Automation Blocks : change marker duration from 5 seconds to length of my clip

[jeremyd80264819]

I have a script that inputs a project item, and a marker at the playhead, it gives me a default time of 5 seconds, how may I change the script to that the duration would be the same duration of the clip selected, instead of the default times.  Thanks for your help

I added a function which retrieves the clip at the current time from a particular track. Then for the duration of the marker, we can use the duration of that clip.

Thank you for your quick response, we are closer.  Is there a way to change the duration of the "add project item(s)"  to be the duration of the clip selected in video track 1.    It currently brings it in at the default 5 seconds, which makes the marker 5 seconds as well.

Try the two changes marked in red.

This should retrieve the duration of the first selected clip in V1 (and stop with an error if there is no clip selected in V1).

I appreciate the changes, the marker comes in at the length of the clip, but the .png file still comes in at 5 seconds, not the length of the clip in v1.  

Thank you for your continued help

Try the attached script.
