Hey everyone. This seems like a relatively simple ask but how can I split a clip using ExtendScript. Basically exact same as using Ctrl + K but instead using ExtendScript to do it? I've beeen searching everywhere but I only found insertClip function, but how do I split a clip? Do I need to duplicate the trackitem first somehow? I'm lost on this one. Thanks for any help!

There's no such thing as a 'cut', in the API.

Instead, you would adjust the duration of the existing trackItem, then insert a new trackItem, representing the remaining portion of the original trackItem.

Ok I get that, but how do I duplicate the original trackItem?

You'd need to recreate it, as best you can.
[Admittedly, this is sub-optimal.]
