Cut and paste clips from a sequence to another, via scripting

Hello!

Like the subject says, is it possible? I would like to cut (or paste, but cut is preferred) some selected clips and paste them into another sequence, keeping all the properties (effects, keyframe, volume ecc).

Thanks!

Correct answer Ivan Stepanov

You could try to match cut/paste partially by getting projectItem of selected clip, match in/out points and insert/overwrite it on another sequence's track. Then match intrinsic properties (motion, opacity, volume). Though there will be limitations, like no masks information, keyframes could only be set to linear (there is a bug in setInterpolationTypeAtKey() command).

Thanks Ivan,

yeah, i was already thinking of doing so, but i was hoping there was a dedicated method 😞

Maybe is there a method for nesting? With some workaround, i could use it.

Yes, you can use createSubsequence(), here is a link to docs:
