Strip Silence Script

Hi All!

Andrew Scheps helped me script out some automation for Strip Silence (by helped, I mean he took my cave man script and brought it to life!)

It has a few things that could be improved upon, but thought we would share. You'll want to enter your strip silence settings before running the script, but this will strip silence from selected tracks, both adjacent and non. I love this one!

// NOTE: Setup Strip Silence with your preferred settings before running this script

function stripTheSilence(trackHeader) {


    //Select track
    trackHeader.trackSelect();

    //Scroll track into View
    trackHeader.trackScrollToView();


    // Select All Clips In Track
    sf.keyboard.press({
        keys: 'cmd+a'
    });


    // Click Strip Button
    sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Strip Silence").first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Strip").first.mouseClickElement();

    // Create Fades On Clips

    sf.keyboard.press({
        keys: 'f'
    });


}

function main() {
    // Set Pro Tools frontmost
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    //Get selected tracks
    const selectedTrackHeaders = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders;

    // Declare stripSilenceWin Variable as Strip Silence Window

    var stripSilenceWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Strip Silence").first;

    if (stripSilenceWin && stripSilenceWin.exists) {
        //Strip Silence IS open, do nothing
    } else {
        //Strip Silence is NOT open
        // Open Strip Silence
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ['Edit', 'Strip Silence']
        });
        //    stripSilenceWin.getElement("AXTitleUIElement").elementWaitFor();

    }

    selectedTrackHeaders.forEach( trackHeader => {
        stripTheSilence(trackHeader)
    });

    // Close Strip Silence
    sf.ui.proTools.viewCloseFocusedFloatingWindow();

}

main();
