Automation Blocks Script Idea - Nest selected Shots

Hey,

I have a script idea for Automation Blocks and maybe someone can help get it going.

 

When working on clips that need further fx in another app like AFX or Fusion I like to create a seperate track for those clips and when I get them back to also place the new clips in a nested sequence so if there are several versions I can all place them ontop of each other so that all versions are available in case I need to go back to former version for some reason.

Right now this is a manual process of selecting the clip nesting it, naming it to the shot number and moving it to the bottom most track. It is not to much work at all but maybe could be automated.

 

Some nice features would also include the option to add handles so if the shots get longer there is a bit of a wiggle room(maybe not placing the nested clip right at the start of the Sequence but offsetting it in sequence it is comming from so that it still aligns properly; not sure if this is possible) without the need to move around clips inside the nest...

And if several clips are selected to coose if the user wants to place them all in one or separate sequnces(much like the pre-comp command in AFX)

This would be something for Mathias Mohl, who runs aescripts.com, to handle. I can't get the right 'ping' for him or I'd ping him in this post.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
