Amazing !

[mpl]

I think, it would be better if propagate actions use pooled GUIDs + same names instead of just same names. Or they already work so and we have a wrong description?

[X-Raym]

@Ovnis
Glad you like it :P

@mpl
They could work with pooled MIDI if required, but that was not what were requested\needed by Ovnis. It could have also work with Audio with same source files.
Would you need such version ?

[mpl]

Oh, sorry, just watch your code. I thought you did this via native Propagate actions like Heda did. Understood you.

[musicbynumbers]

This looks cool!

I'm not quite sure I understand the difference in this to the native one though? Is there something it does that the new v5 ones don't?

I'm sure there must be right?

[X-Raym]

@musicbynumbers
In fact it is the opposite: it does less than the original propagate actions :P

It does not propagate source position, item length, item properties, item properties envelopes, items fades...
Just FX and their envelope, as requested by Ovnis.
In fact, it is pretty close to Propagate on all Takes but without other take properties (volume envelopes etc...).

[X-Raym]

In fact, I wonder if these cannot be even more useful with a complete but selective propagate item/takes action with GUI and checkboxes so that you could choose what to propagate and where.
But it would be easier to select all take with same name and use the Item/Take Paste attribute by spk77. And these selection scripts would be very easy to code.

but the spk77 script doesn't support FX and FX envelopes at this time.
Note: this solution will not be appreciated if you want to propagate different sources items at once.

@spk77
If you listen... maybe you could add these two actions (copy FX and envelope FX) in your script ?
Note: I like the approach of the Advanced GLue tool by BReeder, where you can create files to run the actions without pop up window, and what you did for it (a GUI). This can be something good for a selective propagation project.

EDIT: Oh, just found this form MPL
LUA Select all items with same name. do you plan to make it work not only for first selected items ?
Did you also write a "on track" version ? EDIT: I will make it.

[musicbynumbers]

Cool. That sounds handy!

[X-Raym]

New takes names processor :

• Search and replace in selected active takes names

Screenshot in first post

a nice complement to the SWS label processor

[musicbynumbers]

Awesome! I haven't tried it yet but just donated again anyway to say thanks

It's actually my second donation now but you definitely deserve more any way as these are so useful in day to day work and will donate again at some point as I'm sure other good stuff will come from you too!

(note: could we change my name on your site to the same as it is here please, just to keep my name semi hidden lol. No worries if not but just want to be semi hidden)

[musicbynumbers]

Just redownloaded your script folder and couldn't find it in there.

Am I right in thinking it should be in there now or is it work in progress?

I'm in no rush for it, just wanted to give you feedback and test it etc

[X-Raym]

@musicbynumbers
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement
Indeed, it is the second time, you generosity is very appreciated ! According to your request, I changed your name on the donation page.

Indeed the scripts are finished but not uploaded. I'll do that when I will be at home tomorrow.
For the persistant Window feature request, it is not simply And user friendly possible, so I think we will stay with the regular Action model. :P

Stay tuned for the upload !

[musicbynumbers]

All good

[X-Raym]

Search and Rename scripts (item and tracks) updated in my scripts pack !

[musicbynumbers]

awesome! thanks

Will try them soon!

[X-Raym]

New Script:

• Set or offset selected takes pan

Or works a bit like the SWS/Xenakios set pan and volume action,
but with this script the cursor is already focus on pan (because there is no volume field)
AND you can make offset.

I use it in custom action with the spk77 scripts to create take pan envelope from take pan.

Already used more than 100 times today... So yes... kind of useful :P

[X-Raym]

New script, made for language teacher who need to rename audio items based on vocabulary list.

• Rename selected takes from CSV input

If your works are in columns,consider using http://www.convertcsv.com/transpose-csv.htm

have fun !

[X-Raym]

New Script

• Set selected takes names by columns according to selected takes on track under mouse

* Description: A way to rename selected tems by column, according to a reference track.
* Instructions: Select items on several tracks. Mouse over a track with selected items. Run.

Enjoy !

[X-Raym]

New script :

• Set selected items notes by columns according to selected items on track under mouse
  

Demo.

(not released yet).

[Nardberr]

Hi X-Raym,

Is there a script like this? Mute unselected items on selected tracks.

I was thinking it would work nicely with you script: Select items with same color as mouse context on selected tracks.

It would allow us to comp by coloring takes or items we think are good or bad, eg. we could select green for good takes, red for bad etc. Then we could select the takes/items we want to keep and mute the rest.
Maybe this could solve some of the complaints we are hearing about comping.

Thanks for your many scripts, really appreciated

[X-Raym]

@Nardberr
Many Thanks ! Glad there are useful to you

For your FR,
What you can do is a simple custom action like:

EDIT: (new version)

1. Save item selection (SWS)
2. Toggle item selection on selected tracks (SWS)
3. Set items as mute
4. Restore item selection (SWS)
5. Set items unmute

tested, works fine !

Maybe an action to select non selected items on selected tracks tracks would be fore flexible for building other custom actions.
EDIT: this is the SWS action exposed above.

[Nardberr]

Thanks X-Raym,

Tried that custom action which is great!
I also agree with what you say about the need for that action.

Blessings

[X-Raym]

@Nardberr
In fact the SWS action Toggle item selection on selected tracks (SWS) just do that ^^

[X-Raym]

• ReaScript Name: Color selected items randomly according to their source

A way to randomly color items according to their source (media file, pool midi...)



It support empty items, midi items, pools midi (all take in same pools get same color), and audio item (all items with same source get same color)
It is more flexible than the native "set all takes from different recordign pass to random colors" action because it supports MIDI pools, items that didn't get recorded etc...

if someone is interesting, I'll put it on a premium pack.

Cheers!

[X-Raym]

New script :

It sets each to next channel number. So first item will be channel 1, next channel 2, etc

Update 2017-08-29

• Set sequential mono channel modes on selected items

Meant for correcting a bug in DaVinci Resolve for Vordio users.

[musicbynumbers]

wow! that last one is going to be so handy as a lot of the files we have for film and engine recordings are multi channel and normally have to be split manually (if you want it non-destructive). This saves a lot of time thanks!

Will have to donate again soon!

One addition at some point might be another version of it with a input box so you can choose what channel number to start on. No big deal if not though!

ooh.. or if it update the name to append the channel number on to the end like "_3"

[X-Raym]

@musicbynumbers
Maybe you can take advantage of the SWS: Set all takes to next mono channel mode action ?

Surely less efficient, but ready to use solution !

Will have to donate again soon!

Thank you very much for your consideration.
