Is there a way to create a script/macro for this specific bin function?

January 10, 2022 at 10:06 pmMy workflow requires taking a bin with dozens of captured video files, and then creating a new sequence for each video file, naming each sequence accordingly, and inserting each video file into its respective sequence.
Is there a way to automate it or reduce some of the manual work?
Right now this is being done by hand one by one.
I have no problem hiring a programmer to do so if that’s needed, but I have no info regarding the programming language or if this kind of thing is even possible through one of the API’s.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

January 13, 2022 at 3:17 pmYou make a sequence from every clip?
I have a macro that selects the next clip in the bin.
( Match frame…Find bin…move down…select)
From there doing an auto sequence shouldn’t be too difficult.

January 13, 2022 at 6:16 pmYes I do.
I’ve tried looking for how to make macros in MC but for some reason I couldn’t find any guide or answer on the subject.
Do you mind guiding me in the right direction? My knowledge in MC is super basic. -

January 13, 2022 at 7:47 pmBut how do you create them to begin with?
Can they not just be “recorded” and then bound to a normal keyboard shortcut?

January 14, 2022 at 8:17 pmWith the stream deck you just enter the commands ( keyboard shortcuts) you want the device to perform, in the order you want it performed. If you are running Avid, and press a macro on the stream deck, it simply presses all those buttons for you.
I have a you tube posted on the streamdeck with Avid.
Check it out.
