  • 1.  Disable Scenes in Sequencer via Scene Names

    Posted 05-11-2026 17:52

    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 variables
dim take as xpTakeItem
dim scene as xpScene
dim i as integer

'loop through all items in the sequence
for i = 0 to (engine.Sequencer.ItemCount - 1)

engine.Sequencer.GetTakeItemByIndex(i,take)

'get take item's Scene Name
take.GetTemplateScene(scene)

'change "L3" to whichever scene name you're looking for
if scene.Name = "L3"
take.Disabled = true

end if

next

    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
