Script for Clip Colors based on Properties

Image
Problem: Identifying clips with different properties, based on Resolution, Frame Rate & Clip Name on the same Timeline. Solution: Create a script that changes the clip color based on these properties. The first hurdle in solving this problem is to learn the scripting language LUA, Oh!
