Hey All,

We have multiple copies of scenes that are running in playlists throughout a show. I'm looking to create a script that can grab all the copies of a scene by its name and disable all iterations of that scene in the sequencer. Does anyone know if it's possible to get scene names and disable all copies of them from the sequencer via scripting? Thank you for the help!

This script can run on a Keyboard/GPI shortcut and will find every instance of a Take Item using a specific scene. Depending on the size of your full Sequence, you may want to look in specific Sequencer Groups or at a specific Take Item ID range to limit the amount of items the script has to loop through:

'declare variablesdim take as xpTakeItemdim scene as xpScenedim i as integer'loop through all items in the sequencefor i = 0 to (engine.Sequencer.ItemCount - 1)engine.Sequencer.GetTakeItemByIndex(i,take)'get take item's Scene Nametake.GetTemplateScene(scene)'change "L3" to whichever scene name you're looking forif scene.Name = "L3"take.Disabled = trueend ifnext

Hello everyone.
Here's a slightly expanded version of Jeff Mayer's script.

        'declare variables        Dim take As xpTakeItem        Dim scene As xpScene        'loop through all items in the sequence        For i As Integer = 0 To (engine.Sequencer.ItemCount - 1)            If engine.Sequencer.GetTakeItemByIndex(i, take) Then                If Not DBNull.Value.Equals(take) Then                    'get take item's Scene Name                    take.GetTemplateScene(scene)                    'change "L3" to whichever scene name you're looking for                    If scene.Name = "L3" Then                        take.Disabled = True                    End If                End If            End If        Next
