See my answer below.
It sure would be a lot easier if we could just write this stuff in Lua or something. I keep trying to explain this, but I’m better at making the scripts then explaining them. And better at knowing why you need something (Like AE in the script) than explaining why you need something you didn’t think you needed.
It would be really nice if we could write macros and PLE’s etc. All in Lua or something, and also specify in the Lua what generic remote calls what method on a class.
It would save a lot of time.
It would also be nice to be able to put attributes on tracks or regions without having to alter the name. As above, it is all about tagging in the track name. That could just be an attribute of the track that didn’t have to be shown.
Or if you didn’t have to sometimes have tracks unhidden for operations to take effect, as in this case.
I don’t feel like sharing my composition template yet, but you can see some of the hurdles and pain in my grooving/ pop song writing template over here. The first zip is the manual.
