Installation

The easiest way to install on your site is to use pip:

% pip3 install ptulsconv

This will install the necessary libraries on your host and gives you command-line access to the tool through an entry-point ptulsconv. In a terminal window type ptulsconv -h for a list of available options.

Theory of Operation

Avid Pro Tools can be used to make spotting notes for ADR recording sessions by creating spotting regions with descriptive text and exporting the session as text. This file can then be dropped into Excel or any CSV-reading app like Filemaker Pro.

ptulsconv accepts a text export from Pro Tools and automatically creates PDF and CSV documents for use in ADR spotting, recording, editing and reporting, and supplemental JSON documents can be output for use with other workflows.
