Looking for the equivalent result of Avid's ability to select media relatives: or more specifically to see either
a) A show list of all master clips affiliated with one or more sequences.
b) Select all media within a bin whose contents are being used in a sequence.
My understanding it there is no such command in PPro, but is there an approach that will get us there?

How is the macro running, mimicking keystrokes? If it's keystrorkes, I'd expect it to have moments where it fails, but your demo looks pretty solid.
Thx.

Yes, it's automating key presses that you would do yourself, so there's technically no "programming" element to it.
For more robustness, at a minor cost of speed of execution, you could introduce tiny delays after each command to give the system enough time to rest before proceeding with the rest of it.
The jumpiness you see in the Project Panel is because I had to Tab to the next field to exit the Description field (Esc or Enter doesn't work here), and the width of the panel is not enough to accommodate all the columns, so it keeps scrolling back and forth. I suppose I could have Shift-Tabbed to go back to the Name field, but it doesn't matter.
Here's the Autohotkey script. It will keep looping until you press Esc:
^!+p::
Loop,
{
if (BreakLoop = 1)
{
BreakLoop = 0
break
}
Send {F12}{r}+1{Tab}{Tab}
Send xx_processed{Tab}
+3{Down}
Sleep 100
}
return
Esc::
BreakLoop = 1
return
I have been using macro scripting on both Windows and macOS for several years with great success. macOS does have Automator built into it, but Keyboard Maestro is much, much simpler to use. Autohotkey is a bit daunting to begin with, but it's easy to set up and the script language is very straightforward.
