Anyway, I'm struggling a bit with creating a simple delete clips script that will do the following:

...After selecting a track in Protools and pressing F13

1-The script will prompt the user to input the start location (timecode, feet+frames etc...) and end location in the same format.
2-Then it will begin deleting only up until the end location specified by the user.
3 (optional) It will ask to go down a track and proceed as it was until the user requests no.

My struggle basically is, how do I get the real time information displayed on the counters translated into something useful I can enter as a value and have the script obey it.

Would UI Browser be of any help? I've seen it mentioned before, but have not used it.

Obrigado
Hi,

One question, if you're giving the info of start and end, why don't you use that in/out to make a selection and simple delete it when that track is selected, after that it will ask if you want to go down or up the track to clean another track? I could be more simple than going clip by clip. I'm assuming all the clips inside that in/out you gave can be deleted.

UI Browser will help you for sure.
