleteCount = Math.abs(mixSources.length - existingSources)

// Add or remove rows
addOrRemoveButton.mouseClickElement({
    clickCount: addOrDeleteCount
});

// Set bounce sources 
mixSources.forEach((path, index) => {
    bounceWindow.popupButtons.allItems[index + 1].popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: path
    });
})

If this doesn't work then you'll probably have to use the menu filtering you have in your script. If that's the case, replace line 44 in my script with :
```
 menuSelector: items => items.filter(item =>
            item.path[0].endsWith(mixSourcePath[0]) &&
            item.path[1].endsWith(mixSourcePath[1]))[0]
```

Hi Chris. I have been very busy so i haven't had time before now to try out your code. It works like a charm. Thank you!

Hi again Chris.

Im having issues with line 48. The script is working well for the most parts, but its throwing an error saying:

Could not open popup menu (Bounce Video test Copy: Line 48)
Popup menu was not found
Popup window was not found after waiting 2000 ms
Sometimes its stopping on the first Mix Source, sometimes almost the last.

The code is here:

//Paths to desired sources
const mixSources = [
    ["bus", "2.0 Master (Stereo)"],
    ["bus", "5.1 Master (5.1)"],
    ["bus", "Dia Stem 2.0 (Stereo)"],
    ["bus", "Dia Stem 5.1 (5.1)"],
    ["bus", "FX Stem 2.0 (Stereo)"],
    ["bus", "FX Stem 5.1 (5.1)"],
    ["bus", "Music Stem 2.0 (Stereo)"],
    ["bus", "Music Stem 5.1 (5.1)"],
];

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

// Define Bounce Window
const bounceWindow = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Bounce Mix").first

// Open bounce Window
sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('File', 'Bounce Mix...').elementClick();

// Wait for Bounce Window
bounceWindow.elementWaitFor()

// Count the number of move row buttons
// This will determine how many sources exist in the bounce window
let existingSources = bounceWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Move row").allItems.length;

// If no Move Row buttons exist then there is only one existing source
if (existingSources == 0) existingSources = 1

//Determine which button to press to add or remove sources (rows)
const addOrRemove = existingSources < mixSources.length ? "Add " : "Remove "

// Define button to press
const addOrRemoveButton = bounceWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is(addOrRemove + "row").first

// Determine how many sources to add or delete
// If number is negative (remove rows) then ensure resulting number is positive via Math.abs
const addOrDeleteCount = Math.abs(mixSources.length - existingSources)

// Add or remove rows
addOrRemoveButton.mouseClickElement({
    clickCount: addOrDeleteCount
});

// Set bounce sources 
mixSources.forEach((path, index) => {
    bounceWindow.popupButtons.allItems[index + 1].popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: path
    });
})

Thanks in advance!!
