Have recording not be cued or OCS delete command

Is there a way to have the recording not be added to deck?
Or add an OSC command to delete a clip
I had to write a work around OSC application, that will sends a keyboard Ctrl-X to Resolume Arena 6, when it receives a OSC select clip1 command from Resolume/OCS send
Thanks

I personally think adding a delete command could be dangerous in large networked environments. I think your application sounds like a great solution!

I agree deleting as an OSC caommand would be dangerous.
What would help me most this project would be a way not to import new recording into timeline
Thanks

This is currently not possible. Recorded clips are placed into the first free clip slot in layer 1.
Why would you like to not have the recorded clip in the composition?

We are using Resolume with several different layers and camera input in a art attraction.
We are creating a short video of the customer's interaction with the attraction and emailing it to them.
The record option creates a perfect video to send to customer, but I have to release it from the composition to email.
If I could have the recorded clip not be added to composition, then we could email without adding an additional step and extra keystrokes sent to Resolume.
Thanks

Emailing the file should be possible with the file being loaded into the composition.
Do you get an error message when you try to email the recording?

I need to rename the file to be able to email correctly, and the renaming is not possible while in the composition.
Windows reports the file is in use.
I would think it would be an easy programming option to turn off auto add to composition.
My application to resolve this issue is not always successful. Every now and then, the send ctrl-x command deletes a clip in whatever layer was left active.
Thanks for all the answers

Can you set a service to copy new recordings to a separate folder, then you’d be able to do what you want with the fresh copy.

Hi Carson,
Also looking for a way to delete clips via outside signal, whether MIDI or OSC. My use case is a bit different but overlapping - I'm snapping clips from a live camera during a show controlled by Ableton and would rather re-use the same clip slot instead of being forced to track a different slot for every part of the show.
Do you think the OSC -> Ctrl-X workaround is still the best solution for this?
Also, if anyone else has an idea that doesn't involve deleting clips I'd love to hear it.

I'm also looking for a solution to this. Really wish I could access the snapshot and clear options via OSC but I guess this ctrl-x option will have to work. I'm using chataigne as a middle man. Any idea how to turn an OSC message into a Cut Command?
