Avid Delivers New Era of Openness with Scripting Software Development Kit for Pro Tools
17 February 2023 - 12:35AM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced a new Pro Tools® Scripting
Software Development Kit (SDK) supported by the latest version of
Pro Tools that ushers in a new era of openness and flexibility for
professional music and audio post production teams. The new free
Pro Tools Scripting SDK enables high-end facilities and
developers to create apps that automate repetitive tasks and
establish new audio workflows.
The Pro Tools Scripting SDK is a language-independent API for
Windows and Mac versions of Pro Tools that provides access to a
range of commands, including open, close and save sessions, export
in various formats, perform multiple functions on the timeline,
leverage “get” commands to review clips and use “set” commands to
perform writeable actions in open sessions. The Pro Tools Scripting
SDK is an external component that serves as an access layer between
scripting applications and Pro Tools offering more commands and
greater forward compatibility.
“Avid is embarking on a new era of openness, beginning with the
SDK, to provide users with more tools to connect all of their
solutions into a unified workflow,” said Francois Quereuil, Vice
President, Product Management for Audio and Music Solutions, Avid.
“The Scripting SDK is just the beginning of the rollout of API
calls into Pro Tools, and we’re looking forward to delivering more
openness for users to improve, combine and invent with the Pro
Tools Scripting SDK.”
“Avid’s new Scripting SDK is a visionary step forward that will
revolutionize how users interact with Pro Tools. SoundFlow added
support for the Pro Tools Scripting SDK in the recent SoundFlow 5.2
release, enabling users to automate new areas of Pro Tools that
were not possible before,” said Christian Munk Scheuer, Founder and
CEO, SoundFlow. “By allowing platforms like SoundFlow to have deep
control of Pro Tools, we can in turn enable users to create
compelling, personalized user interfaces and automated workflows
that eliminate distractions and help them to focus on their
creativity.”
