ptreport
is a tool that generates reports in the groff typesetting language
from Pro Tools sessions, for example to create spotting lists or reports.
ptreport
uses PTSL to connect directly to Pro Tools, without the
need to export text from the session and allowing for enhanced data import.
Installing ptreport
with pip will install a command-line tool that can be
invoked directly from a terminal. The tool will connect to Pro Tools with PTSL
and emit groff commands to the standard output. These can be immediately
piped to groff(1)
for rendering to a device.
$ ptreport | groff -K utf-8 -ms -Tpdf > output.pdf
At this time, the markup emitted by ptreport
uses the groff "ms"
macro package. Pro Tools clip and track names are read as Unicode, thus the
-K utf-8
option should be used.
