Question

Can I do SDK-based multitrack editing?

Hello,

I'd like to do some automated editing in the multitrack view based on the content of the tracks. For example, Audition is missing basic features like "strip silence" in the multitrack view.

Is that possible? And if so, can someone point me to sample code?

Audition has a number of things exposed as part of our ExtendScript SDK which can be used with the ExtendScript Toolkit or with a custom CEP Panel.

Happy to help if you have a concrete plan on what you'd like to do. You can also request Strip Silence via the Help > Send Feedback menu command. We do read all of those.

I appreciate the response! I used the Send Feedback mechanism.

Great!

On a per-track basis in the Multitrack editor, I want to delete "silent" areas. This means being able to programmatically create a list of silent areas, create clips based on those areas, and then delete those silent clips.

We just released another update on April 18th, so I'd recommend checking that out (CC 2017.1 / 10.1.0.x). I think we've exposed more scripting things for this release, but I don't have the list handy. I don't think we've exposed a way to access the audio samples from clips directly.  I'd recommend adding a request here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Hey all, is there a different place where developers get help? I get a strong sense that either this isn't it, or that Audition's SDK may not be an ongoing project. Any pointers appreciated!

Sorry, I don't check this as regularly as it doesn't get much traffic. Our SDK isn't dead and there will be more functionality in the ExtendScript DOM in the upcoming version update.
