Howdy script guys... [I'm not one or I'd do this myself
]
I see a 'need' for a script and wonder if anyone might take up the task?
I can create this as a custom action but it uses a few other lua's from various authors and I'm thinking for other users it might be better as its own simple, single script.
Here is what it does:
1-freezes a selected track
2-duplicates that frozen track so it shows right below the original
3-selects the original track and un-freezes it and mutes that original track
4-selects the dupe track and unlocks the item[s] on that duplicate
5-unselects all [tracks, items, env's]
So the end result is we get the original track left as it was before anything happened, but it is now muted... and
We get a new track below it with the wav file from the original that is available as an editable item.
Whatchathink?
PS: for what its worth, here the custom action I use that works OK
Custom action name:
SPECIAL FREEZE
Script: Archie_Track: Copy track color.lua
Track: Freeze to stereo (render pre-fader, save/remove items and online FX)
Track: Duplicate tracks
Xenakios/SWS: Select previous tracks
Track: Unfreeze tracks (restore previously saved items and FX)
Xenakios/SWS: Set selected tracks record unarmed
Track: Toggle mute for selected tracks
Xenakios/SWS: Select next tracks
Script: Archie_Track: Paste track color.lua
Item: Select all items in track
Item properties: Unlock
Track: Unselect all tracks
you can see it depends on both SWS ext. and the lua's by Archie... if you don't care about the color, the Archie lua's can be removed
