Help with AutomationBlocks: Placing clips from CSV at playhead position

Hey there,

I’ve been trying to use AutomationBlocks to streamline how I handle highlight cuts from longer videos, but I’ve hit a snag and could really use your guidance.

Here’s the situation:
I frequently compile highlight reels based on cut notes, which I store in a CSV file (with in- and out-points). I want to place these clips in the timeline at the current playhead position, rather than at the start of the timeline. This is because I often already have assets in my timeline.

I tried following the approach you suggested on YouTube by using the GetTime command to offset the duration of each insert. However, I’m running into some unexpected behavior:

• Sometimes, an clip gets inserted at random.
• Other times, gaps appear between the clips.

I’ve attached a sample CSV and a screenshot of my current AutomationBlocks setup.

Another issue I’m facing is that when the same clip is used multiple times, it ends up duplicated in the bin. I’d like to ensure that clips aren’t copied multiple times if they’re reused (Thats what I tried to accomplish in the middle part..).

Any advice on how to resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.
