Question

Preserving video/audio link when moving a clip to a different track via UXP?

I'm shifting a linked VideoClipTrackItem one video track up (to make room for another clip below it) using SequenceEditor.createCloneTrackItemAction() + createRemoveItemsAction(), since there doesn't seem to be a track-level move command (createMoveAction only shifts the in-point in time, not the track). This clone+remove approach works fine positionally, but it breaks the link to the item's linked audio clip (even when I clone+remove the linked audio item too within the same transaction).

Is there any documented (or undocumented) way to preserve the video/audio link when moving a linked item to a different track via UXP? Or am I missing something obvious?

    Confirming: You want the corresponding trackItem to move with the one you’re moving, yes?

    Not exactly. I want to move a videoClip up one track f.ex..
    However there is no function that is able to move the clip to a different track. Therefore I use SequenceEditor.createCloneTrackItemAction() + createRemoveItemsAction()
    to simulate a move of the clip.
    However when cloning the videoclip the link / connection to its corresponding audioclip gets lost. 
    This results in me having the videoclip exactly at the track i want it to however there is no link to its audio anymore, which is quite annoying.
