Hello,

Is there a way to make a specific sequence the active one?

thanks,

Kelly

You're trying to set the current sequence, to be a projectItem.

Make a new project; create two sequences. Make the second one you've created active, then try this.

var activeSeq = app.project.activeSequence;

if (activeSeq){

   

        var otherSeq = app.project.sequences[0];

        app.project.activeSequence = otherSeq;

        // Note: changes not reflected in PPro UI or API, until ExtendScript returns to PPro.

}

Sorry, didn't see this one—Yes!

app.project.activeSequence =  someSequence;

This isn't working for me. 

Here's what I'm trying to do...

any ideas?  Thanks.

//project item 5 is a sequence

var sequenceObject = root.children[5];

alert(sequenceObject.name);

app.project.activeSequence = sequenceObject;
