Snippets

Snippets
CommandPost allows you to trigger code snippets as an action.
For example, to launch Final Cut Pro, you can write:
cp.apple.finalcutpro:launch()
CommandPost is compatible with Hammerspoon, so you can also use any of the examples on the Hammerspoon website:

Examples
Select all even clips in a timeline
cp.apple.finalcutpro:launch()
local clips = cp.apple.finalcutpro:timeline():contents():clipsUI()
table.sort(clips, function(a, b) return a:position().x < b:position().x end)
local evenClips = {}
for i, clip in ipairs(clips) do
    if (i % 2 == 0) then
        table.insert(evenClips, clip)
    end
end
cp.apple.finalcutpro:timeline():contents():selectClips(evenClips)
