How to add all clips from a timeline to playlist

Help/How To

Well… After all these years, I finally installed AutoHotkey :smile:
I then took hints from your tutorial here, and was able to semi-automate sending Timeline clips to the Playlist.

I first select the first clip, then I press the “H” key on my keyboard, and the script does this:

  1. Copy the clip to the Source (C)
  2. Send the copy to the Playlist (Shift + A)
  3. Move the selection to the following Timeline element (empty space in that case) (Ctrl + RightArrow).
  4. Move the selection again, to the next Timeline element (the next clip) (Ctrl + RightArrow).

Then I press “H” again for each subsequent clip.

Here’s the script:

H::
Loop, 1
{
Send, ^{c}
Sleep 500
Send, +{a}
Sleep 500
Send, ^{Right}
Sleep 500
Send, ^{Right}
}
return

The ½ sec. (Sleep 500) pauses between each steps are not required. I only used them for the sake of the demo video.

I’m sure the script can be improved to make it go through the entire timeline without having to press H on each clip. But I’m not there yet :wink:

Also, I originally installed version 2.0, but when I tried to run the script, I got an alert telling me that it would only work on version 1.XX.
