Introduction

This script pack is about rendering active take as new file. It works similarly to the native action Item: Render items to new take, but it it can works on the whole file section, or on a limited one (5 seconds per default), so you can still extend the items boundaries even post render. Default action only consider the current file section for rendering.

This is especially useful if you are working with multiple DAW, as rendering takes is necessary you for cross-software editing. If you want a script to let you know what items needs to be render for cross-software editing, take a loot at my AATranslator pack.

If the source is too big, only working on limited duration handles can make new file less heavy.
