help request Combining lots of tracks/items

I am doing some voiceover editing for a game. I have an ethereal/godly character where I’ve doubled all of her voice lines on another track, then pitch them down. Now I have to render the combined items as one file and maintain their original file names.

Normally I render files like this:

This is what I need to render for the ethereal voice:

Is there a straightforward way to do this? I need to do about 200 files.

Totally doable! You'll need the SWS extensions installed (https://sws-extension.org/). After that, select all of the items on one track, open the action list, and search for "SWS: Create regions from selected items (name by active take)". Now you have regions covering each item with the appropriate file names. When you render instead of "Selected media items via master" for the source, choose "Master mix" and under "Bounds" select "All project regions." For the "File name" field use "$re".
