Hello. What arguments does this functions accept? And if there any way to check arguments for QE functions?

When dragging from a panel, you can only provide N file paths to PPro; there's no way to indicate in/out ranges.

This is unlikely to change in the immediate future.

Surely someone Googles this and opens this link with the same hope as I did
qeClip.moveToTrack( 1 /*trackIdShift, int*/, 0 /*unknown, int?*/, "00:00:01:00" /*timeShift timecode ss:msms, string*/, 1 /*1 = duplicate, int bull*/)
trackIdShift- If you want to move a clip from track 2 to track 5 then here is 5-2 = 3. -3 for vice versa work too
unknown, - ... (I did a bunch of tests and couldn’t find out what was changing, I’d be glad if someone figured it out)

timeShift - move clip forvard to 1 sec in "00:00:01:00" case

duplicate - if 1 move the clip to a new track while maintaining the source one, else 0

I googled the parameters of this function and found that I had figured this out last year, but there was one mystery left. Now I have solved it, at least sort of

I don't know what to call it more precisely, but while trying to create copies of not only video but also audio, I found that the second parameter (0 /*unknown, int?*/) disables the ability to move clips on audioTracks

This parameter in the value 1 does not make the function copy the audio linked with the video or selected with it or something like, but the value 0 simply disables the ability for the function to move/duplicate the audio clip subject.

In this case, I needed to move/duplicate the audio along with video to the top tracks. To do this, I found audio clip (var qeAudio) corresponding to the video clip (in my case, it was enough to find a clip with the same parentTrackIndex and start.seconds, but this option will not suit everyone ofc) and applied
qeAudio.moveToTrack((seq.audioTracks.length - findSelAudio.parentTrackIndex - 1), 1, "00:00:00:00", 1)

UPD: Sorry, I'm an idiot confused by myself. The second variable is not a boolean int. It's like the first one, but for audio - the number of tracks to move an audio to

While it is currently the only way to do a few different things, QE DOM is unsupported, and not at all recommended.

What's the entire workflow you'd like to support?
