Clean sessions,
without leaving Pro Tools.
SessionTide sweeps inactive tracks, muted clips, unused playlists, offline clips, and dead plugins — built on Avid's official scripting API, with safe, verified automation filling the gaps where that API stops short.
Five categories. One consistent rule: verify, then report.
Every sweep re-scans the session afterward and confirms exactly what changed — nothing is allowed to look "done" when it's actually partial.
Inactive Tracks
Finds and removes tracks Pro Tools already marks as inactive. Undo in Pro Tools brings them right back.
Muted Clips
Muted clips on active Audio tracks, matched exactly against your Clip List — ambiguous matches go to review, never auto-cleared.
Unused Playlists
Audits tracks carrying extra comp-lane playlists nobody's using anymore.
Offline & Unused Clips
Missing-media clips, plus anything sitting in your Clip List that's not actually in the timeline.
Plugins & Sends
Session-wide audit of disabled inserts and sends — every track, not just the ones you remembered to check.
Sweep All
Every category above, back to back, behind one confirmation. Batch Sweep All does it across a whole folder of session files.
Avid's API first. Verified automation only where Avid leaves a gap.
Avid's PTSL API, plus verified automation
Scanning and most sweeps run through Pro Tools Scripting SDK, Avid's own documented interface. A handful of operations PTSL doesn't expose — like playlist deletion — use safe, verified UI automation instead, with every step confirmed before and after.
Re-verify, every time
After any destructive action, SessionTide re-scans and reports an explicit pass/fail delta — never just "done."
Your originals are safe
Batch Sweep All only ever writes to new copies. The session you started with is never overwritten.

Before you buy
Is this safe to run on a real session?
Every sweep re-verifies itself afterward and reports exactly what changed. Still — always keep a backup before any batch or multi-file operation, same as you would for any tool that edits session data.
Does SessionTide need an internet connection?
No. It runs entirely locally and talks only to Pro Tools on the same Mac. The only network call is a one-time license check when you activate.
Is this affiliated with Avid or Pro Tools?
No. SessionTide is an independent tool built on Avid's public Pro Tools Scripting SDK (PTSL). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Avid Technology, Inc.
What if it doesn't work for me?
