Do you find the extra nodes that Flame automatically creates when importing an XML to be extremely annoying? Do you wish you could delete all of the extra axes, lights, and shadows in a sequence with a single click? With this simple Python script, now you can! And as an added bonus, it fixes the Action resolution bug!! Many thanks to @john-geehreng for the “Fix Corrupt Actions” script, which this is based off of. Thanks to @CoryJohnson for introducing me to the Invert Axis script by @MikeV from which I learned you can edit an Action node as a text file.

Thanks for this. Will it appear in the Logik Portal? ---

Just tested. It works great , Ted. And as a bonus, by editing and reloading them, it disables the format bug for xml sequences. From now on, along with ‘Fix Premiere XML,’ it’s my favorite hook and will save me tons of time. Much appreciated. ---

I’ve updated this script - now you can select individual clips on the Timeline, in addition to selecting the entire sequence in the Media Panel. I’ve also moved the script into a folder called “Action Tools.” -Ted ---
